The Marketstack API provides access to real-time, intraday, and historical stock prices from various global stock exchanges. In Pipedream, you can harness this data to create powerful workflows: trigger actions based on stock price movements, log data for analysis, or integrate with other financial services. It's a tool for financial analysts, investors, and anyone needing stock market data for their applications.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
marketstack: {
type: "app",
app: "marketstack",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `http://api.marketstack.com/v1/tickers`,
params: {
access_key: `${this.marketstack.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Automated Stock Alerting System: Create a workflow on Pipedream that monitors specific stocks using the Marketstack API. When a stock hits a certain threshold, trigger an alert via email, SMS, or push notification using integrated services like SendGrid, Twilio, or Pushover.
Daily Portfolio Summary: Set up a Pipedream daily cron job that fetches the closing prices of your portfolio stocks from Marketstack. Then, compile a report and send it to your preferred communication app, whether that's Slack, Discord, or Email, to keep track of your investments' performance.
Market Movement Dashboard Sync: Use Marketstack to fuel a live dashboard that tracks the markets. Connect to Google Sheets or a database service like PostgreSQL on Pipedream to record data points throughout the day. Use this data to visualize trends and inform your trading decisions.
Marketstack uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Marketstack account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Marketstack APIs in both code and no-code steps.
Sign in and copy your API key directly from your dashboard.
