I mean, that’s cool, but how does it connect to Streamlit? :slight_smile:

lol. :laughing: That’s a very valid question.

This module is a packaged version of a script that I’ve been using to compile market data feeding the dashboard embedded in the Streamlit application listed below. Discussions that originated in this forum prompted me to package up my code and publish it. The equities were originally categorized by sector and industry using a list I compiled from the SEC and it needed some improvement. In the process of prepping the module for publishing, I rebuilt the list of equities included in my database using new sources, cleaned up sector & industry segmentation and added another 1000+ equities to script that I use to update this dashboard everyday.

It made sense to package everything up in the process of updating everything. Figured I would share it with the community. Considering that its a live feed with real-time updates, a motivated person could potentially compile price updates through out the day if they really wanted to.

Anyway, I appreciate the feedback. I hope you enjoy the rest of the day and have a good weekend! :+1:

It’s not important, but the equities with multiple lines in the video above are not the same investments.
