Free NSE BSE data downloader (EOD, Indices, Daily & Historical, Bhavcopy downloader)

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.

Hi hemen

With your findings of changing sort order of indices by BSE I checked up if EODDlc is still getting Indices and yes it was getting it so not broken by sort order.

It does download all NSE indices (9 so far available, don't know if new indices added) as well as BSE indices.

NCDex is still going well so far.

I have some issues with MCX downloading which I hope will be sorted out.

Difficulty in finding enough time and concentration to do that.


This also proves one point that all free data downloaders need to have active support and feedback to sortout arising issues and are highly dependent on data providers benevolence.


Since you are actively involved in development of your wonderful utility getbhavcopy, it is more reliable than otherswhich have sporadic support and feedback

congrates and hope you continue further development.

Sir, the BSE dat does not have the names of scripts, just their numeric coding?
can something be done to switch to names also as in case of NSE?

Hi hemen ji,
Y does not BSE EoD data has in this format?
<TICKER>,<NAME>,<OPEN>,<HIGH>,<LOW>,<CLOSE>,<VOL>,<DATE>

The name of ticker is missing? can it not be incorporated too alongwith Deliverable Volume as it does in case of NSE EoD data?

This is an issue with the NSE server when it has not generated the index data as yet. This will get automatically resolved. Try after some time....
