Recently I have created an EOD quotes downloader for NSE (National Stock Exchange) listed companies that downloads data by date. This time, I have made the same but for the BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange).
As with the NSE downloader, the data comes directly from the exchange website (in this case bseindia.com) and is downloaded by date. You enter the start and end dates and the item downloads the necessary data (After creating URLs, downloading ZIP files, decompressing data, and parsing it).
Two more fields could be added to the downloader. The total turnover of a scrip and a field that tells whether bonus, rights, stock split, dividend or scheme of arrangement occurred in a company. These two fields data could be easily imported by creating a custom database and updating the downloader so that it gets these data and fills your previously created database.
Note:
- The symbols are automatically added to your database.
- The Open Interest field contains the number of trades while the Volume field contains the number of traded shares for a specific date and a specific company.
- According to the BSE website, the last quotes data is available after 4.45 p.m.
Here is a BSE symbols list: Although a list of symbols is not necessary (the current item automatically adds new symbols), it could be helpful to get the company titles with the symbol names. BSE Stock Exchange
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
