Stock Price Alert
Create a workflow that triggers daily, checking specific stock prices via Alpha Vantage. If the price exceeds a certain threshold, send a notification email through Gmail or SMS via Twilio, allowing for timely investment decisions.
Forex Rate Tracker
Set up a workflow that polls currency exchange rates at regular intervals. Store this data in a Google Sheet for analysis or use Pipedream's built-in data store for historical tracking. Use this data to inform purchasing decisions or trigger alerts when rates are favorable.
Cryptocurrency Portfolio Dashboard
Construct a workflow that aggregates your cryptocurrency holdings data from Alpha Vantage. Pipe this data into a custom dashboard on platforms like Geckoboard or a visualization tool like Tableau for a real-time overview of your portfolio’s performance.
Alpha Vantage uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Alpha Vantage account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Alpha Vantage APIs in both code and no-code steps.
