truedata-ws 4.0.4

Truedata's Official Python Package

Official Python repository for TrueData (Market Data APIs)

---

This Python library attempts to make it easy for you to connect to TrueData Market Data Apis, thereby allowing you to concentrate on startegy development, while this library works to get you all the data you need from the TrueData backend both for Real Time & Historical.

Please make sure you follow us on our Telegram channel where we push a lot of information with regards to API updates, implementation ideas, tips & tricks to use this library & raw feed, etc...

• TrueData Market Data API - Telegram Channel
• TrueData Market Data APIs - Website

We have also built a sandbox environmemt for testing the raw feed. Please feel free to use this environment to check/test/compare your results with the raw data feed (real time & historical).

• TrueData Market Data API - Sandbox Environment

We are trying to improve this library continuously and feedback for the same is welcome.

Getting Started

Installation

• Installing the truedata-ws library from PyPi

python3 -m pip install truedata_ws

or

pip3 install truedata_ws

Minimum Requirements

The minimum required versions are:-

- Python >= 3.7

In-built dependencies

All these dependancies should get installed automatically when you install the truedata_ws library. In case of an issue, make sure you meet the requirements as mentioned below.

- websocket-client>=0.57.0
- colorama>=0.4.3
- python-dateutil>=2.8.1
- pandas>=1.0.3
- setuptools>=50.3.2
- requests>=2.25.0

Connecting / Logging in

• Connecting / Logging in (Both Real time & Historical data feed subscriptions)

from truedata_ws.websocket.TD import TD
td_obj = TD('<enter_your_login_id>', '<enter_your_password>')
# This connects you to the default real time port which is 8082 & the REST History feed. 
# If you have been authourised on another live port please enter another parameter
# Example
# td_obj = TD('<enter_your_login_id>', '<enter_your_password>', live_port=8084)

• Connecting / Logging in (For Historical Data Subscription Only)

from truedata_ws.websocket.TD import TD
td_obj = TD('<enter_your_login_id>', '<enter_your_password>', live_port=None)

• Connecting / Logging in (For Real time Data Subscription Only)

from truedata_ws.websocket.TD import TD
td_obj = TD('<enter_your_login_id>', '<enter_your_password>', historical_api=False)

Automatic Reconnection of Real Time Streaming Feed

In case of a Websocket disconnection, the library will check for the internet connection and once the connection is steady, it will try to re-connect the Websocket, automatically.

Once the websocket connection is re-established, the library will automatically re-subscribe the symbols & restart the live data seamlessly.

Logging

We have integrated the python stdlib logger. You can provide LOG_LEVEL and LOG_FORMAT if you want.

from truedata_ws.websocket.TD import TD
import logging
td_obj = TD('<enter_your_login_id>', '<enter_your_password>', log_level=logging.WARNING, log_format="(%(asctime)s) %(levelname)s :: %(message)s (PID:%(process)d Thread:%(thread)d)")

Additional LOG_LEVEL info can be found at https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging-levels.

Additional LOG_FORMAT info can be found at https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logrecord-attributes.

If you really know what you are doing, you can simply provide a log handler.

td_obj = TD('<enter_your_login_id>', '<enter_your_password>', log_handler=log_handler_obj)

---

Real Time Data Streaming (Live)

• Starting Live Data For Multiple symbols

req_ids = td_obj.start_live_data(['<symbol_1>', '<symbol_2>', '<symbol_3>', ...])
# Example:
# req_ids = td_obj.start_live_data(['CRUDEOIL-I', 'BANKNIFTY-I', 'RELIANCE', 'ITC'])
# This returns a list that can be used to reference data later

• Accessing Touchline Data

The touchline data is useful post market hours as this provides the last updates / settlement updates / snap quotes.

Please note that it is not recommended to use this during market hours as all the fields of the touchline data already form a part of the real time market data feed.

import time
time.sleep(1)
# You need to wait until for 1 sec for all of the touchline data to populate
for req_id in req_ids:
    print(td_obj.touchline_data[req_id])

• Accessing live streaming data

All updated relevant live data can be found in the object at td_obj.live_data[req_id].

