Stock Collector

ABANDONED AFTER YAHOO SHUTDOWN THEIR API

Downloads available real time data for a set of instruments and stores it in a Mongo database

The program collects realtime data with predefined intervals. It also stores metadata to make it easier to detect gaps in data due to failures. The metadata displays the data as continuous and complete as long as either the data was successfully downloaded or there was no available data (due to markets being closed).
