Stock Price Alert System

Description

The Stock Price Alert System is a Python application that monitors the stock price of a specified company and sends an email alert if the percentage change in the stock price exceeds a defined threshold. The program fetches real-time stock price data and recent news articles related to the company, then sends an email containing the stock price change information and news updates.

Features

• Monitors stock price changes at a specified interval.
• Fetches recent news articles related to the company if significant price changes are detected.
• Sends an email alert with the stock price information and news articles if the price change exceeds the defined threshold.

Technologies Used

• Python: Programming language used for the application.
• Requests: For making HTTP requests to fetch stock and news data.
• Email: For sending email alerts.
• Alpha Vantage API: Provides real-time stock price data.
• News API: Provides recent news articles related to the company.

How It Works

• Fetch Stock Data: The program retrieves real-time stock price data from Alpha Vantage for a specified stock symbol.
• Calculate Price Change: It calculates the percentage change in the stock price between the latest and previous timestamps.
• Check Threshold: If the percentage change exceeds the defined threshold, the program fetches recent news articles related to the company.
• Send Email Alert: An email is composed and sent with the stock price information and news articles if the threshold is exceeded.
• Outputt: The program prints the email content for testing purposes and notifies if the percentage change is within the acceptable range.
