Sorry for belated reply...I was on vacation. I'm looking at the error. Sounds like NSE URL has some issues or blocking downloads! I'll check that...

Dear xtalk

It appears that NSE wants allow browser requests only and not requests from software, may be to reduce the load on their servers.

Updating of Nifty & Junior watchlists everyday the EOD data is downloaded may be unnecessary load on servers and whether it can be kept as an option may be looked into. This updation is to sum up the volumes of the constituent stocks.

Regards.

Hey Everybody.

Have been reading up on this forum since the past few days as I just started learning technical analysis.

I'm an entrepreneur and software professional, so even though I'm a newbie at tech analysis,I can be of help here.

This is directed to the coder (xtalk) that made this app.

NSE is checking for the "Accept" and "Referer" header to block requests from your app.

I tested this in this manner using a http debugger

The url that your app tries to access is

http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_niftylist.csv

Now one can access that from a browser but your app gets sent a 403 forbidden response.

I wrote a few lines of code that are able to access this url successfully, so if you do the same, your app will work again :clap:

I would request you to implement the same into your app and give us guys an updated version ( I'm really looking forward to it..)


Codes in VB.net.. I would assume that if you are coding in c# you would find the equivalent

Sub getNSEData()
        Try

            objRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_niftylist.csv")


            With objRequest

                .UserAgent = "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.10) Gecko/20070216 Firefox/1.5.0.10"
                .KeepAlive = False
                .Method = "GET"
                .AllowAutoRedirect = True
                '.Referer = "http://nseindia.com/marketinfo/companyinfo/companysearch.jsp?cons=HDFC&section=7"
                .CookieContainer = CC
                .Timeout = 60 * 1000
                .Headers.Add("Pragma", "no-cache")
                .Headers.Add("Cache-Control", "no-cache")


                .Accept = "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8"


        

                .ServicePoint.Expect100Continue = False


            End With



           

            objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse()

           



            Dim sReader As New IO.StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream)

            Dim HTML As String = sReader.ReadToEnd()


        Catch ex As Exception
           msgbox(ex.ToString())

        End Try

    End Sub

Please contact me in case you need help.. lets get this fixed :thumb:
