Gives you an update on your stock portfolios losses and gains

# Stock Portfolio Report

This assignment will test the following skills:

- Reading and writing to the file system
- Making HTTP requests
- Testing read & write operations to the disk
- Testing HTTP requests using a mock library
- Packaging the script using `setup.py`


## Description
Write a program which will generate up-to-date performance reports for a given
stock portfolio. The program will accept two arguments: an input CSV file which
contains the holdings information, and, a path to output the CSV report.

We will use the [IEX Trading API](https://iexcloud.io/docs/api/), as the market data source – it is a free API for learning procedure.

you need to register using this link https://iexcloud.io/cloud-login#/register and generate your API key.

Make sure you don't share your API key with your friends.

### Requirements
The program will read a CSV file containing our portfolio data. Based on this
data, a new CSV report will be generated using live market value to indicate
our current holding performance using the IEX API.

The program will be installable using `pip`, and requires a `setup.py`
file. When installed, a binary will be added to the Python path which can be
invoked from anywhere on the filesystem.

An example interaction with the script looks like this:

```
$ portfolio_report --source portfolio.csv --target report1.csv
```

#### Input file
The input CSV will have 3 columns (example provided).

- `symbol`: the ticker symbol (e.g. AAPL is Apple)
- `units`: the quantity of shares held
- `cost`: the original / average purchase price of the holding


Example:

symbol | units | cost
-------| ------|------
AAPL   | 1000  | 123.56
AMZN   |  20   | 2001.1



Using the list of symbols from the input CSV, get quotes from IEX to fetch the
latest price. This can be done in a batch request – meaning, multiple quotes
can be requested in a single HTTP request. See:

Docs: IEX trading API

Example request & response

Example request: GET the latest quotes for Apple, Facebook & Snapchat:

replace your API key with "pasteyourapihere" in url below. 

https://cloud.iexapis.com/stable/tops?token="pasteyourapihere"&symbols=SNAP,AMZN,AAPL

you can refer to screenshot below for your API key

Returned Data:

```json
[{
    "symbol": "AAPL",
        "price": 204.29,
        "size": 100,
        "time": 1563307196175
}, {
    "symbol": "AMZN",
        "price": 2008.395,
        "size": 1,
        "time": 1563307196058
}, {
    "symbol": "SNAP",
        "price": 15,
        "size": 100,
        "time": 1563307196047
}]
```


Once the latest price is obtained, a series of calculations are made to
establish the current performance of the portfolio: what the current market
value is, the gain and loss for each holding and a percentage of change.

If a symbol listed in the input CSV is not found on the exchange, the IEX API
ignores it. Your script should account for this situation by warning the user
that the symbol was not found, but continue to process the rest of the valid
symbols.


#### Output file

The expected CSV report will have the following columns

* `symbol`: The stock ticker symbol (i.e. AAPL)
* `units`: The amount of shares held
* `cost`: The original cost per share
* `latest_price`: The latest market price per share
* `book_value`: The value of the shares at time of purchase
* `market_value`: The value of the shares based on the latest market value
* `gain_loss`: The dollar amount either gained or lost
* `change`: A percentage (decimal) of the gain/loss


##### Sample output CSV
symbol  | units | cost     |   latest_price | book_value  |   market_value | gain_loss |   change
------- |-------|----------|----------------|-------------|----------------| ----------|----------
AAPL    | 1000  | 123.56   |   156.23       | 12356       |   15623        | 3267      |   0.264
AMZN    | 20    | 2001.1   |   1478.19      | 40022       |   29563        | -10459    |   -0.261


## Getting started

Take a modular approach to completing this assignment and build each functional
component in isolation, accompanied by appropriate tests.

Here is a breakdown of isolated functional units:

- Given a filename, read a CSV and convert it to a Python data structure
- Build a method which returns the latest market price for holdings
- Build methods which calculate the book value, market value
- Build a method to convert the holding into CSV
- Build a method that writes to the output filename.


## Testing

Testing against third-party services can be challenging as they are out of our
control. As developers, we must build our application with the expectation of
specific behaviours from these services. Mocks (faking) are a handy way to
isolate the dependency and replace it with a constant to which we can build
tests. For this, we will use the `requests-mock` library to stub out
HTTP requests.

https://requests-mock.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pytest.html

Install using `pip install requests-mock`.

As for writing files, use the `tmp_path` fixture that ships with pytest to
write to temporary locations on the disk.

**Make sure to update `requirements.txt`** and include any libraries required
to build this project (e.g. `requests`, `requests-mock`) so they are available
to Travis CI.

## Packaging

As described above, provide a `setup.py` configuration to package your
application. Ensure that dependencies required to run your script are included
(e.g. requests)
