Automated Stock Data Retrieval (Python)

💡 Why Use This Automated Stock Data Template

To facilitate the work of financial analysts and investment managers, the system automatically retrieves specific stock information daily based on your settings and saves it to a database. This allows you to easily track and analyze stock trends, save time, and improve investment decisions.

👉 How the Template Works

This template includes two key resources:

• Stock automation: This automation node retrieves specified stock information daily and writes it to a database. You can adjust the trigger time and stock codes according to your needs.
• Stock Data: This is a database that stores stock information. You can view and manage the retrieved stock information here.

🎯 Usage Steps

1. Install Template Log in to the Bika platform and install the "Automated Stock Data Retrieval (Python)" template

2. Complete Initialization Follow the system prompts to complete initialization tasks. This template uses the Alpha Vantage API to retrieve stock information. You'll need to first apply for an API key at Alpha Vantage's website, which is free.

   

3. Adjust Automation Settings Enter the Stock automation task editing interface to modify trigger conditions and actions. If not set, it defaults to sending reminders at 5 PM daily.

   Click the trigger to set reminder times in "Trigger Conditions."

   

   

   During configuration, replace the APIKEY in the example with your Alpha Vantage API key. You can also adjust the stock code (default is AABA) as needed.

   

   

4. Test Automation Task (Send Stock Information) The Stock automation task is enabled by default. You can check for successful reminder notifications at 5 PM daily. After configuring the APIKEY and stock code, you can click "Run Now" to test if data is received.

   

5. View Submitted Stock Data All retrieved stock information is stored in the Stock Data database, which you can view and manage anytime.
