Running Scripts

• Go to back/ directory.
• Create a praw.ini file with the following

[ClientSecrets]
client_id=<your client id>
client_secret=<your client secret>
user_agent=<your user agent>

Note that the title of this section, ClientSecrets, is important because ticker_counts.py will specifically look for that title in the praw.ini file.

• Install required modules using pip install -r requirements.txt
• Run ticker_counts.py first
• Now run yfinance_analysis.py
• You will be able to find your results in data/ directory.

Web app

There's also a JavaScript web app that shows some data visualizations if you don't want to read the csv files.

Usage

Once you finished running the scripts, you'll have to set up the local server

cd back
python wsgi.py

Then, launch the client

cd front
cp .env.example .env
npm install
npm run serve

You can change the env variables if you need to

Ticker Symbol API - EOD Historical Data

Included for potential future use is a csv file that contains all the listed ticker symbols for stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds (~50,000 tickers). This was retrieved from https://eodhistoricaldata.com/. You can register for a free api key and get up to 20 api calls every 24 hours.

To retrieve a csv of all USA ticker symbols, use the following:

https://eodhistoricaldata.com/api/exchange-symbol-list/US?api_token={YOUR_API_KEY}
