tradingview-screener's Introduction

Overview

tradingview-screener is a Python package that allows you to create custom stock screeners using TradingView's official API. This package retrieves data directly from TradingView without the need for web scraping or HTML parsing.

Key Features

  • Access Over 3000 Fields: Retrieve data, including OHLC, indicators, and fundamental metrics.
  • Multiple Markets: Screen equities, crypto, forex, futures, and bonds.
  • Customizable Timeframes: Choose timeframes like 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour, or 1 day for each field.
  • Filter and sort the results using a SQL-like syntax, with support for And/Or operators for advanced filtering.

Installation

Install the package via pip:

pip install tradingview-screener

Documentation & Source Code

Quickstart

Here’s a simple example to get you started:

from tradingview_screener import Query

(Query()
 .select('name', 'close', 'volume', 'market_cap_basic')
 .get_scanner_data())

Output:

(17580,
          ticker  name   close     volume  market_cap_basic

 [50 rows x 5 columns])

By default, the result is limited to 50 rows. You can adjust this limit, but be mindful of server load and potential bans.

A more advanced query:

from tradingview_screener import Query, col

(Query()
 .select('name', 'close', 'volume', 'relative_volume_10d_calc')
 .where(
     col('market_cap_basic').between(1_000_000, 50_000_000),
     col('relative_volume_10d_calc') > 1.2,
     col('MACD.macd') >= col('MACD.signal')
 )
 .order_by('volume', ascending=False)
 .offset(5)
 .limit(25)
 .get_scanner_data())

Real-Time Data Access

To access real-time data, you need to pass your session cookies, as even free real-time data requires authentication.

Checking Update Modes

You can run this query to get an overview on the update_mode you get for each exchange:

from tradingview_screener import Query

_, df = Query().select('exchange', 'update_mode').limit(1_000_000).get_scanner_data()
df.groupby('exchange')['update_mode'].value_counts()
exchange  update_mode          
AMEX      delayed_streaming_900    3255
NASDAQ    delayed_streaming_900    4294
NYSE      delayed_streaming_900    2863
OTC       delayed_streaming_900    7129

Example

You can load the cookies from your local browser using rookiepy:

  1. Install rookiepy:

    pip install rookiepy
  2. Load the cookies:

    import rookiepy
    cookies = rookiepy.to_cookiejar(rookiepy.chrome(['.tradingview.com']))  # replace chrome() with your browser
  3. Pass the cookies when querying:

    Query().get_scanner_data(cookies=cookies)

Now, if you re-run the update mode check:

_, df = Query().select('exchange', 'update_mode').limit(1_000_000).get_scanner_data(cookies=cookies)
df.groupby('exchange')['update_mode'].value_counts()
exchange  update_mode          
AMEX      streaming                3256
NASDAQ    streaming                4286
NYSE      streaming                2860
OTC       delayed_streaming_900    7175

We now get live-data for all exchanges except OTC.

Alternative Methods for Loading Cookies

Extract Cookies Manually

Click to unfold example
  1. Go to TradingView

  2. Open the developer tools (Ctrl + Shift + I)

  3. Navigate to the Application tab.

  4. Go to Storage > Cookies > https://www.tradingview.com/

  5. Copy the value of sessionid

  6. Pass it in your query:

    cookies = {'sessionid': '<your-session-id>'}
    Query().get_scanner_data(cookies=cookies)

Authenticate via API

Click to unfold example

While it's possible to authenticate directly via API, TradingView has restrictions on login frequency, which may result in CAPTCHA requests and account flagging (meaning this method won't work again until the cooldown expires and the CAPTCHA is gone).
If you wish to proceed, here’s how:

from http.cookiejar import CookieJar

import requests
from tradingview_screener import Query


def authenticate(username: str, password: str) -> CookieJar:
    session = requests.Session()
    r = session.post(
       'https://www.tradingview.com/accounts/signin/', 
       headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0', 'Referer': 'https://www.tradingview.com'}, 
       data={'username': username, 'password': password, 'remember': 'on'}, 
       timeout=60,
    )
    r.raise_for_status()
    if r.json().get('error'):
        raise Exception(f'Failed to authenticate: \n{r.json()}')
    return session.cookies


cookies = authenticate('<your-username-or-email>', '<your-password>')
Query().get_scanner_data(cookies=cookies)

Robustness & Longevity

This package is designed to be future-proof. All columns and markets are documented on the website, which is updated daily via a GitHub Actions script, reducing dependency on hardcoded values.

How It Works

When using methods like select() or where(), the Query object constructs a dictionary representing the API request. Here’s an example of the dictionary generated:

{
    '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'},
    ],
}

The get_scanner_data() method sends this dictionary as a JSON payload to the TradingView API, allowing you to query data using SQL-like syntax without knowing the specifics of the API.
