Installation

Requirements: Python 3.7+

pip install bdshare

Install from source (latest development version):

pip install -U git+https://github.com/rochi88/bdshare.git

Dependencies installed automatically: pandas, requests, beautifulsoup4, lxml

---

Quick Start

from bdshare import get_current_trade_data, get_historical_data

# Live prices for all instruments
df = get_current_trade_data()
print(df.head())

# Historical data for a specific symbol
df = get_historical_data('2024-01-01', '2024-01-31', 'GP')
print(df.head())

Or use the object-oriented client:

from bdshare import BDShare

with BDShare() as bd:
    print(bd.get_market_summary())
    print(bd.get_current_trades('ACI'))

---

Demo App

Three full-feature demos live in demo/ — live prices, historical charts with technical indicators, market movers, news, a portfolio tracker, live tick polling, and an interactive AI-agent (MCP) tool explorer:

cd demo
docker compose up --build streamlit   # pure Python — open http://localhost:8501
docker compose up --build node node-api mcp stream  # cross-language via REST/MCP/WebSocket — open http://localhost:3000
docker compose up --build app         # Flask/Plotly candlestick-only demo — open http://localhost:9999

The Node.js demo is the interesting one if you're integrating bdshare from outside Python: it's an Express UI that never imports bdshare — it talks to a FastAPI backend over REST, to bdshare-mcp over HTTP using the official MCP SDK, and to bdshare-stream over WebSocket, showing three different ways another program can consume this library.

See demo/README.md for local (non-Docker) setup for each.

Core Concepts

Concept	Details
Retries	All network calls retry up to 3 times with exponential back-off
Fallback URL	Every request has a primary and an alternate DSE endpoint
Caching	The BDShare client caches responses automatically (configurable TTL)
Rate limiting	Built-in sliding-window limiter (5 calls/second) prevents being blocked
Errors	All failures raise BDShareError — never silent

---

Usage Guide

Live Trading Data

from bdshare import get_current_trade_data, get_dsex_data, get_current_trading_code

# All instruments — returns columns: symbol, ltp, high, low, close, ycp, change, trade, value, volume
df = get_current_trade_data()

# Single instrument (case-insensitive)
df = get_current_trade_data('GP')

# DSEX index entries
df = get_dsex_data()

# Just the list of tradeable symbols
codes = get_current_trading_code()
print(codes['symbol'].tolist())

Historical Data

from bdshare import get_historical_data, get_basic_historical_data, get_close_price_data
import datetime as dt

start = '2024-01-01'
end   = '2024-03-31'

# Full historical data (ltp, open, high, low, close, volume, trade, value…)
# Indexed by date, sorted newest-first
df = get_historical_data(start, end, 'ACI')

# Simplified OHLCV — sorted oldest-first, ready for TA libraries
df = get_basic_historical_data(start, end, 'ACI')

# Set date as index explicitly
df = get_basic_historical_data(start, end, 'ACI', index='date')

# Rolling 2-year window
end   = dt.date.today()
start = end - dt.timedelta(days=2 * 365)
df    = get_basic_historical_data(str(start), str(end), 'GP')

# Close prices only
df = get_close_price_data(start, end, 'ACI')

Column order note: get_basic_historical_data intentionally returns OHLCV in standard order (open, high, low, close, volume) to be compatible with libraries like ta, pandas-ta, and backtrader.

Deprecated aliases: get_hist_data() and get_basic_hist_data() still work but emit a DeprecationWarning — migrate to get_historical_data() / get_basic_historical_data().

