Re: Free NSE BSE data downloader (EOD, Indices, Daily & Historical, Bhavcopy download
Version 2.0.6 released
This version contains the following fixes:
1. BSE Indices data download fixed : Technically this was not a bug in Getbhavcopy, however the change at BSE end caused things to break in almost all free data downloaders available. I think Getbhavcopy is the first free NSE and BSE data downloader to provide the fix (not verified). The change at BSE end was that it suddenly changed the sort order of the indices data serach page from ascending to descending.
As a result whenever someone downloads historical BSE data (even two days back is historical), they see the same BSE data repeating for all the dates. This happens because Getbhavcopy will always get today's data for all these historial days from BSE (due to the change in sort order at BSE end). It was not an easy fix but finally after some days of work I was able to get it working. Those who use Getbhavcopy everyday to download the data will not face this issue (so try to be regular with your downloads smile)
Important :
The install instructions for version 2.0.6 are a bit different then all the previous releases. As usual copy the Getbhavcopy.exe and Getbhavcopy.exe.config from the zip file to the existing directory overwriting the existing files. However, this time you need to start Getbhavcopy, go to the Options tab and then set the BSE Indices data download order to 'Descending'. It is extremely important to save the options or else you will keep facing the same issue.
With that done..you are all set to use the new version. I have done a bit less testing this time (to provide a quicker release) so please let me know in case you notice any issues.
2. NIFTY MIDCAP 50 support added : This version will also download indices data for the new NSE index that was created recently.
