nepse-data-api 1.0.0

High-performance Python library for Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) data

nepse-data-api

Advanced Python client for Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE)

nepse-data-api is a high-performance, refined Python library for accessing live and historical market data from the Nepal Stock Exchange. It handles authentication, token management, and data scrambling automatically, providing a clean and simple API for developers and researchers.

✨ Features

• ✅ 26+ API Endpoints - Complete NEPSE data coverage (Live Market, Floorsheets, Depth, etc.)
• ✅ WASM Authentication - Secure, automated token generation and management
• ✅ Smart Caching - Built-in caching layer (5700x faster for repeated requests)
• ✅ Async Support - Full async/await support for high-concurrency applications
• ✅ Validated Data - Accurate and reliable market information

🚀 Quick Start

pip install nepse-data-api

from nepse_data_api import Nepse

# Initialize
nepse = Nepse()

# Get live market data
stocks = nepse.get_stocks()
print(f"Total listed stocks: {len(stocks)}")

# Get market status
status = nepse.get_market_status()
print(f"Market is currently: {status['isOpen']}")

# Get top gainers
gainers = nepse.get_top_gainers(limit=5)
for stock in gainers:
    print(f"{stock['symbol']}: {stock['lastTradedPrice']} ({stock['percentageChange']}%)")

📖 API Reference

Market Overview

# Market status (open/close)
status = nepse.get_market_status()

# Market summary (turnover, transactions)
summary = nepse.get_market_summary()

# NEPSE main index
index = nepse.get_nepse_index()

# All sector indices
sectors = nepse.get_sub_indices()

Stock Data

from datetime import date

# Live stock prices (all stocks)
stocks = nepse.get_stocks()

# Historical prices for a specific date (e.g., today)
today = date.today().strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
stocks = nepse.get_stocks(date=today)

# Specific security details
# Use security ID from company list
details = nepse.get_security_details(security_id)

# Historical chart data
# Fetch chart for a date range (YYYY-MM-DD)
chart = nepse.get_historical_chart(58, start_date="2026-01-01", end_date=today)

Top Performers

# Top gainers
gainers = nepse.get_top_gainers(limit=10)

# Top losers
losers = nepse.get_top_losers(limit=10)

# Top by turnover / trade / transaction
turnover = nepse.get_top_turnover()
trades = nepse.get_top_trade()
trans = nepse.get_top_transaction()

Company Information

# Company news
news = nepse.get_company_news(symbol="NABIL")

# Dividend & AGM
dividends = nepse.get_dividends(symbol="NABIL")
agm = nepse.get_agm(symbol="NABIL")

# Metadata
companies = nepse.get_company_list()
securities = nepse.get_security_list()

Trading Data

# Market depth (Order Book)
depth = nepse.get_market_depth(symbol="NABIL")

# Floorsheet (Transactions)
floorsheet = nepse.get_floorsheet(symbol="NABIL")

# Daily trade statistics for a specific date
stats = nepse.get_daily_trade(date="2026-02-12")

⚡ Advanced Features

Caching

The library includes a built-in LRU caching layer to respect NEPSE's server load and improve performance.

# Customize cache TTL (default: 30s)
nepse = Nepse(cache_ttl=120, enable_cache=True)

# Force fresh data for a single request
stocks = nepse.get_stocks(use_cache=False)

# Manually clear cache
nepse.clear_cache()

Async Support

For web applications or high-frequency polling, use AsyncNepse.

import asyncio
from nepse_data_api import AsyncNepse

async def main():
    nepse = AsyncNepse()
    
    # Parallel fetching
    status, stocks = await asyncio.gather(
        nepse.get_market_status(),
        nepse.get_stocks()
    )
    print(status, len(stocks))

asyncio.run(main())

📊 Performance

Operation	Fresh Request	Cached	Improvement
Market Status	~48ms	~0.01ms	5700x
Stock List	~180ms	~0.02ms	12000x
Top Gainers	~52ms	~0.01ms	5200x
