Project Overview

Goblin Stocks is a web application built using the Node.js runtime and the Express framework, leveraging MongoDB for data storage. It offers users CRUD functionalities to interact with World of Warcraft token price data, along with historical pricing trends and predictive analytics.

Features and Functionality

Real-Time Data Fetching

Goblin Stocks retrieves the latest WoW token prices directly from the World of Warcraft (WoW) API, ensuring up-to-date market data. Each fetched data point is timestamped to track historical changes accurately.

Data Storage

The fetched data is stored in MongoDB, a flexible and high-performance NoSQL database. This setup facilitates efficient data management and quick retrieval, critical for the application's real-time requirements.

Data Presentation

Using D3.js, the application presents the WoW token prices in dynamic, interactive graphs. This visualization allows users to easily comprehend and analyze the trends in token prices over various time frames.

Trend Analysis

Goblin Stocks analyzes historical data of WoW token prices stored in MongoDB to identify patterns and trends in the market. This analysis provides users with insights into potential future movements, aiding in informed decision-making.
