Help with running the app

[nithinrajendran]

Hi Dave,
Love your dashboard.
I'm trying to run it in my machine. Disclosure: I'm unfamiliar with node.js and flask.
I'm unable to get data from iex.
The ticker and search works, but get_historical_data returns a iexqueryexceeption error.
I don't know where in the app I need to mention my api token.
I'd really appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi Nithin, glad you like it and find some use for it!

Looking at the iexfinance docs, it looks like an API key is now required to access the IEX Cloud API:
https://pypi.org/project/iexfinance/

Once you have the token, you just need to append this onto the iex function calls, eg:
get_historical_data(symbol, start, end, output_format='pandas', token="<YOUR AUTH TOKEN>")

I'll take a look at the changes IEX have made and see if i can update the repo soon

cheers
