This project is a simple stock market analyzer that presents users with five (5) metrics when presenting the selected stock back to the user. The metrics that will be presented are the current high, lows, EPS (earnings per share), P/E (price/earnings ratio), adn ROE (return on equity) at the time of the market opening.

Simply speaking, the basic overview of this project is that present users with the current, up-to-date metrics for the stock market.

The use of APIs throughout the project to gather real-time data is something I wanted to showcase with this project. I plan to use two APIs in this project, an API to retrieve the metrics that will be outputted to the user and an API to automate and update the program with the latest data available at the start of each day/when the stock market opens.

This project will be developed in python to practice webscraping and data mining. In future development of the application, implemenation plans will be in C++ to provide faster compiling time.

Future features that I plan to add to this project is a front-end user interface that will allow users to search for stocks with this analyzing tool. Planning to develop the front-end of the application with ReactJS. Another feature I plan to add is a back-end component that will connect the data scraped to the front end of the application.
