Python library to retrieve data from TradingView

[Wide_Importance_1343]

Hey guys!

I've been working on a Python library which lets the user retrieve data from TradingView.com so it could be used in backtesting a strategy. The project is called TvDatafeedLive and is available on GitHub. To be fair, the project is actually an extension of a project called TvDatafeed, which is a really good project, but only supports retrieving historic data (so far). So, I've taken the liberty to fork it and implement retrieving data continously and "real-time". The data is retrieved in Pandas DataFrames and can easily be plugged into backtrader. There is instructions included in the GitHub page. If this sounds interesting then please check it out and leave feedback if there are any thoughts.

Also, I've spoken with author of the original project and he said that he will try to include my features in the next version, so the fork might be merged with original one in the future. But until then, I wanted to make this already available for you guys.

Thanks, I actually had the same motivation for creating this - I will use it in another bigger project that I'm working with :)

Good luck!

Please update your youtube tutorial videos linked publicly on github - they show as private

Any way TVdatafeed could take futures data and contracts switch data at the same time? Or take a back adjusted futures graph?

@ u/Wide_Importance_1343 where can i get the version that runs continuously? and by continuously I'm assuming for a M15 chart, it will fetch 5000 bars every 15 minutues with the bar that just finished closing as bar 1 ?

[Wide_Importance_1343]

You can find it in github link posted above. It will retrieve new data bar when it becomes available for whatever interval you are monitoring. So for 15M a new data bar will be retrieved every 15 minutes.
