Description

---

For the purposes of demo program, there is just 1 route coded for now. Using this route, you can buy commodity of your choice at market price, limit/stop is not available for now(read Known Issues). I recommend you to test program using Postman. Just create a new POST request there, input http://127.0.0.1:4000/commodity as a url and finally choose Body -> raw and input following json:

JSON request syntax:

    {
        "name": "Ethereum" (string), // should be full name of commodity
        "quantity": 3.4 (float), // amount you want to buy
        "order": "Buy" (string) // type of order, buy or sell(for now just buy is implemented)
        "price": 200.10 (float) // not implemented yet
    }

JSON response syntax:

    {
        "success": true/false (boolean), // indication of request success
        "error": "" (string), // usually empty or server error message
        "data": "" (interface) // output of Alert box after order is done
    }

List of implemented routes

• http://127.0.0.1:4000/commodity - POST

Known issues

---

Buying commodity using limit/stop order is not implemented yet, because of famous Selenium issue: element couldn't be scrolled into view. This issue is going to be fixed, as soon as project gets approval.
