tesla-stock-tracker-UPDATED-DAILY-9-30-AM

This project tracks Tesla stock data and news, generating a daily chart and updating the README.md automatically via GitHub Actions.

Setup and Usage

Running Locally

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/tesla-stock-tracker.git
   cd tesla-stock-tracker

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. API Keys (Optional - for live data):

   By default, the project uses static data files (data/tesla_stock_data.csv and news/tesla_news.json) included in the repository, allowing it to run out-of-the-box without any API keys.

   To fetch live stock data from Alpha Vantage and live news from Google Custom Search, you'll need to obtain free API keys:

   • Alpha Vantage: Get your free API key
   • Google Custom Search: Get your API key and Custom Search Engine ID (CX)

   Once you have your keys, set them as environment variables (e.g., in your shell or a .env file that you don't commit to Git):

   export ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY="YOUR_ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY"
   export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
   export GOOGLE_CX="YOUR_GOOGLE_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID"

4. Run the scripts:

   python fetch_data.py
   python plot_chart.py
   python fetch_news.py
   python update_readme.py

GitHub Actions Workflow (for automated daily updates)

For automated daily updates on GitHub, you need to set your API keys as GitHub Secrets in your repository settings:

1. Go to your repository on GitHub.

2. Navigate to Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions.

3. Add the following secrets:

   • ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY
   • GOOGLE_API_KEY
   • GOOGLE_CX

   The workflow .github/workflows/daily_update.yml will then use these secrets to fetch live data and update the README.md automatically.
