What did you work on this past iteration? For the post iteration (2 weeks), I mainly worked on ensuring the routing using the API to request news data as well as stock price data. Specifically, we chose to cache the entire listing of all publicly traded company. Also I created methods to integrate the request and populate the database.

What were any major issue/challenges you ran into? Unfortunately, the stock price API is free therefore they limit how often an individual user requests data from their server therefore I had to use the built-in method to set a timer/ interval so that requests are not sent to frequently.

What do you plan to work on for this upcoming iteration (2 weeks)? I am planning to add an additional user interface component where when an investor is using our website and reading news regarding a particular company and it can judge the news based on the sentiment indicator without actually reading the article.
