Getbhavcopy: Free NSE and BSE data downloader

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 noticed, none of the earlier releases had that. The 'a' stands for

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...

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 ...

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...

A new version of Getbhavcopy has been released to fix the following issues:

• Till version 2.0.3 Getbhavcopy used to send a post to NSE to generate the CSV file for the index and then downloaded that csv file with index data. Recently I was noticing a lot of 404 Not Found errors being returned from NSE server randomly while downloading the NSE Indices data file.

Version 2.0.4 changes the approach in the way it downloads the Indices data. The i...

I am releasing a new version of Getbhavcopy with the following additional features and fixes:

• Added the facility to download three new BSE indices DOL30, DOL100 and DOL200.
• Added the facility to use the system proxy settings (i.e. from internet explorer). So for those users who need to download data in their office but are unable to do so, can do it now. However please note that this will not bypass your company proxy rules. It will work only if your comp...
