Alright, now that we are done with the necessary CYA, let's go straight over to the usage instructions of the script.
Please install required packages and follow the instructions. Check example.py for an example of how this script may be implemented.
- Python 3.8 is the version the script was built for, it may work on earlier versions as well.
- Sms and WhatsApp communication require account at Twilio.
- Install missing packages from requirements.txt file.
At the moment these are the communication methods available, you are more than welcome to use more than one.
| Communication Method | Code |
|---|---|
'mail' |
|
| Gmail | 'gmail' |
'wapp' |
|
| SMS | 'sms' |
-
Follow the instructions written inside the example.env and create a brand new .env file.
-
Choose a paper from Israeli Bursa to follow, the paper's ID should be inserted as a string argument of a Paper object.
-
Example:
If we would like to follow
תכלית - MSCI World - 5124573, we will create a new object and pass the paper's ID as a string.paper1 = Paper('5124573')

The program provides 2 methods to trigger an update, by daily percentage change or by a points rate change.
-
For a percentage change update put a percentage target. Percentage target could be either a rise or decrease in value (i.e: -0.3% or 6%). If you would like to recieve daily mail regardless of any change, just type "0".
- Example:
paper1 = Paper('5124573') signaler.send_percentage_change(paper1, -4.7, 'wapp')
The code above will send us an update by WhatsApp every time the paper's daily percentage rate drops by -4.7%.
- Example:
-
For a points rate change update put a desired rate target. For a change above target points rate type
True, for a change below target points rate typeFalse.- Example:
paper1 = Paper('5124573') signaler.send_rate_change(paper1, 1500, True, 'gmail')
The code above will send us an update by Gmail every time the paper points rate is above 1500.

Kindly note that a preffered communication method code should be typed into the 'communicate' argument regardless of the method chosen.
Sending multiple requests during a short period of time is not respectful to the good people at Bizportal. Please abstain from abusing this code and use it as Peter Parker's Uncle would suggest.