Market & Index Data

from bdshare import (
    get_market_status,
    get_market_info,
    get_market_info_more_data,
    get_market_depth_data,
    get_latest_pe,
    get_top_ten_gainers_losers,
    get_top_twenty_shares,
    get_company_info,
)

# Current market status: Open, Closed, Holiday, etc.
status = get_market_status()

# Last 30 days of market summary (DSEX, DSES, DS30, DGEN, volumes, market cap)
df = get_market_info()

# Historical market summary between two dates
df = get_market_info_more_data('2024-01-01', '2024-03-31')

# Order book (buy/sell depth) for a symbol
df = get_market_depth_data('ACI')

# P/E ratios for all listed companies
df = get_latest_pe()

# Top 10 gainers and losers (adjust limit as needed)
df = get_top_ten_gainers_losers(limit=10)

# Top 20 shares by traded volume (adjust limit as needed)
df = get_top_twenty_shares(limit=20)

# Detailed company profile
tables = get_company_info('GP')

News & Announcements

from bdshare import get_news, get_agm_news, get_all_news

# Unified dispatcher — news_type: 'all' | 'agm' | 'corporate' | 'psn'
df = get_news(news_type='all')
df = get_news(news_type='agm')
df = get_news(news_type='corporate', code='GP')
df = get_news(news_type='psn', code='ACI')   # price-sensitive news

# Direct function calls
df = get_agm_news()                          # AGM / dividend declarations
df = get_all_news(code='BEXIMCO')            # All news for one symbol
df = get_all_news('2024-01-01', '2024-03-31', 'GP')  # Filtered by date + symbol

Saving to CSV

from bdshare import get_basic_historical_data, Store
import datetime as dt

end   = dt.date.today()
start = end - dt.timedelta(days=365)

df = get_basic_historical_data(str(start), str(end), 'GP')
Store(df).save()   # saves to current directory as a CSV

OOP Client (BDShare)

The BDShare class wraps all functions with automatic caching and rate limiting.

from bdshare import BDShare

bd = BDShare(cache_enabled=True)   # cache_enabled=True is the default

Context manager (auto-cleans cache and session)

with BDShare() as bd:
    data = bd.get_current_trades('GP')

Market methods

bd.get_market_summary()                    # DSEX/DSES/DS30 indices + stats  (1-min TTL)
bd.get_company_profile('ACI')             # Company profile                  (1-hr TTL)
bd.get_latest_pe_ratios()                 # All P/E ratios                   (1-hr TTL)
bd.get_top_movers(limit=10)               # Top gainers/losers               (5-min TTL)

get_market_status() and get_top_twenty_shares() don't have BDShare wrapper methods yet — call the module-level functions directly (see API Reference).

Trading methods

bd.get_current_trades()                   # All live prices                  (30-sec TTL)
bd.get_current_trades('GP')               # Single symbol
bd.get_dsex_index()                       # DSEX index entries               (1-min TTL)
bd.get_trading_codes()                    # All tradeable symbols            (24-hr TTL)
bd.get_historical_data('GP', '2024-01-01', '2024-03-31')    # OHLCV history

News methods

bd.get_news(news_type='all')              # All news                         (5-min TTL)
bd.get_news(news_type='corporate', code='GP')
bd.get_news(news_type='psn')             # Price-sensitive news

Utility methods

bd.clear_cache()                          # Flush all cached data
bd.configure(proxy_url='http://proxy:8080')
print(bd.version)                         # Package version string

---

Error Handling

All failures raise BDShareError. Never catch bare Exception — you'll miss bugs.

from bdshare import BDShare, BDShareError

bd = BDShare()

try:
    df = bd.get_historical_data('INVALID', '2024-01-01', '2024-01-31')
except BDShareError as e:
    print(f"DSE error: {e}")
    # safe fallback logic here

Common causes of BDShareError:

• Symbol not found in the response table
• DSE site returned a non-200 status after all retries
• Table structure changed on the DSE page (report as a bug)
• Network timeout

from bdshare import BDShare, BDShareError

def summarize(symbol: str, days: int = 30) -> dict:
    end   = dt.date.today()
    start = end - dt.timedelta(days=days)

    with BDShare() as bd:
        try:
            df = bd.get_historical_data(symbol, str(start), str(end))

print(f"{result['symbol']}: {result['change_pct']:.2f}% over 30 days")

