Setting Up Locally

Follow these steps to set up the project locally:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/akshatg5/Finance-CS50
   

2. Create a virtual environment (recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`
   

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Set up the environment variables: Create a .env file in the root directory with the following content:

   JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret_here
   FINNHUB_API_KEY=your_finnhub_api_key_here
   DATABASE_URI=your_database_uri_here
   POLYGON_API_KEY=your_polygon_api_key_here
   GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key_here
   

   Replace the placeholder values with your actual API keys and database URI.

5. Initialize the database:

   flask db init
   flask db migrate
   flask db upgrade
   

6. Run the application:

   flask --app api/index.py run
   

The server should now be running on http://127.0.0.1:5000
