Great. Yahoo Finance is pretty good and there's https://www.iexcloud.io if you need something more robust.

Some people get it. Thank you.
33.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
Thank you. Right, that's something to think about.

I partially agree, there are good/informative emails out there. I for one subscribe to many and unsubscribe to tons all the time and my inbox is tidy, probably because I'm a little OCD

Yep, it takes commitment even with the simplest idea.

by blakbelt78 7y ago
Thank you. It's a simple idea that scratches an itch, I like your idea about sector-specific info that might be something to look into to. The tagline is correct it's just for fun!

That's just for fun. I guess I've been hanging out too much at r/wallstreetbets

Awesome. Keep at it!

I like to see the historical data so I can put the numbers in perspective, Yahoo Finance doesn't provide 20, 30y time frame that's the main reason. Thanks for the list I'll check them out.

Thank you! Yes it is, I really enjoy trying to solve my own problems. SendGrid provides that signup form and it’s very limited, probably I’ll need to have a custom one at some point.
41.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
Cool. I didn’t know about this one. Definitely looking into it.
42.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
Yep their API is solid.
43.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
Thanks. Yeah I agree I was just trying to come up with something decent given my limited design skills.
44.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
Then it's up to you. You can buy the dip, sell whatever.
45.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
Same. Thank you.
46.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
Yeah, I'm trying to stay away from scrapping, parsing, and that whole mess. Right now I'm relying on Yahoo Finance undocumented API and possibly IEX Cloud in the future.
47.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
Fixed. Thank you.
48.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
You should. I've been hashing out my ideas in writing lately and it has been helping me a lot.

The point is for average investors not day traders to get an uncluttered view of the market before it opens so they can have an idea if a possible big swing is happening on any given day. I find it useful in my use case since email is the f

I've already subscribed to your project, I like your idea quite a bit. I have some other plans in the pipeline lets see how this one goes first.
51.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
Yeah, I've done some research and decided to go with Sendgrid because they are the only ones that offer API in their free tier. Their free marketing campaign plan offers 2k contacts + 6k emails month which should be plenty to start.

The thing with Alpaca and Polygon I think is that their most affordable plans are only for personal use I believe.
53.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
LOL. That's just me making fun out of it.
54.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
Yeah, I'm tracking adjusted closing points.
55.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
Yeah, I wanted to do that but I was expecting Sendgrid to provide that which they don't so I need to build something. It's on my TODO list. Thanks for the feedback.
56.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
From all the API's I've looked at IEX Cloud seems the most comprehensive with a generous free tier https://www.iexcloud.io
57.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
Yep. That was the plan.
58.
by blakbelt78 7y ago
They have an undocumented one that you can check in the network tab on your browser. this is how the API looks like https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v8/finance/chart/%5EGSPC?in...

That was just to make fun
