Reddit Stock Trends 📈

See trending stock tickers on Reddit and check Stock perfomance

Backend

Reddit API

• Get your reddit API credentials from here.
• Follow this article to get your credentials.
• 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.

Local usage

• 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.
• [Optional] Run wsgi.py to start a server that returns the data in JSON format. This step will generate the csv files if they don't already exist.

Frontend - Vue

There's also a JavaScript web app that shows some data visualizations.

Local usage

Start the local server. This server will generate the csv files if they don't already exist.

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

Docker usage

• Requires Docker 17.09.0+ and docker-compose 1.17.0+
• make sure you have .env or a system wide export for the var VUE_APP_API_URL, see env.example
• docker-compose up -d to start all services in the background. (-d == detatched)
• docker-compose up <servicename> to bring up a specific service.
• docker-compose rm removes the image
• docker-compose ps to list running services
• docker-compose up --build if you made changes to the compose or dockerfiles and need it built into a new image.
• docker-compose build --no-cache if you made changes to specific files and docker does not recognize as new thereby reusing cached layers incorrectly. This takes about 3 minutes on a gaming pc with 0 docker tuning.
• compose.yml determines service names and which ports are bound to your host. By default front=8080 back=5006.
• Once up navigate to http://localhost:8080/.
• docker-compose stop stops all services

Frontend - React

There's also a React JavaScript web app that has +3 more features than the vue app.

• shows all available data on one site/table
• you can sort the data by clicking the header name, if you want see what ticker had the most 5d Change for example
• the tickername is a direct link to the tradeview overview site for the ticker if you find a ticker interesting and want to analyse it

Local usage

Start the local server. This server will generate the csv files if they don't already exist.

cd back
python wsgi.py

Then, launch the client

cd react-front
cp .env.example .env
npm install
npm start

You can change the env variables if you need to

No Docker solution for the react app.

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}
