Currently supported brokers are:

• Interactive Brokers (https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/home.php)
• Coinbase (https://www.coinbase.com)
• IG UK (https://www.ig.com/uk)
• Fixed portfolio tracking using yahoo finance

Dependencies

All of the scripts are written in python3. To install python3 follow: https://realpython.com/installing-python/

You'll need to install the following libraries for these scripts. To install a library use: python3 -m pip install library

• selenium (used for browser automation)
• yahoo_fin
• coinbase (only needed for coinbase)

Additionally for selenium you'll need to install firefox browser drivers: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

Overall Setup

Each broker has its own folder which has the following files:

• fetch_latest.py : Use python3 fetch_latest.py to fetch the latest price and print it to terminal.
• config_sample.json : Sample of the config file needed to fetch the price. Copy it to config.json and replace the config with actual secrets. Remember not to commit config.json (It's already in .gitignore)
• README.md : Broker specific instructions to setup the config

Setting up the ticker in production

• You'll need to configure the script for each broker you use. If your broker is not in the supported list, please consider adding support for it and contributing to this repo.
• Choose a DB and configure scripts to write the value to the DB instead of printing it. AWS Dynamo DB might be a good choice. This is not natively supported in this repo yet.
• Configure a machine to run these scripts periodically. AWS EC2 might be a good choice.
• Configure aggregation of this data. This can be done via another script which periodically reads from the DB or you can use stream processing.
