Track stock market information right in your Terminal.


    Introduction:

As a developer, I love working with the terminal. The plain, simple, and in my opinion the best way to interact with the computer (also it makes you look geeky).

I spent most of my time in the terminal. By now you must have guessed I am a huge fan of the terminal and terminal-based applications.

Recently I developed an interest in stock markets and started tracking the stock markets. Since I love working with the terminal I decided to build a terminal oriented application that can help me to track the stock market.

Inspired by wttr.in I build terminal-stocks which can provide the stock's current prices, historical prices, and global market summary.

How to use terminal-stocks

terminal-stocks is available and can be used without installation.

curl terminal-stocks.dev/ITC.NS

Current price of stocks

You need to provide the ticker of the stock and terminal-stocks will give you the price information of the stock. terminal-stocks uses yahoo finance’s ticker to fetch stock information.

2. Get the historical prices of a stock.

curl terminal-stocks.dev/historical/ITC.NS

Historical prices

This will give the 10 entries. To fetch more you can get it by providing page parameters like below.

curl terminal-stocks.dev/historical/ITC.NS?page=2

3. Get the global market summary right in your terminal.

curl terminal-stocks.dev/market-summary

Global market summary

More and more features will be added going forward.

How to use terminal-stocks as CLI

If you want to use terminal-stocks as a cli tool, you are lucky, terminal-stocks comes with cli as well. You can install terminal-stocks in windows/ubuntu/mac and use it.

npm install terminal-stocks -g

2. Get the price information of stock

terminal-stocks -t ITC.NS

3. Get the historical price information of stock

terminal-stocks -t ITC.NS --historical

4. Get the market summary

terminal-stocks --market

5. Export as JSON or CSV

terminal-stocks --market --json // as a jsonterminal-stocks --ticker ITC.NS --csv // as a csv

Roadmap

terminal-stocks is still in development and need a lot of improvements and feature development.

Terraform accessing data from maps and list in the variable

In this post, we will discuss a use case where we want to access the variable value which is part of the list or the map. let’s try to understand the use case with an example: resource "aws_instance" "myec2" { ami = "ami-082b5a644766e0e6f" instance_type = <INSTANCE_TYPE> } variable "list" { type = list default = ["t2.nano", "t2.micro", "t2.medium"] } variable "types" { type = map default = { dev = "t2.nano", int = "t2.micro", prod = "t2.medium" }, } here we want to assign a value for the instance_type from either variable list or from variable types. Variable list is a list type and variable type is a map type. First, let’s use the list variable. To access the value from the list variable we will use the position. We want to assign let’s say t2.micro in that case we want position 1. resource "aws_instance...
