AlphaVantage Stock Data

Get real-time stock market information directly into your Nappai dashboard using this component. It fetches data from Alpha Vantage, a popular financial data provider.

Relationship with Alpha Vantage API

This component connects to the Alpha Vantage API to retrieve various types of stock market information. You’ll need an Alpha Vantage API key to use this component. This key is securely managed within Nappai.

Inputs

  • Information to request: Choose the type of financial information you want (e.g., stock price, company overview). Several pre-defined options will be available. The default is “Ticker Info”.
  • Input: Enter the stock symbol (ticker) you’re interested in (e.g., AAPL for Apple, MSFT for Microsoft). You can also enter multiple tickers, one per line.
  • Credential: This input is automatically handled by Nappai. You only need to configure your Alpha Vantage API key once in your Nappai settings.

Outputs

The component returns a list of data points for each stock symbol you entered. Each data point will include a summary of the relevant financial information. This information can then be used by other components in your Nappai workflow to create reports, visualizations, or trigger other actions.

Usage Example

Let’s say you want to get the current price of Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG).

  1. In the Nappai dashboard, add the “AlphaVantage Stock Data” component to your workflow.
  2. In the “Information to request” dropdown, select “Ticker Info” (or another relevant option).
  3. In the “Input” field, type AAPL on the first line and GOOG on the second line.
  4. The component will fetch the data and make it available for use by other components in your workflow (e.g., to display the data on a chart or in a table).

Templates

This component can be used in any Nappai workflow template. Its configuration will be visible within the template editor.

  • Google Sheet Writer: Write the stock data directly to a Google Sheet for further analysis or reporting.
  • Charting Component (if available in Nappai): Create a visual representation of the stock data.
  • AI Filter: Filter the stock data based on specific criteria (e.g., show only stocks above a certain price).
  • Summarizer: Summarize the stock data into a concise report.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Ensure you have a valid Alpha Vantage API key configured in your Nappai settings.
  • Start with simple requests to understand the output format.
  • Use multiple components to process and visualize the data effectively.

Security Considerations

Your Alpha Vantage API key is securely stored within Nappai. Do not share your API key outside of the Nappai system. Nappai employs security measures to protect your credentials.
