Streamline Your Financial Data Feed with Automation
Client
Our client is a leading financial research company specializing in providing investment advice and recommendations to their clients. They have a dedicated team of analysts who constantly monitor market trends, assess company performance, and identify potential investment opportunities.
Challenge
The client’s challenge was to develop a financial recommendation engine that could generate proprietary signals for systematic equity investing by blending market and social data. They aimed to deliver these trade signals to a subscribed audience base daily. The client required vast finance-related data from various sources, including blogs, articles, news, and social media. The scale of data collection was significant, as it involved monitoring over 30,000 websites. Moreover, ensuring the availability and coverage of the data was crucial due to the dynamic nature of the finance market.
Actowiz Solution
The client implemented Actowiz Solutions’ Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform to tackle this challenge, leveraging its mass scale and low-latency crawl capabilities. The platform was specifically tailored to handle the immense scale of data collection required, encompassing over 30,000 websites. The crawl process was optimized to prioritize active sources while efficiently handling dormant ones adaptively. An alert system was also integrated to identify and notify inactive sources, ensuring accurate crawl results and overall system efficiency.
To meet the demanding low latency requirement, with a target of 5-10 minutes, the system incorporated specialized components designed to deliver the necessary computational power. These additions enabled swift processing of the collected data. The system provided a search API that allowed the client to query the data at regular intervals, typically within a few minutes, to obtain the desired results. The crawled data was then indexed using a hosted indexing component, enabling efficient storage and retrieval. The final output was delivered in JSON format, facilitating easy integration and customization for the client’s proprietary recommendation engine.
