Getbhavcopy: Free NSE and BSE data downloader

Blog Post New Entry

Getbhavcopy version 2.0.3 released

Posted by Hemen on April 10, 2009 at 9:38 PM

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 company does not block nse server and you can access it using your browser.
  • Fixed an exception that was generated if someone tries to download extremely old data say from 2000 onwards. Most of you will not experience this, but still I decided to fix it.

The exception that was generated was the following:


System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
at Getbhavcopy.NSEClasses.NSEProcessor.process(NSEInd icesSymbolsDownloader[] symbolsarray, NSEIndicesDataDownloader[] dataarray) in C:\Hemen\MyDocs\Projects\Getbhavcopy_v2\Getbhavcop y_v2\NSEClasses\NSEProcessor.cs:line 43
at Getbhavcopy.GlobalClasses.Iterator.Iterate() in C:\Hemen\MyDocs\Projects\Getbhavcopy_v2\Getbhavcop y_v2\GlobalClasses\Iterator.cs:line 102

  • Fixed an excpetion that gets generated if some one tries to download data but has deleted the NSE and BSE data download directories. Now you will not get an excpetion but an error message in the status window and logs.

Now i believe that the current version of Getbhavcopy has reached a stable state where I do not have any pending issues to be fixed. So this will be the last version of Getbhavcopy in the 2.0.X series.


Next I plan to implement additional functionality to download Total Deliverable Quantity as Open Interest for BSE stocks too, as it is currently availabe for NSE. Hope it is worth the wait and effort.

@saurendra : Check the download section of the site.
@Manas : Thanks a lot for using Getbhavcopy. Will keep it free if I get the target donation of 60$ in a year to meet expenses. Sadly not much happening on that front :-(

Yes I do have that in mind. BSE Open Interest and NSE Futures is what I plan to offer in the next version. But this will take time so I believe this is the last stable version of Getbhavcopy till I add those features.

What was happening till now is that I was focusing more on bug fixes rather than new enhancement. Now I feel that most of the issues are taken care of, so time to add new features.
