[MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker (new: version 2.x)

Jalibu

Thank you for your feedback and ideas for improvement.

Do I understand your feature requests correctly?

You want a way to explicitly change the name of the portfolio to e.g. “my money pot:”?
Would you like a way to add a fixed value of money to the calculated portfolio assets consisting of shares?
portfolioValue = extraMoney + calculatedPortfolioValueBasedOnSpecifiedShares

Technically this is possible.
However, unfortunately I don’t have the time to fulfill new requests at the moment due to other projects.

But I am always happy to receive pull requests or small motivating donations.

Dear fans and users of this module,

unfortunately Yahoo has switched off the Stock API in its previous form. The module is therefore currently unable to retrieve data (an error appears in the log).

The author of the library that Jast uses to retrieve data from Yahoo is working on a solution. At the moment, however, it is unclear whether there will/can be one.

I will monitor the progress of the development and keep you informed.

I am sorry that there is nothing else I can do at the moment but wait and see.

Jalibu

Update: The issue was fixed.

Please read the version’s release notes for instructions for updating this module.

@Jalibu Thank you for making the change to resolve the API format modification made by Yahoo. My timing was perfect. I was diagnosing the issue on my mirror when you updated your changes. They are working perfectly. Appreciate it.

I had tried to install MMM-Jast module several times but always get this error:
I run Magic Mirror on Raspberry Pi2B . Is this a problem?

@leonids you need to increase the swap space size

and maybe the heap size

for the heap size in config.js before the
modules:[

add

electronSwitches:{ "js-flags": "--max-old-space-size=8192"},

that will allocate 8 Meg of heap. you can make it bigger…

make sure you increase the swap space

I’ll leave that to a Google search for you

Thanks,
I have tried both of these things and nothing helped :(

@sdetweil
I have doubled swap space and added heap settings in config.js but it did not change anything, Still same crash as before

Maybe 1G RAM is too small for this program?

@leonids ok it’s something else

Jalibu

@leonids do you get this error during module installation or during runtime?

leonids

@Jalibu
I get error when I try “npm install” from MMM-JaST directory

Jalibu

This post is deleted!

Jalibu

@leonids yes, I guess 1G RAM is not enough.

Hello @Jalibu ,

many thanks for this great module.

I lately upgrade the module to get rid of the Yahoo crumb error, but I still get an error like:

1|mm | [07.05.2024 09:04.57.536] [WARN]
1|mm | API request for MSFT failed: request to https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v10/finance/quoteSummary/MSFT?formatted=false&modules=price&crumb=EIJ.XkWSxQd failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED 0.0.0.0:443

Any idea on how to fix this ?

Many thanks

Clas

@Askedal
have you tried to delete and re-clone the module with a fresh npm install?

Askedal

Hi @Jalibu,

yes, I did a uninstall, wiped the directory and then re-cloned the module, but the error is still the same.

Thanks
Clas

@Askedal please open an issue on GitHub and provide all the information asked.

@Jalibu I figured it out, I put in the query2.yahoo… page in my pihole blacklist several years ago. After taking it out it worked for some time.

Now it works from time to time, when it is not working I see these errors in the log:

[14.05.2024 22:45.58.221] [WARN] API request for MSFT failed: request to https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL failed, reason: connect ENETUNREACH 87.248.119.252:443 - Local (0.0.0.0:0)

I have MSFT (Microsoft) in my list, but not AAPL (Apple), so I don’t know where the error is coming from.

Many thanks for your help

@Jalibu What information do you need ? I don’t see any description in GitHub what should be provided when opening an issue. Does MMM-Jast writing a special log or so ?
