Getbhavcopy: Free NSE and BSE data downloader

It has been some time since I released version 2.1.0a, and no major issues have been reported. So I am making it as a released candidate and will be discontinuinig the 2.0.7 and 2.1.0.a versions.

To understand what new features have been implemented in the version 2.1.0, in case you are upgrading from version 2.0.7, please read the release post for version ...

For those who are regulars at my site and are wondering why I have noot been posting or answering to any queries lately, i would like to inform that it has been really hectic for me in the last two to three months and I have not had the time to respond to visit this site.

I apologise if any inconvenience caused to you.

Also I was busy with my move back to USA for a work related project, and was busy setting up my home internet so that once again I can start...

Update: Version 2.1.0 has been released. Please refer to the release post

There is not much activity on the forums these days. May be everyone is really busy like I have been over the past few weeks (causing me to delay this release which i promised to do on 31 Jan). Anyway, i hope this new release spices things up a bit.

First of all I would like to draw your attention to the 'a' after the version number for this relese. If you...

Over the past three days Getbhavcopy users have not been able to download NSE Equity EOD data because NSE changed the way it provides the csv file. The CSV is no longer provided as clear text but is provided in a zip file. Hence Getbhavcopy was getting 404 error when it tried to download the CSV file for the past three days.

This zip logic has been incorporated in Getbhavcopy version 2.0.7 and data download should be fine now.

Moreover some users reported t...

Wishing everyone in the Getbhavcopy community a very Happy Diwali and a Prosperous new year.

Hope the light of this Diwali drives away the darkness and lull that was spread by the economic slowdown last year. Hope everyone makes good decisions and books profits...

Also lets hope there is peace in this world..

Now, coming back to Getbhavcopy, I would like to remind everyone in case you need to download Muhurat trading data (which can fall o...

I know this has been pending for a long time from my end. Thanks to the Maharashtra Assembly elections and the holiday as a result of it, I got some well deserved time to work on this new release.

This version contains the following fixes:

1. BSE Indices data download fixed : Technically this was not a bug in Getbhavcopy, however the change at BSE end caused things to break in almost all free data downloaders available. I think ...

I have created two new categories for the community members to post theri short and medium term picks in the forums section to help other investors benefit from your analysis.

I also request you to please provide a short description of how you arrived at that target for the pick, be it based on some news or fundamentals or technical analysis.

The short term picks are for targ...

While most of the blogs on this site deal with Getbhavcopy, this one does not (directly). However indirectly it does. As you may have seen, for the past few days I am not having enough time to spend over the site. I have also not been able to work on the fix for BSE indices issue.

Well for those who are not following me on Twitter, I would like to inform you that i am moving back to Mumbai from California with my family. As a resu...

It seems this quiet site is suddenly experiencing a lot of attention and activity; thankfully for good reasons rather than something being broken in Getbhavcopy.

Lot of enthusiatic users are posting their analysis and tips in the 'Analysis, Strategis and Tips' section of the forums. Now if you are an experienced technical analyst or some one who is learning TA, reading someone's analysis...

This one is a quick fix to let Getbhavcopy users know that there was an error downloading NSE indices data.

As we have seen recently, NSE Indices data does not get downloaded and Getbhavcopy does not report any error. Since the issue is at NSE end (i.e. no indices data generated) Getbhavcopy cannot do much as the data is not availabe for it to download, but it should atleast notify the users that there was an issue.

Now with this version in case Getbhavcop...
