Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

About The Project

I created this project to easily query the IEX Cloud database of stock information for my own use. I originally started by looking for packages that already offered this and there was none that was updated. I then created this package to allow for a much more streamlined approach to do this.

Built With

Getting Started

To get started with using this package follow these steps.

Prerequisites

You need to have the latest version of NPM for this project to work.

  • npm
npm install npm@latest -g

Installation

  1. Clone the Stock-Finder
git clone https://github.com/austinmccalley/Stock-Finder.git
  1. Install NPM packages
npm install
  1. Build JS File
tsc

Usage

Here is a code sample of how to do a simple request for $TSLA stock information using the package with the getStock() function.

const stockFinder = require('stockfinder');

/*
  Declare the Stock Finder with
  the parameters you want
*/
const sf = new stockFinder('stable', 'TSLA', apiKey, false);

/*
  Call the get stock function and then wait
  for the promise to return
*/
sf.getStock().then(res => {
  console.log(res)
});

If you want to get multiple stocks you will use the getStocks() function.

const stockFinder = require('stockfinder');

/*
  Declare the Stock Finder with
  the parameters you want
*/
const sf = new stockFinder('stable', ['TSLA','AAPL'], apiKey, false);

/*
  Call the get stocks function and then wait
  for the promise to return
*/
sf.getStocks().then(res => {
  console.log(res)
});

Note

Sometimes IEX Cloud has issues with normal requests, you can switch to using a CURL request instead by following the example.

const stockFinder = require('stockfinder');

/*
  Declare the Stock Finder with
  the parameters you want
*/
const sf = new stockFinder('stable', 'TSLA', apiKey, true);

/*
  Call the get stock function and then wait
  for the promise to return
*/
sf.getStock().then(res => {
  console.log(res)
});