For more details try: print(f"{type(td_obj.live_data[req_id])} -> {td_obj.live_data[req_id]})

last_traded_price = td_obj.live_data[req_id].ltp
change_perc = td_obj.live_data[req_id].change_perc
day_high = td_obj.live_data[req_id].day_high
highest_available_bid = td_obj.live_data[req_id].best_bid_price

The code can be used for if you are subscribed to tick only or minute only streaming. If you are using tick+min streaming, then, tick data can be found at td_obj.live_data[req_id] and, the minute bar data can be found at td_obj.min_live_data[req_id].

• Stopping live data

td_obj.stop_live_data(['<symbol_1>', '<symbol_2>', '<symbol_3>', ...])

• Disconnect from the WebSocket service

td_obj.disconnect()

• QUICK START LIVE DATA CODE

If you simply want to print data in the format given, try the code just below that.

Symbol > LTP > Change

req_ids = td_obj.start_live_data(symbols)
live_data_objs = {}

time.sleep(1)

for req_id in req_ids:
    live_data_objs[req_id] = deepcopy(td_obj.live_data[req_id])

while True:
    for req_id in req_ids:
        if not td_obj.live_data[req_id] == live_data_objs[req_id]:
            print(f'{td_obj.live_data[req_id].symbol} > {td_obj.live_data[req_id].ltp} > {td_obj.live_data[req_id].change:.2f}')
            live_data_objs[req_id] = deepcopy(td_obj.live_data[req_id])

• CONVERTING REAL TIME STREAM TO DICT

In some cases, some people may need to convert the real time stream to dict. This could be either to push the real time stream into pandas, a SQL database or work with processing the stream differently at your end.

So, if you need to convert the Real Time Stream to dict, use the to_dict() function.

td_obj.live_data[req_id].to_dict()

Here is a sample code to push the data into a pandas Dataframe. Please adapt to your code as this is just a sample and there could be better ways to do the same thing more efficiently.

from truedata_ws.websocket.TD import TD
import time
import pandas as pd
from copy import deepcopy

td_obj = TD('<enter_your_login_id>', '<enter_your_password>')

symbols = ['CRUDEOIL-I', 'GOLD-I', 'NIFTY-I']
symbol_ids = td_obj.get_req_id_list(2000, len(symbols))  # symbol_ids = list(range(2000, 2000+len(symbols)))

live_data_objs = {}
td_obj.start_live_data(symbols, req_id=symbol_ids)
time.sleep(1)

for symbol_id in symbol_ids:
	live_data_objs[symbol_id] = deepcopy(td_obj.live_data[symbol_id])

df = pd.DataFrame()
# pd.set_option("display.max_rows", None, "display.max_columns", None)

while True:
	time.sleep(0.05)
	for req_id in symbol_ids:
		if td_obj.live_data[req_id] != live_data_objs[req_id]:
			live_data_objs[req_id] = deepcopy(td_obj.live_data[req_id])
			if td_obj.live_data[req_id].tick_type == 1:  # picking up trade packets & discarding only bid ask packets
				op_dict = deepcopy(td_obj.live_data[req_id].to_dict())
				temp_df = pd.DataFrame.from_records([op_dict])
				# temp_df = pd.DataFrame(op_dict, index=[0])  # BOTH WORK
				df = df.append(temp_df, ignore_index=True)
				print(df)  # just printing out the df with each update

---

Option Chain Streaming

Starting Option chain data for a symbol

from datetime import datetime as dt
from truedata_ws.websocket.TD import TD

td_obj = TD('<enter_your_login_id>', '<enter_your_password>')

nifty_chain = td_obj.start_option_chain( 'NIFTY' , dt(2021 , 8 , 26) )
# this line enabling option chain for NIFTY with corresponding expiry. 

