• Output data as: json, csv, pandas
• Full support for static and dynamic charts.

Free API Key is required. It might be requested here

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install Twelve Data API library (without optional dependencies):

pip install twelvedata

Or install with pandas support:

pip install twelvedata[pandas]

Or install with pandas, matplotlib and plotly support used for charting:

pip install twelvedata[pandas,matplotlib,plotly]

Usage

• Time series
• Technical Indicators
• Batch requests
• Charts

Time series

• TDClient requires apikey parameter. It accepts all common parameters.
• TDClient.time_series() accepts all common parameters. Time series may be converted to several formats:
  • TDClient.time_series().as_json() - will return JSON array
  • TDClient.time_series().as_csv() - will return CSV with header
  • TDClient.time_series().as_pandas() - will return pandas.DataFrame

from twelvedata import TDClient
# Initialize client - apikey parameter is requiered
td = TDClient(apikey="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")
# Construct the necessary time serie
ts = td.time_series(
    symbol="AAPL",
    interval="1min",
    outputsize=10,
    timezone="America/New_York",
)
# Returns pandas.DataFrame
ts.as_pandas()

Technical indicators

This Python library supports all indicators implemented by Twelve Data. Full list of 90+ technical indicators may be found in API Documentation.

• Technical indicators are part of TDClient.time_series() object.
• It has universal format TDClient.time_series().with_{Technical Indicator Name}, e.g. .with_bbands(), .with_percent_b(), .with_macd()
• Indicator object accepts all parameters according to its specification in API Documentation, e.g. .with_bbands() accepts: series_type, time_period, sd, ma_type. If parameter is not provided it will be set to default.
• Indicators may be used in arbitrary order and conjugated, e.g. TDClient.time_series().with_aroon().with_adx().with_ema()
• By default, technical indicator will output with OHLC values. If you do not need OHLC, specify TDClient.time_series().without_ohlc()

from twelvedata import TDClient

td = TDClient(apikey="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")
ts = td.time_series(
    symbol="ETH/BTC",
    exchange="Huobi",
    interval="5min",
    outputsize=22,
    timezone="America/New_York",
)
# Returns: OHLC, BBANDS(close, 20, 2, EMA), PLUS_DI(9), WMA(20), WMA(40)
ts.with_bbands(ma_type="EMA").with_plus_di().with_wma(time_period=20).with_wma(time_period=40).as_pandas()

# Returns: STOCH(14, 1, 3, SMA, SMA), TSF(close, 9)
ts.without_ohlc().with_stoch().with_tsf().as_json()

Batch requests

With batch requests up to 120 symbols might be returned per single API call. There are two options on how to do this:

# 1. Pass instruments symbols as a string delimited by comma (,)
ts = td.time_series(
    symbol="V, RY, AUD/CAD, BTC/USD:Huobi"
)

# 2. Pass as a list of symbols 
ts = td.time_series(
    symbol=["V", "RY", "AUD/CAD", "BTC/USD:Huobi"]
)

Important. Batch requests are only supported with .as_json() and .as_pandas() formats.

With .as_json() the output will be a dictionary with passed symbols as keys. The value will be a tuple with quotes, just the same as with a single request.

ts = td.time_series(symbol='AAPL,MSFT', interval="1min", outputsize=3)
df = ts.with_macd().with_macd(fast_period=10).with_stoch().as_json()

With .as_pandas() the output will be a 3D DataFrame with MultiIndex for (symbol, datetime).

Charts

• Static
• Interactive

Charts support OHLC, technical indicators and custom bars.

Static

Static charting is based on matplotlib library. Make sure you have installed it.

• Use .as_pyplot_figure()

from twelvedata import TDClient

td = TDClient(apikey="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")
ts = td.time_series(
    symbol="MSFT",
    outputsize=75,
    interval="1day",
)
# 1. Returns OHLCV chart
ts.as_pyplot_figure()

# 2. Returns OHLCV + BBANDS(close, 20, 2, SMA) + %B(close, 20, 2 SMA) + STOCH(14, 3, 3, SMA, SMA)
ts.with_bbands().with_percent_b().with_stoch(slow_k_period=3).as_pyplot_figure()

Interactive

Interactive charting is based on plotly library. Make sure you have installed it.

• Use .as_plotly_figure()

from twelvedata import TDClient

td = TDClient(apikey="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")
ts = td.time_series(
    symbol="DNR",
    outputsize=50,
    interval="1week",
)
# 1. Returns OHLCV chart
ts.as_plotly_figure()

# 2. Returns OHLCV + EMA(close, 7) + MAMA(close, 0.5, 0.05) + MOM(close, 9) + MACD(close, 12, 26, 9)
ts.with_ema(time_period=7).with_mama().with_mom().with_macd().as_plotly_figure()
