Stocks From FinnHub and Real-Time Analytics with Python
stonks. pulsar. python. websockets.
Code: https://github.com/tspannhw/FLiPN-Py-Stocks
The easiest application to build is a simple Python application since finnhub includes the basics in their documentation. We are going to use their free WEBSOCKET interface to Trades so we can get real-time events as they happen. We will get JSON data for each trade triggered.

Python App
Python application receives websocket stream of JSON arrays and sends individual JSON messages with a JSON schema.

Let’s Build a Schema for our JSON data. Once we have a class definied for it in Python, we can send that to an Apache Pulsar cluster and it will generate the first version of our schema for us. When we have a schema it lets us treat that data as a table in Trino, Spark SQL and Flink SQL. So this is awesome.
By defining our data and making it fully structured with a schema even though it is still semi-structured JSON, it makes it very easy to work with. We know what we are getting. This will make it easier to stream into Apache Pinot, Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake or another analytics system.
class Stock (Record):
symbol = String()
ts = Float()
currentts = Float()
volume = Float()
price = Float()
tradeconditions = String()
uuid = String()
We then connect to our Pulsar cluster, very easy in Python.
client = pulsar.Client(‘pulsar://localhost*:6650*’)
producer = client.create_producer(topic=’persistent://public/defaultstocks’ ,schema=JsonSchema(Stock),properties={“producer-name”: “py-stocks”,”producer-id”: “pystocks1” })
If we have never used this topic before, Pulsar will create it for you. For best practices, build your tenant, namespace and topic before your application while you are defining schemas and data contracts.
