Stock Portfolio

For our hackathon project, we decided to create a portfolio tracker that would allow the user to enter a stock ticker and the amount of shares they currently own in that company.

Our team became interested in the stock market over quarantine and decided to make an app related to it

Our website is created with the Django framework and coded using html, python, and bulma.io css. Additionally, we used the finnhub.io stock market api to display data in json formatting, allowing us to parse through it in real time. We created objects for each stock and displayed attributes such as price/share, amount of shares, and total price. Finally the program would calculate the sum of all of the stocks and return the total value of the users stock portfolio.

We initially created the website using vanilla JavaScript but decided that the functionality of the website was too simple as it didn't have a back-end.

We finished this project in less than 2 days

We learned how to use Django framework and implement python in back-end development

We would like to expand it by adding graphs and sliders
