About

This package allows you to create stock screeners with TradingView, and retrieve the data directly from the official API (without doing any kind of web-scraping/HTML-parsing).

Some of its main features are:

  • Get data from over 3000 fields, including OHLC, indicators, and fundamental data.
  • Variety of markets, including equities, crypto, forex, futures, and bonds.
  • Choose the timeframe for each field, such as 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day.
  • Filter and sort the results using SQL, a common database language.
  • Create and save screeners to easily monitor the markets and identify trading opportunities.

You can find the docs here, and the source on GitHub.

Quick Guide

Builtin Stock Scanners

from tradingview_screener import Scanner

Some of the pre-built scanners:

>>> Scanner.names()
['premarket_gainers',
 'premarket_losers',
 'premarket_most_active',
 'premarket_gappers',
 'postmarket_gainers',
 'postmarket_losers',
 'postmarket_most_active']

Say we want to get the Pre-Market Gainers:

n_rows, df = Scanner.premarket_gainers.get_scanner_data()

And we get a DataFrame with the data:

>>> df
         ticker  name  ...  premarket_change_abs  premarket_volume
0   NASDAQ:APLM  APLM  ...               0.72200          30551043
1      OTC:RNVA  RNVA  ...               0.00005            200000
2      OTC:OCLN  OCLN  ...               0.00690            220000
3   NASDAQ:BKYI  BKYI  ...               0.09740           8826676
4    NASDAQ:ICU   ICU  ...               0.28790           7527703
..          ...   ...  ...                   ...               ...
45     OTC:BSEM  BSEM  ...               0.25000               200
46     NYSE:SWI   SWI  ...               0.76000              5425
47     NYSE:BPT   BPT  ...               0.45000               380
48    NYSE:HOUS  HOUS  ...               0.39000               200
49   NASDAQ:HCM   HCM  ...               1.40000              1950

[50 rows x 8 columns]

With the following columns:

>>> df.columns
Index(['ticker', 'name', 'close', 'volume', 'market_cap_basic',
       'premarket_change', 'premarket_change_abs', 'premarket_volume'],
      dtype='object')

If you aren't yet familiar with Pandas DataFrames, you can convert the output to a list of dictionaries like so:

>>> df.to_dict('records')[:10]
[
    {'ticker': 'NASDAQ:APLM', 'name': 'APLM', 'close': 0.862, 'volume': 94235502, 'market_cap_basic': 146422699.0, 'premarket_change': 127.11267606, 'premarket_change_abs': 0.722, 'premarket_volume': 30551043}
    {'ticker': 'OTC:RNVA', 'name': 'RNVA', 'close': 0.0001, 'volume': 11050007, 'market_cap_basic': 2993432.0, 'premarket_change': 100.0, 'premarket_change_abs': 5e-05, 'premarket_volume': 200000}
    {'ticker': 'OTC:OCLN', 'name': 'OCLN', 'close': 0.0076, 'volume': 2543494, 'market_cap_basic': 9864586.0, 'premarket_change': 86.25, 'premarket_change_abs': 0.0069, 'premarket_volume': 220000}
    {'ticker': 'NASDAQ:BKYI', 'name': 'BKYI', 'close': 0.22, 'volume': 39926873, 'market_cap_basic': 2036156.0, 'premarket_change': 57.05916813, 'premarket_change_abs': 0.0974, 'premarket_volume': 8826676}
    {'ticker': 'NASDAQ:ICU', 'name': 'ICU', 'close': 1.02, 'volume': 46835892, 'market_cap_basic': 19834890.0, 'premarket_change': 36.3510101, 'premarket_change_abs': 0.2879, 'premarket_volume': 7527703}
    ...
]

Creating Custom Stock Screeners

from tradingview_screener import Query, Column

Create a query (like you would in a SQL database):

