get_price_toolLABSCO SUMMARY
A live price in the conversation instead of a remembered one.
It closes the gap that makes assistants useless for markets: the number comes from Yahoo Finance at the moment you ask, and the news for the same ticker arrives beside it to explain the move.
What it is
A two-call server over yfinance: the price of a ticker across a period you choose, and the recent news for it. Stocks and cryptocurrencies go through the same calls - AAPL and BTC-USD are both just tickers.
What you get
- The price of a ticker over a period you name - a day, five days, a month - defaulting to one day
- Recent news articles for a ticker, five by default and as many as you ask for
- Stocks and cryptocurrencies through the same two calls, by ticker or alias
Requirements
Docker: clone the repository and build the image, then your client runs it. No account and no key - it reads public Yahoo Finance data.
Setup effort
Run a container — build the image from the repository, then point your client at it
USE CASES
01
Checking where something is trading right now
Name the ticker and take the default one-day period - a price, not a recollection.
02
Explaining why a position moved
Pull the price over the last five days and the recent headlines for the same ticker together.
03
Running a morning look at a watchlist
Ask for each ticker's price over the period you care about, stocks and crypto in the same pass.
04
Catching up on a company before a call
Ask for more than the default five articles, so the recent picture is fuller than one headline.
