Hi Vannroath, Metric collector uses the xignite service to obtain stock price/volume metrics. It¹s a paid service and you need a contract with xignite to use it. https://github.com/numenta/numenta-apps/tree/master/taurus.metric_collector s README.md describes the environment variable XIGNITE_API_TOKEN for setting the authentication info for this service.
Metric collector uses a free twitter account to collect tweets. You need to create your own twitter account and obtain oAuth credentials. The README.md describes the following environment variables for configuring the twitter credentials: TAURUS_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN, TAURUS_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET, TAURUS_TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY, TAURUS_TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET. Hope this helps.
