PRICEIT

Author: David WANG

Version 0.0.3

To extract realtime or history price data of stocks or crypto currencies. (Please note this package is based on free API (e.g. Yahoo Finance). There may be a little time lag (seconds or minutes) for some market.)

Installation:

pip install priceit

Usage:

(1) To get realtime TSLA price

from priceit import *

ticker ='TSLA'
print(getprice(ticker))

Result:

['TSLA', 1049.61, 'Delayed Quote', '2022-01-14 16:00:04']

(Sample above is taken during weekend, when the market is close. So it shows 'Delayed Quote'. Try this when market is open, and you can get realtime quote (almost realtime). Please allow seconds or minutes time lag for certain market.)

(2) To get history daily price of BTC-USD from 2022-01-12 to 2022-01-14

from priceit import *

ticker = 'BTC-USD'
startdate = '2022-01-12'
enddate = '2022-01-14'
print(histprice(ticker,startdate,enddate))

Result:

{'currency': 'USD', 'symbol': 'BTC-USD', 'exchangeName': 'CCC', 'data': {'timestamp': ['2022-01-12', '2022-01-13', '2022-01-14'], 'volume': [33499938689, 47691135082, 23577403399], 'high': [44135.3671875, 44278.421875, 43346.6875], 'low': [42528.98828125, 42447.04296875, 41982.6171875], 'close': [43949.1015625, 42591.5703125, 43099.69921875], 'open': [42742.1796875, 43946.7421875, 42598.87109375], 'adjclose': [43949.1015625, 42591.5703125, 43099.69921875]}}

Notes:

• This project is being built up. More functions will be added.
• If to get realtime price, please limit your frequency of data extraction. We should cherish the free resources, like Yahoo Finance.
