Another Bhavcopy Downloader (ABCD)
- Thread starter josh1
- Start date
ABCD works pretty well, downloaded 3 years data easily. When does NSE update bhavcopy data ?
Also, if someone needs to take only few scrips - you can do it easily using grep
you can get grep.exe for windows easily, i wrote barebones ahk script using grep and it works fine for me. and can push to AB using mike's ImportRT.js
Also, if someone needs to take only few scrips - you can do it easily using grep
Code:
grep.exe -h -w -E "LT|MARUTI|PFC|TATAMOTORS|TATASTEEL" NSE/* > output.csvJosh, if in case you are going to be upgrading ABCD, a couple of 'wishlist' points (if feasible for implementation 
1. I kinda liked the previous version wherein one could have a say in deciding what to download (the one which had the option of inputting only the required indices in a text file). Possibly, a checkbox control for choice of download - indices/ equities/ futures & options data (all together or individual segments), would be a nice feature to have.
2. The provision of additional facility for deciding which indices to download as per user requirement (via the text file method) would enhance further flexibility.
3. The provision of OI data field for equities (a la GBC) would be a welcome addition.
P.S - Am aware that any 'well meaning' wishlist puts a tremendous burden of increased workload upon any developer, hence these are just suggestions which I felt would make the utility more versatile (in addition to what is discussed above). So don't shoot the suggester

Yessss ABCD now detects week ends and skips them (default) optionally.
Yessss. It also detects existing files and skips download. If you want to download again, delete existing files.
Try to understand this..
Prior to 1-12-2015, NSE used to provide index historical data from here ..
http://nseindia.com/content/indices/histdata/Name of IndexDateDate.csv
for example -- http://nseindia.com/content/indices/histdata/CNX NIFTY01-06-2014-24-06-2014.csv
That means there was separate file for each index and different URL. I did not want to clutter code by hard coding URL for each index. Hence I created text file and read the Names of Index to change the URL.
NSE suddenly changed the index names on 9-11-2015 (was it tribute to World Trade Centre deaths?) . Fortunately, I could resolve the issue by changing Index names in Text file. Code change was not required.
On 1-12-2015, NSE decided to increase number of indices and also started disbursing data for all of them in single file.
New URL is this --
"http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_close_all_Date.csv"
Code change was required. Therefore, text file with index names became redundant.
The option available to you earlier was because of NSE and now it is not available because of NSE. Efforts required to give that option again is uneconomical.
There are 1600 plus scrips in NSE equity which you are carrying in your data base. Out of these, at least 500 are useless for trading. What difference does is make if you add another 30 index scrips which you don't use? Just ignore them.

Checkbox controls are already there
3. The provision of OI data field for equities (a la GBC) would be a welcome addition.
OI field is already provided in FnO files. It is not there in equities. Exchange doesn't give
2. The provision of additional facility for deciding which indices to download as per user requirement (via the text file method) would enhance further flexibility.
