Stock Ticker Display for Raspberry Pi LED Matrix Panels (Includes Pi Display OS)

Your own ticker symbols with price and daily change on an LED panel, using your own free Finnhub or Alpha Vantage key. Included in Pi Display OS.

Coming soon. Included in Pi Display OS (software ready, v1.0.0). Its Gumroad listing opens when Gumroad's daily new-product limit resets. Planned price: $29.

Launch updates by email are coming soon.

Requirements

  • Included in Pi Display OS (buying this gets the whole platform)
  • Your own Finnhub or Alpha Vantage key

A Pi Display OS module that shows the symbols you choose (up to 8) with price and daily change, as cards, a list or a scrolling ticker. Defaults are SPY and QQQ.

Quotes come from your own key with Finnhub or Alpha Vantage. Their free keys are for personal, non-commercial use, which covers a display in your own home; a business display needs the provider's commercial plan. Quotes may be delayed and are for information only, not investment advice.

  • Up and down days render at every panel size with no clipped text

Is it sold separately?

No. Stocks is a module of Pi Display OS: buying here gets you the whole platform. If you already own Pi Display OS or the Full Bundle, you already have it.
