Overview

This node interacts with the Finnhub.io API to provide stock recommendations based on a specified company symbol. It is useful for users who want to get investment insights or stock analysis for a particular stock symbol, such as AAPL (Apple Inc.). The node supports toggling between premium and free API endpoints depending on the user's credential access.

Use Case Examples

  1. A financial analyst uses the node to fetch stock recommendations for Apple Inc. to inform investment decisions.
  2. A trading bot integrates the node to get real-time stock recommendations for various symbols to automate trading strategies.

Properties

Name Meaning
Premium Access Toggle to use premium Finnhub API endpoints if the user has the appropriate credential.
Symbol The stock symbol of the company for which the recommendation is requested, e.g., AAPL.

Output

JSON

  • symbol - The stock symbol for which the recommendation was retrieved.
  • recommendation - The stock recommendation data returned by the Finnhub API, which may include buy, hold, or sell signals and other relevant metrics.

Dependencies

  • Finnhub API access with appropriate credentials (free or premium)

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the stock symbol is valid and correctly formatted; invalid symbols will cause API errors.
  • Check API credentials and premium access toggle; using premium endpoints without proper credentials will result in authorization errors.
  • Network issues or proxy misconfiguration can cause request failures; verify proxy settings and network connectivity.
  • Timeout settings should be adjusted if the API response is slow to avoid premature request abortion.
