My challenge was to further understand Ruby on Rails and API integration
Role: Design + Code: Fullstack development and UI design
Tools: Ruby on Rails, Data from IEX Cloud API, Devise, PostgreSQL
Credits: I created this project as a side project to more deeply understand Rails and working with APIs
solution
A web application built on Ruby on Rails to organize the stocks you follow on one dashboard. I created a search functionality for real-time stock prices and financial data and a dashboard that shows the stocks the user follows along with highlights that display stocks that have dropped or raised significantly in value.
process
I explored accesible APIs and found the IEX Cloud API for financial data which I integrated into the Rails application. For my next project, I would like to explore caching the data in order to improve the speed of the application.
