Simple Slack bot that posts stock prices. It can be build as an RTM Slack bot, or a slash command bot that loads into aws lambda
go get -t -d github.com/thorfour/stocktopus/...
make aws
make gcp
make rtm
bin/aws or bin/gcp which will contain the binary and the zip file of the nodejs handler and binary.
bin/rtm for the rtm client
./stocktopus [slack-bot-token]
or for aws
upload the stocktopus.zip file in /bin/aws as a lambda function
or for gcp
upload the stocktopus.zip file in bin/gcp as a cloud function
The RTM bot will look for any direct messages sent to it and try to pase them as tickers, and respond with stock quotes.
@stockbotname GOOGL
The aws slash command will respond to slash commands. Single tickers will be a quote and inline graph.
/stocktopus GOOGL
for a complete list of commands the bot supports.
/stocktopus help
In addition to what is covered in the help menu, stocktopus also supports team-wide watchlists. To utilize these you use the same format as you would for your personal watch list but simple add a name after a # character immediately after the command.
For example:
/stocktopus watch #funlist GOOG
Would add GOOG to a watch list called funlist, and then anyone in your Slack team can access that same list Ex. /stocktopus list #funlist
You might also want to watch/buy or lookup securities listed on non-US exchanges. To do so simply add the exchange followed by a colon(:) before the ticker name.
Ex. /stocktopus tse:are to list the ARE stock from the Toronto Stock Exchange
Data provided for free by IEX
Stocktopus does not collect any personal identifying information. It does not store a history of your requests. The only data it does store is a unique ID received from Slack for a user if they opt to use the list or play money features. If you use the list or play money features it also stores the list of stocks a user has bought or added to their watch list.
