Install

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arulrajnet/stockinfo-cli/main/stockinfo.py | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/stockinfo
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/stockinfo

Examples

By default it will get indian stock market index stocks

stockinfo

To get the high and low value for different intervals

stockinfo -i 5d,1m,3m,1y

To get for different stocks

stockinfo -s META,AAPL,AMZN,NFLX,GOOG

Why this?

Every month I buy a Index mutual fund. I want to buy that on a best day in last 30 days. The high and low value information of index stocks on different intervals gives the data to take decision.

These are points in my mind while writing this

• Very simple tool to give current value and high and low value for different interval
• No more external module dependencies
• Works with Python3 only

Some background

Earlier I used these scrips which are depends on Google Finance API. Those are stopped working because of google pulled the plug.

GetStockInfo.py

stockmarketindia.py

This repo is using Yahoo Finance API 😃 I heard your voice, refer for alternatives for the future.

Tips

Create alias for different stocks

For example

alias stockfaang="stockinfo -s META,AAPL,AMZN,NFLX,GOOG"
alias stockindia="stockinfo -s %5EBSESN,%5ENSEI"