• start_option_chain function takes following arguments:
  • symbols for egs: NIFTY , BANKNIFTY , SBIN etc......
  • expiry : date (date object)
  • chain_length : number of strike need to pull with respect to future prices. default value is 10 (int)
  • bid_ask : enable live quote . default value is false (boolean)
  • market_close : extra parameter for updating the chain in extra NSE session like (muhurat session) , default is False

Pulling option chain

df = nifty_chain.get_option_chain()
#this line returns a dataframe that contain option chain for repective symbol

this get_option_chain function can call anywhere that will return respective option chain

Stop option chain update when

nifty_chain.stop_option_chain()
#this function call will stop updating the respective option chain. 

example for pulling option chain and live data from

• common mistake people doing is leaving while loop without putting proper time sleep .

from truedata_ws.websocket.TD import TD
from copy import deepcopy
import time
import logging
from datetime import datetime as dt

td_obj = TD('<your_login>', '<your_password>' , log_level= logging.WARNING )

symbols = ['BANKNIFTY-I' , 'NIFTY 50' , 'NIFTY21072915600CE' , 'SBIN' ]
#starting live data for symbols 
req_ids = td_obj.start_live_data(symbols)
live_data_objs = {}
time.sleep(1)

# initilizing option chain with symbol expiry chain length(optional) , bid ask (optional)
sbi_chain = td_obj.start_option_chain( 'SBIN', dt(2021 , 8 , 26) )
bnf_chain = td_obj.start_option_chain( 'BANKNIFTY', dt(2021 , 8 , 26) , chain_length = 20 )
nifty_chain = td_obj.start_option_chain( 'NIFTY', dt(2021 , 8 , 26), chain_length = 10, bid_ask = True)
time.sleep(2)

for req_id in req_ids:
    live_data_objs[req_id] = deepcopy(td_obj.live_data[req_id])

count = 1
while True:
    for req_id in req_ids:
        if not td_obj.live_data[req_id] == live_data_objs[req_id]:
            #this will priint live tick that requested 
            print( f'{td_obj.live_data[req_id].symbol} ==> {td_obj.live_data[req_id].ltp}')
            live_data_objs[req_id] = deepcopy(td_obj.live_data[req_id])
            # fetching option chain every 50 ticks
            if count % 50 == 0:
                print(sbi_chain.get_option_chain())
                print(nifty_chain.get_option_chain())
                print(bnf_chain.get_option_chain())
            count += 1
    time.sleep(0.05)  # important otherwise cpu will overthrottle.

Historical Data

Historical Data is provided over REST (from the backend) using Start time, End time or Duration

• Using no parameters

hist_data_1 = td_obj.get_historic_data('BANKNIFTY-I')
# This returns 1 minute bars from the start of the present day until current time

• Using a given duration (For available duration options, please read the limitations section)

hist_data_2 = td_obj.get_historic_data('BANKNIFTY-I', duration='3 D')

• Using a specified bar_size (For available bar_size options, please read the limitations section)

hist_data_3 = td_obj.get_historic_data('BANKNIFTY-I', bar_size='30 mins')

• Using start time INSTEAD of duration

from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta
hist_data_4 = td_obj.get_historic_data('BANKNIFTY-I', start_time=datetime.now()-relativedelta(days=3))

• Using a specific ending time

from datetime import datetime
hist_data_5 = td_obj.get_historic_data('BANKNIFTY-I', end_time=datetime(2021, 3, 5, 12, 30))
# Any time can be given here

• Using a specific number of bars (Enabled for Tick, 1 min & EOD bars)

You can specify the number of bars (or ticks) which you want to see or use in your code. This is currently enabled for Ticks , 1 min bars & EOD Bars.

hist_data_6=td_app.get_n_historical_bars(symbol, no_of_bars=30, bar_size=barsize

• Enabling / Disabling Bid Ask data with Tick Data History

If you have subscribed for Historical Bid Ask (not activated by default), you can control the visibility of this data depending upon your needs by setting the bidask parameter to True, like, bidask=True.

hist_data_7 = td_obj.get_historic_data(symbol, duration='1 D', bar_size='tick', bidask=True)

Default bidask=False

• Storing data for later use

Until v3.x.x, requested data was stored in the td_obj at td_obj.hist_data[req_id].

