Robintwits
Based on the Robinhood API, I attempted to merge Stocktwits API to create hype stock trend analysis platform. I wanted to combine both the buy side and hype side of these stocks into a very basic analytics platform. After Robinhood shut down their unofficial API my project was dead. Also Stocktwits are quite restrictive with their API use now, I believe.
Lesson learned: Platform risk is an obvious threat to your project. You can never go wrong by choosing freedom. Build something from the ground up and if you are relying too much on other people's product make sure you recoup investments fast as possible.
- Enginerrrd 5y agoOh man, that sucks. That sounds like a reasonable, maybe even pretty good idea compared to most on here. But you got really unlucky I think.
- anyfactor 5y agohaha thanks, friend. Appreciate it. I didn't get hit as hard as Robintrack though. They essentially bought Robinhood's unofficial API to public interest which essentially led Robinhood to close that down.
