Inspiration
Our inspiration for this project came from being able to utilize existing data on the internet to analyze whether certain stocks are good for purchase/sale. Getting involved in the stock market, is always beneficial for all age groups, and our application aims to get people into investing in the stock market so they can learn how to better manage their money.
What it does
This web application mainly provides users an interface through which they can analyze sentiment of any stock and purchase/sell them if they wish to.
How we built it
We built the backend component of this project using Python and the API endpoints with Flask. The frontend UI was built with React, and we utilized Firebase for the database solution.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into challenges when trying to send API requests , but were ultimately able to pull through and successfully connect all the endpoints
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have a fully connected user authenticated frontend+backend application which is capable of serving multiple users. We analyzed sentiment for over 20+ company stocks with over 100,000+ rows of social media data!
What we learned
Learned a lot about integrating the frontend with the backend.
What's next for Stock Port
Our next step would be looking towards deployment of the frontend and backend components