Simple portfolio tracker

from bdshare import BDShare, BDShareError

PORTFOLIO = {
    'GP':      {'qty': 100, 'cost': 450.50},
    'ACI':     {'qty':  50, 'cost': 225.75},
    'BEXIMCO': {'qty': 200, 'cost': 125.25},
}

with BDShare() as bd:
    total_cost = total_value = 0

    for symbol, pos in PORTFOLIO.items():
        try:
            row = bd.get_current_trades(symbol).iloc[0]
            price        = row['ltp']
            market_value = pos['qty'] * price
            cost         = pos['qty'] * pos['cost']
            pnl          = market_value - cost

            print(f"{symbol:10s}  price={price:8.2f}  P&L={pnl:+10.2f}")

Advanced Features

Technical Indicators

Wraps the ta library to add indicator columns directly onto bdshare's OHLCV DataFrames.

pip install "bdshare[ta]"

from bdshare import get_basic_historical_data
from bdshare.indicators import add_indicators, add_rsi

df = get_basic_historical_data('2024-01-01', '2024-06-30', 'GP')

# Add everything (sma_20, ema_20, rsi_14, macd/macd_signal/macd_diff, bb_high/bb_mid/bb_low)
df = add_indicators(df)

# Or just one, with custom parameters
df = add_rsi(df, window=21)

Also available: add_sma(), add_ema(), add_macd(), add_bollinger_bands(). Each returns a new DataFrame (the input is never mutated).

Portfolio Tracking

Portfolio tracks cost basis and values holdings against live prices — no extra dependency required (pure pandas), and valuation() makes exactly one live call for all instruments regardless of how many positions you hold.

from bdshare.portfolio import Portfolio

pf = Portfolio()
pf.add_position('GP', quantity=100, avg_cost=450.50)
pf.add_position('ACI', quantity=50, avg_cost=225.75)

print(pf.holdings().to_string())    # cost basis only, no network call
print(pf.valuation().to_string())   # + ltp, market_value, pnl, pnl_pct per position
print(pf.summary())                 # {'positions': 2, 'total_cost': ..., 'total_pnl': ...}

Adding to an existing position blends the cost basis like a real buy; a negative quantity reduces it, and netting to zero drops the position. Unknown/delisted symbols get None valuation fields instead of raising, so one bad symbol doesn't block valuing the rest.

Real-Time Streaming (WebSocket)

DSE has no public push/streaming API — this polls get_current_trade_data() on an interval and broadcasts changed rows over WebSocket, so another program can subscribe instead of polling bdshare itself.

pip install "bdshare[stream]"

Run the bundled server:

bdshare-stream --symbols GP,ACI --interval 5

Any other program connects as a plain WebSocket client:

import asyncio, json, websockets

async def main():
    async with websockets.connect('ws://localhost:8765') as ws:
        async for message in ws:
            print(json.loads(message))   # {"type": "ticks", "data": [...]}

asyncio.run(main())

Or skip the server and use the polling generator directly inside your own asyncio program:

from bdshare.stream import stream_ticks

async def main():
    async for changed in stream_ticks(symbols=['GP', 'ACI'], interval=5.0):
        print(changed)

asyncio.run(main())

---

Using bdshare with AI Agents (MCP Server)

bdshare ships an MCP server so AI agents running in another program — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any other MCP-compatible client — can call live DSE data as tools, without you writing any glue code.

Install

pip install "bdshare[mcp]"

Run

bdshare-mcp
# or
python -m bdshare.mcp_server

By default it speaks MCP over stdio, which is what desktop/CLI agent clients expect.

Connect it to a client

Claude Code:

claude mcp add bdshare -- bdshare-mcp

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bdshare": {
      "command": "bdshare-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Any other MCP client is configured the same way — point it at the bdshare-mcp command (or python -m bdshare.mcp_server), stdio transport.

Running it over the network instead of stdio

Stdio only works when the client can spawn the server as a local child process (Claude Desktop/Code). For a program in another container, another machine, or another language entirely — nothing that speaks Python — run it over HTTP instead:

bdshare-mcp --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Any MCP client library can connect to http://host:8000/mcp; see demo/node/ for a full example using the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk from Node.js. Binding beyond 127.0.0.1/localhost automatically disables DNS-rebinding protection, since every legitimate client then arrives with a non-localhost Host header — only do this on a trusted network (an internal Docker network, not the public internet).

What the agent gets

15 tools covering the same data this README documents — market_status, market_summary, market_summary_range, market_depth, latest_pe_ratios, top_ten_gainers_losers, top_twenty_shares, company_info, current_trades, dsex_index, trading_codes, historical_data, basic_historical_data, news, agm_news. Each tool returns JSON — DataFrames are converted to lists of row records — and a BDShareError (bad symbol, DSE outage, parse failure) surfaces as a clean tool error message instead of a raw traceback.

Notes for agent use

• No caching in the MCP server itself. Every tool call scrapes dsebd.org live. If your agent calls the same tool repeatedly in one turn (e.g. checking a price several times), consider fronting it with the BDShare client's caching in a custom wrapper — the bundled server intentionally stays stateless and simple.
• Rate limits are the agent's responsibility. The BDShare OOP client has a built-in 5 calls/second limiter; the MCP tools call the plain module-level functions, which don't. Avoid tight loops of tool calls.
• Source: bdshare/mcp_server.py — a plain FastMCP server, easy to fork if you want a different tool surface.

[1.2.3] - 2026-07-22

Added

• bdshare/indicators.py — technical indicator helpers (add_sma, add_ema, add_rsi, add_macd, add_bollinger_bands, add_indicators) built on the ta library, operating on the OHLCV DataFrames returned by get_basic_historical_data(); install with pip install bdshare[ta]
• bdshare/portfolio.py — Portfolio/Position classes for tracking cost basis and valuing holdings against live prices (holdings(), valuation(), summary()); one live call for all instruments regardless of portfolio size
• bdshare/stream.py — polling-based WebSocket tick streaming (stream_ticks(), TickServer); broadcasts changed rows from get_current_trade_data() to connected clients so another program can subscribe over ws:// instead of polling itself. DSE has no push API, so this is poll-and-diff under a WebSocket-shaped interface, not true push. Install with pip install bdshare[stream], run with bdshare-stream
• demo/streamlit/streamlit_app.py — full-feature Streamlit dashboard showcasing every public feature in one app: live trading data, historical charts with bdshare.indicators overlays, market movers, news, bdshare.portfolio tracking, live-tick polling, and an interactive AI-agent (MCP) tool explorer. Runs via docker compose up --build streamlit (demo/streamlit/Dockerfile, builds bdshare from local source so unreleased features are included) or locally with pip install -e ".[ta,stream]" + streamlit run demo/streamlit/streamlit_app.py
• demo/ reorganized into demo/flask/, demo/streamlit/, and demo/node/, all built from demo/docker-compose.yml with a repo-root build context; documented in demo/README.md (previously an unrelated generic Flask/Plotly readme with no mention of bdshare or Docker)
• bdshare-mcp --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 — the MCP server can now run over the network instead of only stdio, for clients that can't spawn it as a local child process (a different language, another container). Binding beyond loopback auto-disables DNS-rebinding protection, since every legitimate client then arrives with a non-localhost Host header
• demo/node/ — a four-service showcase of consuming bdshare from outside Python: an Express UI (demo/node/server, never imports bdshare) talking to a FastAPI backend (demo/node/api, bdshare functions as JSON REST) over REST, to bdshare-mcp --transport streamable-http over MCP via the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, and to bdshare-stream over WebSocket (relayed to the browser). Run via docker compose up --build node node-api mcp stream or locally per demo/README.md

Fixed

• bdshare.BDShareError (the publicly exported/documented exception) was a different class from bdshare.util.helper.BDShareError, the one every scraping function actually raises — except bdshare.BDShareError silently never caught real errors. bdshare/__init__.py now re-exports the same class instead of redefining it
• demo/app.py: convert_to_native_types() called pd.isna(obj) before checking whether obj was a list/dict, crashing with ValueError: The truth value of an array... is ambiguous on any chart request; container types are now checked first
• demo/app.py: get_available_tickers() checked for a trading_code column that doesn't exist on get_current_trade_data()'s output (symbol does), so it always silently fell back to the hardcoded stock list
• demo/Dockerfile: base image python:3.11-slim-buster is EOL (Debian Buster archived), so apt-get update would fail on a fresh build; switched to python:3.11-slim