As of v4.0.1, you need to explicitly provide a ticker_id to store the data for later use. For example,

td_obj.get_historic_data('BANKNIFTY-I', ticker_id=1000)
# At any later point
print(td_obj.hist_data[1000])

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Now that we have covered the basic parameters, you can mix and match the parameters as you please. If a parameter is not specified, the defaults are as follows

end_time = datetime.now()
duration = "1 D"
bar_size = "1 min"

• Example of mix and match

hist_data_8 = td_obj.get_historic_data('BANKNIFTY-I', duration='3 D', bar_size='15 mins')

On a side note: You can convert historical data to Pandas DataFrames with a single line

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(hist_data_1)

Get Bhavcopy

This function enables you to get the NSE & MCX bhavcopies for the day / date.

eq_bhav = td_obj.get_bhavcopy('EQ')
fo_bhav = td_obj.get_bhavcopy('FO')
mcx_bhav = td_obj.get_bhavcopy('MCX')

The request checks if the latest completed bhavcopy has arrived for that segment and, if arrived, it returns the data.

In case it has not arrived it provides the date and time of the last bhavcopy available which can also be pulled by providing the bhavcopy date.

*No complete bhavcopy found for requested date. Last available for 2021-03-19 16:46:00.*

In this case, if you need the bhavcopy of the date provided, you can get it by giving the date for which the bhavcopy is required as shown below..

specific_bhav = td_obj.get_bhavcopy('EQ', date=datetime.datetime(2021, 3, 19))

Limitations and caveats for historical data

1. If you provide both duration and start time, duration will be used and start time will be ignored.

2. If you provide neither duration nor start time, duration = "1 D" will be used

3. If you donot provide the bar size bar_size = "1 min" will be used

4. The following BAR_SIZES are available:

   • tick
   • 1 min
   • 2 mins
   • 3 mins
   • 5 mins
   • 10 mins
   • 15 mins
   • 30 mins
   • 60 mins
   • EOD

5. The following annotation can be used for DURATION:-

   • D = Days
   • W = Weeks
   • M = Months
   • Y = Years

Example Strategies

Here we cover 4 sample strategies, the first 2 use a constant state check mechanism and, the last 2 use a callback.

Strategy 1

• Tick based
• State Check
• BUY when past 50 ticks SMA goes above 100 ticks SMA.
• SELLS when past 50 ticks SMA goes below 100 ticks SMA.

Strategy 2

• Minute Bar based
• State Check
• BUY when past 50 bars close SMA goes above 100 bars close SMA.
• SELLS when past 50 bars close SMA goes below 100 bars close SMA.

Strategy 3

• Tick based
• Callback
• BUY when past 50 ticks SMA goes above 100 ticks SMA.
• SELLS when past 50 ticks SMA goes below 100 ticks SMA.

Strategy 4

• Minute Bar based
• Callback
• BUY when past 50 bars close SMA goes above 100 bars close SMA.
• SELLS when past 50 bars close SMA goes below 100 bars close SMA.

Differences between State Check and Callback strategies

• In the context of this library, callbacks are meant to be light-weight. Primarily used for quick POCs and other speedy development.
• The callback execution happens on the websocket thread and will therefore be harder to divvy up computation across processing cores.

Test Suite - Historical & Real time data

1. Please copy this code and paste > run it in your python environment.
2. You need to enter your login id & password to make this code works
3. This code first downloads Historical data in 9 different ways and also shows you the commands used to get that data
4. The Historical data is then put into a pandas Dataframe also.
5. Please note that if the market is closed on the test day, you will get 'No Data Exists for ' returns for the current day's data tests.
6. Real time Live Data tests come towards the end and include printing of the touchline data followed by the live real time data stream.

• If you are subscribed to tick+min streaming, you can access the min bar data at td_obj.min_live_data[req_id] in additional to your tick feed at td_obj.live_data[req_id].
• Log Handler added + logging convenience parameters added + logging README section
• Examples added to repo.
• Examples + descriptions + differences updated in README.
