# RSI Indicator Flask App
This Flask-based application fetches stock market data from the **IG Index REST API** and calculates the **Relative Strength Index (RSI)** for a given stock. The app provides an endpoint to retrieve RSI data for any stock symbol by fetching historical price data from IG Index and performing the calculation.
## Features
- Authenticate with the IG Index REST API.
- Fetch stock market data using the IG Index API.
- Calculate the **RSI (Relative Strength Index)** for any given stock symbol.
- Returns RSI data via a Flask API endpoint.
- Configurable stock resolution, page settings, and max results.
## Technologies Used
- **Python**
- **Flask** (Web framework)
- **aiohttp** (Asynchronous HTTP Client)
- **pandas** (Data manipulation)
- **IG Index REST API** (Market data)
- **datetime** (Date and time handling)
## How It Works
1. **Authentication:**
The app authenticates with the **IG Index API** using your provided credentials (API Key, Username, and Password). This generates the necessary tokens for API requests.
2. **Fetch Market Data:**
The app searches for a stock symbol using the API. Once the stock is found, it retrieves its "epic" key to fetch historical market data for that stock.
3. **Fetch Historical Price Data:**
The app uses the epic key to retrieve historical stock price data, including close prices.
4. **RSI Calculation:**
The app calculates the **Relative Strength Index (RSI)** based on the close prices retrieved from the historical data.
5. **API Endpoint:**
A **Flask** API endpoint (`/rsi/`) is exposed to get RSI data for any stock symbol.
## Setup and Installation
To set up and run this Flask app locally, follow these steps:
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/RSI-Indicator-Flask-App.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd RSI-Indicator-Flask-App
```
3. Install the required dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
4. Create a `.env` file in the root directory with your **IG API credentials**:
```env
IG_API_KEY=your_ig_api_key
IG_USERNAME=your_ig_username
IG_PASSWORD=your_ig_password
```
5. Run the Flask app:
```bash
python app.py
```
By default, the app will run on `http://127.0.0.1:5000`.
## API Usage
Once the app is running, you can fetch RSI data for any stock symbol by making a GET request to the following endpoint:
