bseindia 1.1

library to get BSE India data

bseindia 1.0.0

A Python library for fetching publicly available market data from the BSE India website and API endpoints. It wraps the CSV/JSON/HTML feeds that power bseindia.com and returns clean pandas DataFrames (or Python dicts) ready for analysis.

Tested on Python 3.9+. Data is scraped from public BSE endpoints — be mindful of request rates.

Quick start

import bseindia

# Trading holiday calendar for the equity segment
holidays = bseindia.trading_holiday_calendar()

# Full BSE equity security master (cached locally to bse_security_list.csv)
securities = bseindia.all_listed_securities()

# Historical price/volume for a stock
from bseindia import equity
hist = equity.historical_stock_data(symbol="SBIN", period="1M")

# Today's bulk deals
deals = equity.bulk_deal_as_on_today()

# Derivatives bhavcopy for a given trade date
from bseindia import derivatives
fo_bhav = derivatives.derivative_bhav_copy(trade_date="01-07-2024")

Dates are always dd-mm-YYYY strings (e.g. "10-06-2024").

Notes & gotchas

• BSE endpoints sometimes rate-limit or time out; functions raise NSEdataNotFound or CalenderNotFound in those cases. Retry after a short pause.
• historical_stock_data resolves a symbol to a BSE scrip code via the cached security master, with a live smart-search fallback if the symbol is missing. Numeric inputs (e.g. "500325") are treated as scrip codes directly.
• The security master is cached at bseindia/bse_security_list.csv inside the installed package directory.
• All date inputs use the dd-mm-YYYY format unless otherwise noted.
