MyFinance is a web application where users can buy and sell stocks.
This app was a final project for CS50 course. Parts of code were provided from the course. The code I wrote is labeled as so.
MyFinance is a Flask app that allows users to register an account and manage their stock porfolio. The app provides a front-end facing platform for users to log in/out, look up a current stock quote, buy/sell stocks, view a history of transactions, and deposit a cash balance. Stock quote data was provided by IEX via IEX's stocks API.
register allows users to register their account using a HTML form. The form collects username and password from the userand loads the username
and password hash into a sqlite database.
quote allows users to look up the current price of a stock. The route queries the IEX API for a current quote and displays it to the user.
buy allows users to buy stocks using a HTML form. The form collects the stock name and amount from user and updates their portfolio in the database.
index is the homepage for logged-in users; it displays a table of their current portfolio and their cash balance.
sell allows users to buy stocks using a HTML form. The form collects the stock name and amount from user and updates their portfolio in the database.
history allows users to access a list of all transactions they have made thus far. It queries the sqlite database to fetch this data in an
updated fashion.
deposit allows users to deposit a cash balance using a HTML form. The form collects the dollar amount (USD) and updates the user's portfolio in the database.
Before running the app, be sure to register on IEX for an API key. Then, in AWE's IDE terminal, run
export API_KEY=value
where value is your API key.
To run the app, execute
flask run
in the terminal and go to the URL provided by Flask as the output.
