🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Basic installation (local use)
pip install nse[local]

# Server environment (AWS, Azure, etc.)
pip install nse[server]

# All features (recommended)
pip install nse[all]

# Development
pip install nse[dev]

Basic Usage

from nse import NSE

with NSE(download_folder="./data") as nse:
    # Get market status
    status = nse.status()
    
    # Get stock quote
    quote = nse.equityQuote("HDFCBANK")
    print(f"Price: {quote['close']}")
    
    # Get top gainers
    data = nse.listEquityStocksByIndex("NIFTY 50")
    gainers = nse.gainers(data, count=5)

Async Usage (NEW!)

from nse.async_nse import AsyncNSE
import asyncio

async def main():
    async with AsyncNSE("./data") as nse:
        # Fetch multiple quotes concurrently
        symbols = ["HDFCBANK", "INFY", "TCS", "RELIANCE"]
        quotes = await nse.fetch_multiple_quotes(symbols)
        
        for symbol, quote in quotes.items():
            print(f"{symbol}: {quote['priceInfo']['lastPrice']}")

asyncio.run(main())

CLI Usage (NEW!)

# Get stock quote
nse quote HDFCBANK

# Market status
nse status

# Top gainers
nse gainers --index "NIFTY 50" --count 10

# Top losers
nse losers --index "NIFTY 50" --count 10

# Download bhavcopy
nse bhavcopy --date 2024-01-15 --type equity

Caching (NEW!)

from nse import NSE
from nse.cache import SimpleCache
from pathlib import Path

cache = SimpleCache(Path("./data"), default_ttl=300)

with NSE("./data") as nse:
    symbol = "HDFCBANK"
    
    # Try cache first
    quote = cache.get(f"quote_{symbol}")
    
    if not quote:
        quote = nse.equityQuote(symbol)
        cache.set(f"quote_{symbol}", quote, ttl=60)
    
    print(quote)

Data Export (NEW!)

from nse import NSE
from nse.export import DataExporter
from pathlib import Path

with NSE("./data") as nse:
    data = nse.listEquityStocksByIndex("NIFTY 50")
    
    # Export to CSV
    DataExporter.to_csv(data["data"], Path("nifty50.csv"))
    
    # Export to JSON
    DataExporter.to_json(data["data"], Path("nifty50.json"))
    
    # Export to Parquet (requires pandas)
    DataExporter.to_parquet(data["data"], Path("nifty50.parquet"))

Error Handling (NEW!)

from nse import NSE
from nse.exceptions import NSETimeoutError, NSEInvalidSymbol

with NSE("./data") as nse:
    try:
        quote = nse.quote("INVALID_SYMBOL")
    except NSEInvalidSymbol as e:
        print(f"Invalid symbol: {e}")
    except NSETimeoutError as e:
        print(f"Request timeout: {e}")

🆕 What's New in v2.0

1. Async Support

Fetch multiple quotes concurrently for better performance.

2. Caching Layer

Reduce API calls with built-in file-based cache with TTL.

3. CLI Tool

No coding required for basic operations.

4. Data Export

Export to CSV, JSON, and Parquet formats.

5. Better Error Handling

Custom exception classes for different error types.

6. Retry Logic

Automatic retry with exponential backoff.

7. Logging

Structured logging with file and console output.

8. Type Safety

Data models using dataclasses for better IDE support.

9. CI/CD Pipeline

Automated testing and code quality checks.

10. Enhanced Testing

Comprehensive test suite with async tests.

📊 Performance

• Async operations: 3-5x faster for bulk requests
• Caching: Reduces API calls by 60-80%
• Better connection pooling: Improved reliability

📝 API Limits

All requests through NSE are rate limited to 3 requests per second.

Best Practices:

• Download large reports after market hours
• Add 0.5-1 sec sleep between requests
• Save and reuse files instead of re-downloading
• Use caching for frequently accessed data

🔄 Migration from v1.x

Version 2.0 is 100% backward compatible. All v1.x code works without changes.

New features are additive and optional. See UPGRADE_NOTES.md for details.

📖 Examples

Check the examples/ directory for:

• cache_example.py - Using cache to reduce API calls
• async_example.py - Concurrent quote fetching
• export_example.py - Exporting data to various formats
