Build Instructions

This project uses git submodules and cmake to compile. It should build on Linux and MacOS.

It requires OpenSSL and Boost Static Libraries being installed on your system. Modify the CMakeLists.txt files if you want to link to the dynamic versions of these libraries.

git clone https://github.com/a-n-t-h-o-n-y/CrabWise.git
cd CrabWise/
mkdir build && cd build/
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make crabwise    # Build the app locally
make install     # Optional install to gnu default directories

Instructions

You'll need to register for a free Finnhub API key here in order to get live data for most markets.

When the app is run for the first time, you'll pass in your Finnhub API key via the command line, the application will remember this on subsequent startups, and can be replaced anytime by passing a new key via the command line.

All data is stored in the ~/Documents/crabwise/ directory. You'll find a few files here:

• finnhub.key: Your Finnhub API Key

• assets.txt: Store of your current assets, saved on Save button press.

• crabwise.log: Status and Error logs, if having network issues, look here.

• ids.json: Created on first run, contains symbol ids used to fetch data.

Once the app is up and running, you can search for assets by expanding the sidebar and using the search bar. Click on an asset to add it, x to delete it.

You can type in the quantity of the asset you own under the Quantity column, which will update the Value column.

Click on the Save button in the bottom right corner. This will save the current state of the app, so it can be reloaded later.

assets.txt Format

This is the file your data is stored in, it has a simple format. # starts a comment, has to be on its own line. Exchanges can be listed multiple times, the order listed is the order read into the program. Quantity and Cost_basis are optional. Any number of whitespace is used a separator. Base currency is listed first, then the currency it is quoted in on the exchange. Stocks are listed with the literal 'Stock' header.

Coinbase:
    BTC  USD Quantity Cost_basis
    AAVE USD Quantity Cost_basis
    GRT  USD Quantity Cost_basis

Binance:
    BTC USDT Quantity Cost_basis
    BNB BTC  Quantity Cost_basis

# Comment

    MSFT Quantity Cost_basis
    TSLA Quantity Cost_basis

Use with a Terminal that supports True Color.

Make sure ssl certificates are installed on your system in the usual locations. OpenSSL via homebrew installs these on MacOS, and ca-certificates package on linux.