(Query()
 .select('name', 'close', 'volume', 'relative_volume_10d_calc', 'market_cap_basic')
 .get_scanner_data())
(18060,
          ticker  name  ...  relative_volume_10d_calc  market_cap_basic
 0      AMEX:SPY   SPY  ...                  1.112917               NaN
 1    NASDAQ:QQQ   QQQ  ...                  1.050254               NaN
 2   NASDAQ:TSLA  TSLA  ...                  0.784272      6.589904e+11
 3   NASDAQ:NVDA  NVDA  ...                  0.819148      1.000350e+12
 4   NASDAQ:AMZN  AMZN  ...                  2.206912      1.310658e+12
 ..          ...   ...  ...                       ...               ...
 45     NYSE:UNH   UNH  ...                  0.898852      4.859952e+11
 46  NASDAQ:DXCM  DXCM  ...                  2.763555      3.449933e+10
 47      NYSE:MA    MA  ...                  1.254684      3.429080e+11
 48    NYSE:ABBV  ABBV  ...                  2.007460      2.452179e+11
 49     AMEX:XLK   XLK  ...                  1.041988               NaN
 [50 rows x 6 columns])

As you may have noticed, there are only 50 rows in our dataframe, while num_rows is 5271,
this is because by default there is a LIMIT of 50, although you can override that by providing your own. But, note that the more results you try to fetch, the more work the server needs to do, and therefore the network request will take more time, so It's something to keep in mind.

A more elaborate query:

(Query()
 .select('name', 'close', 'volume', 'relative_volume_10d_calc')
 .where(
     Column('market_cap_basic').between(1_000_000, 50_000_000),
     Column('relative_volume_10d_calc') > 1.2,
     Column('MACD.macd') >= Column('MACD.signal')
 )
 .order_by('volume', ascending=False)
 .offset(5)
 .limit(25)
 .get_scanner_data())
(393,
          ticker  name     close    volume  relative_volume_10d_calc
 0      OTC:YCRM  YCRM  0.012000  19626514                  1.887942
 1      OTC:PLPL  PLPL  0.000200  17959914                  3.026059
 2   NASDAQ:ABVC  ABVC  1.380000  16295824                  1.967505
 3      OTC:TLSS  TLSS  0.000900  15671157                  1.877976
 4      OTC:GVSI  GVSI  0.012800  14609774                  2.640792
 ..          ...   ...       ...       ...                       ...
 15    AMEX:TPET  TPET  0.483999   2707793                  3.141248
 16     OTC:PWDY  PWDY  0.000700   2138674                  1.802687
 17  NASDAQ:FGEN  FGEN  0.476100   1846644                  1.385978

 [20 rows x 5 columns])

How it works

When you call a method like select() or where() on the Query object, it updates a dictionary that contains all the data to send to the API.

For example, the previous query creates the following dictionary:

{
    'markets': ['america'],
    'symbols': {'query': {'types': []}, 'tickers': []},
    'options': {'lang': 'en'},
    'columns': ['name', 'close', 'volume', 'relative_volume_10d_calc'],
    'sort': {'sortBy': 'volume', 'sortOrder': 'desc'},
    'range': [5, 25],
    'filter': [
        {'left': 'market_cap_basic', 'operation': 'in_range', 'right': [1000000, 50000000]},
        {'left': 'relative_volume_10d_calc', 'operation': 'greater', 'right': 1.2},
        {'left': 'MACD.macd', 'operation': 'egreater', 'right': 'MACD.signal'},
    ],
}

When the get_scanner_data() method is called, it will dump that dictionary as a JSON and send it to the API.

Using this package, you can access and query TradingView data with a simple SQL syntax, without needing to know the details of the TradingView's API.

Rate limiting

I have been asked if the API has a rate limit, and to be honest I don't know. I haven't had any issues with doing too many requests.

However, it is important to be mindful of the server load. When you are doing a query, don't request too many fields or more rows than you need. It's recommended to always use the limit() method.
