# S&P 500 Heatmap 📊
This project is a simple Python script that generates a heatmap of the S&P 500 index using the data from the Unusual Whales API. It is meant to look like the heatmap on the [Unusual Whales website](https://unusualwhales.com/heatmaps). You can save the heatmap as an image or open the dashboard to have a more detailed look into all the values.

## Introduction
If you have traded stocks you have probably come across the S&P 500 index and the heatmaps that are used to visualize the performance of the index. It provides a quick overview of the performance of the index and can be used to identify trends and patterns. Many sites provide these heatmaps, but I wanted to create my version using Python.
