This is a Python application that utilizes the Financial Modeling Prep API. It notifies the user via an email and a system notification when a specified stock or cryptocurrency has crossed below a specified target. The GUI is created using PySimpleGUI.
- Go to the Financial Modeling Prep website and create a free account
- Go to 'Dashboard' to get your API key
- Note: The free API allows a total of 250 request calls/day or 1 call every 6 minutes. Personally, I tune this based on what time I get on my computer and when I leave my computer to maximize the number of calls I can make.

- Make sure you have all the modules imported from the requirements.txt file
UPDATE: I have made a GUI using PySimpleGUI to display the information in a more aesthetically pleasing manner rather sticking to a terminal-based app.
Many features such as price indication on Wealthsimple does not work on my outdated phone so I hope to create a mobile version of this project for which I can use on a daily basis.
