I wrote a python script to get stock market current and history information based on Google finance API. Here I am going to explain about that.
How to setup
- Download GetStockInfo.py into /usr/local/bin folder as stockinfo
- chmod +x /usr/local/bin/stockinfo
- Run [stockinfo]{.title-ref} as command from anywhere in your terminal
- I create alias command with different stock list and get info whenever I want
wget --no-check-certificate https://gist.github.com/arulrajnet/cb1476234967717a4d6d/raw/GetStockInfo.py
chmod +x GetStockInfo.py
sudo cp GetStockInfo.py /usr/local/bin/stockinfo
To get given stock current and history information
stockinfo -s NASDAQ:AAPL,NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:MSFT,INDEXBOM:SENSEX -i 7d,1m,1y
Instead of you can use
python GetStockInfo.py -s NASDAQ:AAPL,NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:MSFT,INDEXBOM:SENSEX -i 7d,1m,1y
To get given stock current information
stockinfo -s NASDAQ:AAPL,NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:MSFT,INDEXBOM:SENSEX
To get default stock current information
stockinfo
To get default stock current and history information
stockinfo -i 7d,1m
