Simple Stock Bots
About
Simple Stock Bots is a family of messaging bots that aim to provide simple interface to stock market information. Currently there are only Telegram and Discord Bots.
Getting Started
The bots can either be added to a server or can be direct messaged for the exact same functionality. Links for each platform are below:
Alternatively, this project is completely open source and instructions on how to run your own instance of the bot are provided on each of the bots pages. Hosting
Usage
The bots are nearly identical between platforms, but sometimes a platform will have a feature that only it supports such as Telegrams inline messaging or Discords embeds.
Automatic
Anytime the Bot is in your chat it will search all chats for $
followed by a ticker. For example $tsla
will return the following message for Tesla Motors:
The current stock price of Tesla Inc. is $321.35, the stock is currently up 2.7%
This works no matter where the ticker is in the message and you can have as many tickers as you want in the same message. For example:
I wonder how $aapl, $nflx, and $sono are performing today.
Will return:
Universal Commands
- /dividend
$[symbol]
will return dividend information for the symbol. - /news
$[symbol]
will return news about the symbol. - /info
$[symbol]
will return general information about the symbol. - /search
query
Takes a search string, whether a company name or ticker and returns a list of companies that are supported by the bot.
