About this project

TRMNLmoneyRates is a plugin designed for TRMNL e-ink displays, specifically tailored for financial real estate developers. It provides a way to display persistent financial data through two primary mechanisms: 1. FRED Data Integration: A script designed to run via GitHub Actions (or similar services) that polls the St. Louis Federal Reserve (FRED) API and outputs a JSON file for the TRMNL backend. 2. Chatham Financial Data Extraction: A script that processes quarterly CRE market spreads reports from Chatham Financial. Users manually save the PDF report into the project, and the script searches for specific market keywords (e.g., 'medical') to publish the spreads in JSON format. The TRMNL device then polls these JSON files to display the data on the e-ink screen.
