1
00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:02,310
In the first part of the solution,

2
00:00:02,340 --> 00:00:07,340
we managed to get our code to pull in the live stock data for the selected

3
00:00:08,180 --> 00:00:09,020
stock name.

4
00:00:09,740 --> 00:00:14,270
And then we looked at the difference in price between yesterday and the day

5
00:00:14,270 --> 00:00:18,140
before yesterday and then we worked out the percentage difference.

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,760
Now we have this if statement which will print get news

7
00:00:23,090 --> 00:00:27,560
if the percentage difference is greater than a specified amount.

8
00:00:28,130 --> 00:00:31,760
Now, I've put right five here, just because ideally,

9
00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:33,980
if you were monitoring a particular stock,

10
00:00:34,220 --> 00:00:37,880
you'd probably only be interested if it changed by a large amount,

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,800
like 5 or 10 or 50% set by you. But at the moment,

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,780
because we're testing these things and the Tesla stock is only moved by one

13
00:00:47,780 --> 00:00:51,710
point something percent, then this is actually never going to be true.

14
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,030
So I'm going to manually adjust this down so that we can continue working with

15
00:00:56,030 --> 00:01:00,770
the rest of the challenge. So now onto step two of the challenge,

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,459
the first part is instead of printing get news,

17
00:01:04,670 --> 00:01:08,960
we're going to use the news API to get articles related to

18
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:13,820
the company name. The news API is newsapi.org.

19
00:01:14,540 --> 00:01:17,780
And we can start by getting hold of an API key.

20
00:01:18,590 --> 00:01:21,740
Once you signed up, you should get a free API key

21
00:01:21,860 --> 00:01:25,580
and we're going to paste that into our project.

22
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:31,550
Now we can start looking through the documentation and seeing how we can use

23
00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:32,990
this news API.

24
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:39,010
There's a number of end points as we can see. There's top headlines and also

25
00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:41,810
everything. These are the two main end points.

26
00:01:42,470 --> 00:01:46,250
Now everything is better for article discovery

27
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:50,990
whereas the headlines tend to only have a limited number of headlines.

28
00:01:51,530 --> 00:01:53,300
I've tested both of these

29
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,360
and I found that the everything one is more likely to give us a news piece for

30
00:01:58,670 --> 00:02:03,260
stocks that we're looking for. Because very often a lot of these companies and

31
00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:06,530
their stocks don't actually make it to the day's headlines.

32
00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:12,170
So this is what the query looks like, this is the end point,

33
00:02:12,230 --> 00:02:16,730
and these are the parameters. Now, if we scroll down,

34
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,330
we can see a number of request parameters; q

35
00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:25,330
which is the keyword or phrase the same in the article title and body, qIn

36
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,210
Title is to search for in the title only,

37
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,420
and then you can limit the sources or the domains

38
00:02:32,420 --> 00:02:35,570
which you want to search or exclude certain websites

39
00:02:35,930 --> 00:02:39,200
and you can also specify the date, time, language,

40
00:02:39,530 --> 00:02:43,550
and a number of other things. Now, the only required parameter is

41
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,780
actually this API key. Now, in addition,

42
00:02:47,810 --> 00:02:51,500
we're probably gonna want to use one of these requests parameters.

43
00:02:52,250 --> 00:02:57,050
There's a lot of stocks that get lumped in into these analysis articles.

44
00:02:57,410 --> 00:03:01,420
So I think it will be more specific if we can actually check the title of the

45
00:03:01,420 --> 00:03:03,730
article for our company name.

46
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,680
So let's get started putting this API to use. Up here

47
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,840
we've really got the news end point,

48
00:03:11,770 --> 00:03:15,010
and we're going to delete this print statement,

49
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,400
and we're going to use the requests library to get hold of some data from that

50
00:03:21,550 --> 00:03:22,383
endpoint.

51
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:28,920
And then we're going to add our params. Our new params is firstly going to

52
00:03:29,950 --> 00:03:34,950
contain our API key and notice how it's spelled. When you are using parameters,

53
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,840
you have to make sure that any capitalization or spelling must match their

54
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,430
requirements exactly.

55
00:03:43,510 --> 00:03:48,040
So the API key is just going to be our news API key that we added previously,

56
00:03:48,580 --> 00:03:52,690
and then we're going to provide a queryInTitle as well.

57
00:03:53,020 --> 00:03:57,130
And I'm actually just going to straight up copy it because I'm not sure if that

58
00:03:57,130 --> 00:04:01,390
was an I or an L. That way we don't make any typos. Now,

59
00:04:01,420 --> 00:04:04,810
the query we're going to search for is actually our company name,

60
00:04:04,990 --> 00:04:07,420
because while we can search for the name of the stock,

61
00:04:07,660 --> 00:04:11,860
it's actually better to search for the company name because most articles tend

62
00:04:11,860 --> 00:04:14,650
to include the company name rather than the stock name.

63
00:04:15,730 --> 00:04:19,120
This is going to be the params that's going to go in here.

64
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,300
Now we're going to get hold of our response

65
00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:28,420
and I'm going to print out the response as a JSON.

66
00:04:31,170 --> 00:04:31,410
All right.

67
00:04:31,410 --> 00:04:33,030
If you take a look at the documentation,

68
00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:37,080
they also tell you what an example output would look like.

69
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:42,060
Firstly, we have a dictionary with status,

70
00:04:42,090 --> 00:04:45,150
total results, but most importantly articles,

71
00:04:45,330 --> 00:04:50,130
which is a list. In that list there's a bunch of dictionaries

72
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,480
which contains things like the source, the author, the title, description,

73
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:59,370
and each of these articles are an item in this list of articles.

74
00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:02,730
We can actually get hold of all the articles

75
00:05:03,210 --> 00:05:08,210
just by tapping into the news_response.json and then passing in the key

76
00:05:09,420 --> 00:05:14,400
articles. And now when I print that out,

77
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,830
you can see its a list first of all,

78
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:21,150
and then each article is a dictionary inside that list.

79
00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:27,630
Now we've managed to complete to-do number six and we can move on to

80
00:05:27,630 --> 00:05:28,800
to-do number seven,

81
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:34,280
which is to use the Python slice operator to create a list that contains the

82
00:05:35,220 --> 00:05:38,130
first three articles. And as a hint,

83
00:05:38,220 --> 00:05:41,160
I've linked to the Stack Overflow page

84
00:05:41,190 --> 00:05:46,170
where they go through the slice operator in quite a bit of detail

85
00:05:46,170 --> 00:05:47,003
actually.

86
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,900
If we want to only get the first three articles,

87
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,950
then our start is probably going to be from the beginning and then we're going

88
00:05:55,950 --> 00:05:58,100
to loop to stop minus one.

89
00:05:58,490 --> 00:06:03,490
So that's going to be :3 because let's start counting from zero. Like

90
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,300
that. And now if I print these three articles,

91
00:06:08,380 --> 00:06:09,213
right,

92
00:06:11,380 --> 00:06:12,010
to see them,

93
00:06:12,010 --> 00:06:17,010
if you click on this soft wrap and you can see the three items,

94
00:06:17,980 --> 00:06:22,540
one, two, and three.

95
00:06:24,310 --> 00:06:25,143
That's

96
00:06:25,630 --> 00:06:26,463
step two.

97
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:31,500
Now we've managed to use the news API to get hold of the first three articles

98
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,240
that talk about this particular company name. In the next lesson

99
00:06:37,270 --> 00:06:41,350
I'm going to go through the final part of the solution which is step three,

100
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:46,500
and to figure out how to send the relevant parts of the articles to our mobile

101
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:47,560
number.
