@Jalibu

Cool.

I pushed a newer version with a few improvements:

New feature: Daily sum (depot growth)
Improvement: Better handling of API calls when there are more than 5 stocks in the ticker (the free API limit is 5 request per minute)
Improvement: Nicer rendering of stocks with (yet) unknown value

I renamed some config properties. As this is a breaking change to the older version, please read the Readme file.

@Jalibu I would really like to see this working in my mirror! so far I have had no luck getting data from Alpha avantage. Is there a way to test and see what data is returned? or maybe what error code comes back? The ticker itself is running well with 15 stocks in it but no values are showing. I went back and used your sample config code and still no values returned. Your thoughts?
Here is what i used for my code:

		{
	module: "MMM-Jast",
	position: "bottom_bar",
	config: {
		updateIntervalInSeconds: 1800,
		fadeSpeedInSeconds: 3.5,	
			stocks: [
			{ name: "Amazon", symbol: "AMZN" },
			{ name: "Disney", symbol: "DIS" },
			{ name: "Ford", symbol: "F" },
			{ name: "Starbucks", symbol: "SBUX" },
			{ name: "JD.com", symbol: "JD" },
			{ name: "Microsoft", symbol: "MSFT" },
			{ name: "Verizon", symbol: "VZ" },
			{ name: "Phizer", symbol: "PFE" },
			{ name: "Intuit", symbol: "INTU" },
			{ name: "Zinga", symbol: "ZNGA" },
			{ name: "Cognex", symbol: "CGNX" },
			{ name: "Fortnet", symbol: "FTNT" },
			{ name: "Ilumina", symbol: "ILMN" },
			{ name: "KinderMorgen", symbol: "KMI" },
			{ name: "NewBev", symbol: "NBEV" },
			{ name: "Neptune", symbol: "NEPT" },
			{ name: "Alibaba", symbol: "BABA", tradeCurrency: "USD", displayCurrency: "USD" },
		],
				defaultCurrency: "USD",
				apiKey: "My_API_KEY_HERE",
				scroll: "horizontal", //"<none, vertical, horizontal>"
				maxWidth: "100%",
				showDepotGrowth: true
	}
},

@popeye2002 open the developers window, (f12 or ctrl-shift-i), select the tab labeled console,
enter jast in the filter field and look for any errors (usually red text)

AlphaVantage is very protective of their api, and will reject calls too soon from last one

@sdetweil Thank you sam… I’m learning all the time. well nothing was red with a search for jast.
But, I learned a little more about how to troubleshoot!

@popeye2002 ok, how did u start MM??? pm2 or npm start

if pm2
then do

pm2  logs --lines=100

the module says it puts out messages
console.log(“Sending Stock result:”, { symbol, current, last });

my guess is based on the node_helper design, that AlphaVantage has rejected the requests as too frequent…
(as it does one request per stock)
you should see the errors in the pm2 log (or terminal window if npm start)

    config.stocks.forEach((stock) => {
      if (!stock.lastUpdate || Date.now() - stock.lastUpdate >= config.updateIntervalInSeconds * 1000) {
        const url = `${config.baseURL}query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&outputsize=compact&apikey=${config.apiKey}&symbol=${stock.symbol}`;
        request(url, { json: true }, (err, res, body) => {

it should do ALL stocks in one request

AlphaVantage also only does NYSE, nasdaq requires a separate api from a different provider

@sdetweil Gosh, I’m not having much luck. I’m in well over my head but the desire to succede keeps me going. I don’t know how i start my mirror… kinda dumb but it auto starts. I mean dumb that i don’t know pm2 or not.
I made an error when i installed the module and ran the npm install from the incorrect directory… do you think that would have caused errors? I immeadiately went and ran npm install from the correct directory but perhaps some damage was already done?

@popeye2002 Is there a working stock ticker module out there?
