A virtual trading web app that uses real time data pulled from the IEX Cloud API. Users can:
- Register for an account
- Get a stock quote
- Buy/sell stocks
- View their stock profile
User profiles are stored in a database managed on PostgreSQL and the web application is hosted on Heroku.
The dynamic web app was built with Python, using the Flask framework. SQL was used to store the databases of registered users and all stock purchases/sells. HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap were used for the frontend to style the user interface. IEX Cloud was the platform used to gather real time financial data through their API.
