Documentation for TrueData Nodejs

• Websocket APIs – Live data
• REST APIs – Historical data

Installation

Install via npm

npm install truedata-nodejs

Getting started

const { rtConnect, rtDisconnect, rtSubscribe, rtUnsubscribe, rtFeed, historical, formatTime } = require('truedata-nodejs')

const user = 'your username'
const pwd = 'your password'
const port = 8082

const symbols = ['NIFTY-I', 'BANKNIFTY-I', 'CRUDEOIL-I']; // symbols in array format

Sample code for live data feed

rtConnect(user, pwd, symbols, port, bidask = 1, heartbeat = 1, replay = 0);

rtFeed.on('touchline', touchlineHandler); // Receives Touchline Data
rtFeed.on('tick', tickHandler); // Receives Tick data
rtFeed.on('bidask', bidaskHandler); // Receives Bid Ask Data if enabled
rtFeed.on('bar', barHandler); // Receives 1min and 5min bar data
rtFeed.on('marketstatus', marketStatusHandler) // Receives market status messages

function touchlineHandler(touchline){
    console.log(touchline)
}

function tickHandler(tick){
    console.log(tick)
}

function bidaskHandler(bidask){
    console.log(bidask)
}

function barHandler(bar){
    console.log(bar)
}

function marketStatusHandler(status) {
  console.log(status);
}

Default values and available values

| Default values 	| Available values
| -------------- 	| ----------------
| bidask = 1 		| 0, 1 // 1 = bidask active, 0 = bidask inactive
| heartbeat = 1 	| 0, 1 // 1 = print heartbeat message, 0 = don't print heartbeat message
| replay = 0        | 0, 1 // 1 = Feed replay, 0 = Normal feed ( default - If parameter not entered then replay = 0 )

Subscribe and Unsubscribe symbols dynamically

rtSubscribe( newSymbols )  // Dynamically subscribe to new symbols // newSymbols is array of symbol

rtUnsubscribe( oldSymbols ) // Dynamically unsubscribe from currently subscribed symbols // oldSymbols is array of symbol

Disconnect live data feed

rtDisconnect()  // Disconnect live data feed and close socket connection

Auto re-connect Websocket

The library will check for internet connection and once steady will try to re-connect the Websocket.

Historical REST API

historical.auth(user, pwd); // For authentication.

In case you see a Message: 'Authorization has been denied for this request.' then use

historical.auth(user, pwd, force = true); // For force authentication

from = formatTime(2021, 3, 2, 9, 15) // (year, month, date, hour, minute) // hour in 24 hour format
to = formatTime(2021, 3, 5, 9, 15) // (year, month, date, hour, minute) // hour in 24 hour format

All available API calls

All API calls returns a promise. You can use .then(...) and .catch(...) OR async and await method

• historical.getTickData (symbol, from, to, bidask = 1, response = 'json', getSymbolId = 0) // Max upto last 5 days of tick data
• historical.getBarData (symbol, from, to, interval = '1min', response = 'json', getSymbolId = 0)
• historical.getLastNTicks (symbol, nticks = 2000, bidask = 1, response = 'json', getSymbolId = 0) // Max upto last 5 days of tick data
• historical.getLastNBars (symbol, nbars = 200, interval = '1min', response = 'json', getSymbolId = 0) // interval = '1min' OR 'EOD'
• historical.getBhavCopyStatus (segment = 'FO', response = 'json')
• historical.getBhavCopy (segment = 'FO', date, response = 'json')
• historical.getLTP (symbol, bidask = 1, response = 'json', getSymbolId = 0)
• historical.getTopGainers (topsegment = 'NSEFUT', top = 50, response = 'json')
• historical.getTopLosers (topsegment = 'NSEFUT', top = 50, response = 'json')
• historical.getTopVolumeGainers (topsegment = 'NSEFUT', top = 50, response = 'json')
• historical.getCorpAction (symbol, response = 'json')
• historical.getSymbolNameChange (response = 'json')

Exceptions in :

• historical.getTickData (symbol, from, to, bidask = 1, response = 'json')
• historical.getBarData (symbol, from, to, interval = '1min', response = 'json')

You can use “duration” instead of using “from and to” in both the above functions. If you are using “duration” then, the function will be like:

• historical.getTickData (symbol, duration = '1D' , bidask = 1, response = 'json')
• historical.getBarData (symbol, duration = '2W', interval = '1min', response = 'json')

Durations

• '5D' // D for Day
• '3W' // W for Week
• '2M' // M for Month
• '1Y' // Y for Year

Default values and available values

| Default values            | Available values
| --------------            | ----------------
| response = 'json'         | response :  'json', 'csv'
| bidask =  1               | bidask: 1, 0  // 1 – bidask feed active , 0 – bidask feed inactive
| interval = '1min'         | interval:'1min', '2min', '3min', '5min', '10min', '15min', '30min', '60min', 'EOD'
| nticks = 2000             | nticks:  Any number // Max upto last 5 days of ticks
| nbars = 200               | nbars: Any number
| getSymbolId = 0           | getSymbolId : 1, 0 // 1 - symbolId active , 0 - symbolId inactive
| segment = 'FO'            | segment: 'FO', 'EQ', 'MCX'
| topsegment = 'NSEFUT'     | topsegment: 'NSEFUT', 'NSEEQ', 'NSEOPT', 'CDS', 'MCX'
| top = 50                  | top: Any number

*symbol in historical api is symbol name. For eg: 'NIFTY-I' or 'RELIANCE' etc.
*In historical.getBhavCopy, current date is default. Date format is 'yyyy-mm-dd'

Sample Code

getBarData for a particular symbol using from and to :

historical
    .getBarData('NIFTY-I', '210302T09:00:00', '210302T15:30:00', interval = '1min', response ='json', getSymbolId = 0 )
    .then((res) => console.log(res))
    .catch((err) => console.log(err));

getBarData for a particular symbol using duration :

historical
    .getBarData('NIFTY-I', duration = '3W', interval = '1min', response ='json', getSymbolId = 0)
    .then((res) => console.log(res))
    .catch((err) => console.log(err));
