I'm making a series on building a Discord bot that checks stock prices. This is the first part, where we set up a basic bot that can return a stock's price when you type a command.
If you're learning Python and want to build something practical, this is a straightforward project. We'll use the Yahoo Finance API to get real-time data and connect it to Discord.
In this video, I'll cover how to create the bot application, set up the basic code, and get it running in a server. It doesn't require much previous experience.
This is a starting point. If people find it useful, I'll add features in future videos, like technical indicators or portfolio tracking.
The code for this project will be available if you want to use it. Let me know if you have suggestions for what to build next.