[1.2.2] - 2026-07-22

Added

• Optional as_polars=True parameter across all data-fetching functions to return polars.DataFrame instead of pandas.DataFrame (requires pip install bdshare[polars])
• get_market_status() — current market status (Open, Closed, Holiday, etc.)
• get_top_twenty_shares() — top twenty shares by traded volume
• MCP (Model Context Protocol) server (bdshare/mcp_server.py) exposing 15 tools so AI agents (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.) can call live DSE data directly; install with pip install bdshare[mcp], run with bdshare-mcp

Changed

• Renamed get_top_gainers_losers() → get_top_ten_gainers_losers(); returned columns changed from symbol, ltp, change to symbol, close, high, low, ycp, change

Removed

• get_sector_performance() (module function and BDShare.get_sector_performance()) — no aliased replacement; use get_top_twenty_shares() instead

Fixed

• Bundled the missing Sectigo DV R36 intermediate certificate so requests to dsebd.org verify correctly instead of relying on an incomplete chain
• Corrected DSE_ALT_URL fallback domain to dse.com.bd
• get_corporate_announcements() and get_price_sensitive_news() always raised BDShareError — the row parser assumed each news item was one <tr> with 4 <td>s, but DSE renders each field (Trading Code:, News Title:, News:, Post Date:) as its own <th>/<td> row pair
• as_polars=True could crash with unexpected value while building Series of type String; found value of type Float64: NaN on tables mixing strings and missing values (e.g. get_company_info()); NaN now converts to a proper polars null instead
• Corrected usage.rst/README documentation that had get_historical_data()/get_basic_historical_data() mislabeled as the deprecated aliases — get_hist_data()/get_basic_hist_data() are the deprecated ones

[1.2.1] - 2026-02-22

• get_basic_hist_data() — still callable but emits DeprecationWarning; will be removed in 2.0.0
• get_market_inf() — still callable but emits DeprecationWarning; will be removed in 2.0.0
• get_market_inf_more_data() — still callable but emits DeprecationWarning; will be removed in 2.0.0
• get_company_inf() — still callable but emits DeprecationWarning; will be removed in 2.0.0

Added

• BDShareError custom exception — all network and scraping failures now raise this instead of silently printing and returning None
• Shared requests.Session (_session) across all modules — reuses TCP connections for significantly faster repeated calls
• Exponential back-off retry logic in safe_get() — pauses 0.2 s → 0.4 s → 0.8 s between attempts before raising BDShareError
• Fallback URL support in safe_get() — primary and alternate DSE endpoints tried within the same retry attempt
• lxml-based HTML parsing in _fetch_table() with html.parser fallback — replaces html5lib (~10× faster)
• _safe_num() helper — all scraped values now returned as typed numerics (float/int) instead of raw strings
• _parse_trade_rows() and _filter_symbol() internal helpers in trading.py — eliminate duplicated parsing logic between get_current_trade_data() and get_dsex_data()
• get_news() unified dispatcher — accepts news_type of 'all', 'agm', 'corporate', or 'psn'
• get_corporate_announcements() and get_price_sensitive_news() — previously missing functions now fully implemented
• Column count guards (len(cols) < N) across all table parsers — malformed rows are skipped rather than raising IndexError
• Backward-compatibility aliases for all renamed functions with DeprecationWarning
• Type hints throughout all public functions
• Comprehensive docstrings with parameter and return documentation

Fixed

• get_agm_news(): corrected field name typo agmData → agmDate
• get_agm_news(): corrected field name typo vanue → venue
• get_market_depth_data(): no longer creates a new requests.Session on every retry iteration
• get_basic_hist_data(): redundant double sort_index() call removed
• get_hist_data() and get_close_price_data(): no longer silently return None on empty results
• RateLimiter in __init__.py: switched from time.time() to time.monotonic() for reliable elapsed-time measurement

Removed

• html5lib as the default parser — replaced by lxml with html.parser fallback
• Silent print(e) error handling — all error paths now raise BDShareError
• Dead timeout parameter from BDShare.configure() — it had no effect
