Tickr CI

News CateGOrizer for public companies listed in stock exchanges in Bangladesh.

Overview

Tickr provides a Go package which let you categorize news data(title,article etc.) into TICKER of publicly traded companies in stock exchanges here in Bangladesh.

It is based on the bdstock.json dataset that I developed which includes 3 datapoints for each public company listed in stock market of Bangladesh:

  1. Company names, the way they usually appear in newspaper.
  2. TICKER of that company.
  3. Sector of that company.

This package includes two API:

  1. Get(): for extracting TICKER(s) from given news data.
  2. Sector(): for extracting sector from given TICKER.

In addition this library provides a CLI to perform the above operations via console.

Getting Started

Installing

To start using Tickr, install Go and run go get:

$ go get github.com/rafatbiin/tickr/...

This will retrieve the library and install the tickr command line utility into your $GOBIN path.

Getting the TICKER(s)

The top-level object in Tickr is a Ticker.

To get TICKER(s) for your news data, simply create an instance of Ticker and use the t.Get(news_data) function:

package main

import (
	"github.com/rafatbiin/tickr"
)

func main() {
	t, err := tickr.New()
	if err != nil {
		// Handle error
	}
	news_data := "রূপালী ব্যাংকের দ্বিতীয় প্রান্তিক প্রকাশ"
	tickers := t.Get(news_data) // map(TICKER->frequency) => {"RUPALIBANK":1}
	...
}

Getting the Sector

To get Sector of a publicly traded Compnay in Bangladesh, use the t.Sector(TICKER) function:

package main

import (
	"github.com/rafatbiin/tickr"
)

func main() {
	t, err := tickr.New()
	if err != nil {
		// Handle error
	}
	ticker := "RUPALIBANK"
	s := t.Sector(ticker) // bank
	...
}

CLI

For TICKER(s):

$ tickr ticker "রূপালী ব্যাংকের দ্বিতীয় প্রান্তিক প্রকাশ"
{"RUPALIBANK":1}

For Sector:

$ tickr sector RUPALIBANK
bank
