Closed agrawalo closed 5 years ago

It looks like API that is currently used to fetch stock price is deprecated.

There are a couple of options listed in https://blog.rapidapi.com/google-finance-api-alternatives/

We should check if we can use WebSocket based API, this will help un in getting rid of updating stock prices using a cron job and it will be more real-time.

But this is a feature we can explore in the future. So, I'll track this on a separate issue.

Thanks, @agrawalo and @Phantsure for your contributions.
