Hi @krishnavelu,

I'm unable to close the websocket object once I unsubscribe the instrument. I had been prototyping in jupyter notebook and see that the websocket does not close once subscribed.

How can I manually close it?

so if you try this order

    r = alice.place_order(transaction_type = TransactionType.Buy,
             instrument = alice.get_instrument_by_symbol('MCX', 'GOLDPETAL FEB FUT'),
             quantity = 1,
             order_type = OrderType.StopLossLimit,
             product_type = ProductType.Delivery,
             price = 3961.0,
             trigger_price = 3961.0,
             stop_loss = None,
             square_off = None,
             trailing_sl = None,
             is_amo = False)

You will have issue putting order , as goldpetal is MCX commodity but only delivry is allowed , so ProductType should be NRML in this case , I have modified code as below and it is working now .

        elif(product_type == ProductType.Delivery):
            
            print(instrument.token)
            if(instrument.exchange == 'NFO'):
                product_type = 'NRML'
            elif(instrument.exchange == 'MCX' and str(instrument.symbol).split()[0] == 'GOLDPETAL'):
                product_type = 'NRML'
            else:
                product_type = 'CNC'
        elif(product_type == ProductType.CoverOrder):

sorry for fast write up , but hope you will understand.

Hey,
I just opened my demat account with Alice Blue and couldn't find anything related to API on their website. I called their customer support too but did not get any proper response. It would be great if you could provide me with a link from which I can activate the API and get my API Secret.

Thankyou,
Parva

Hi,

I have hard time finding what is possibility of 'order_status' when i use alice.get_order_history() endpoint.

I mean I am able to figure out that 'complete' , 'rejected' , 'pending' are posibilities.
but what is possiblity for partially executed ?? is it "partially executed".

I belive correct place for this update should be :
https://antplus.aliceblueonline.com/#appendix

Is anyone else facing a problem of websocket stopping randomly around 10 AM in the morning?
My algo was trading and I suddenly stopped receiving ticks even though websocket is open.

Is there any way to get the LTP price without using subscribe and continually polling the data and un-subscribing it every time

I need some small understanding we are trying generate the API key and which format alice blue reading ApI key for order processing need some understanding for encryption and decryption formula . we are trying to develop Auto Buy/Sell Order through MT4.

Thanks for your support in Advance.

so , how log the access tocken stay valid ?? do we have to generate it once daily similar to upstox and zeordha ?? once generate can we save and use it agin throug out the day ??

While playing with the API, its found out that there is no way to get lower circuit & upper circuit of a scrip through API.

Upsotox provide these through live_feed.

There is a requirement that heartbeat should be sent every 10 seconds.
This library was sending heartbeat every 10 seconds. Now its changed to 5 seconds. Still Alice Blue server disconnects the webserver connection randomly.

Here is the log.

Using latest code i.e. 0.0.6, for Nifty option/s getting None, please see the sample code

Nifty_call = alice.get_instrument_for_fno(symbol = 'NIFTY', expiry_date=datetime.date(2019, 12, 12), is_fut=False, strike=11950, is_CE = True)
Nifty_put = alice.get_instrument_for_fno(symbol = 'NIFTY', expiry_date=datetime.date(2019, 12, 12), is_fut=False, strike=11950, is_CE = False)

Could you please help me with this.

Hello Krishna Velu,

I am very thankful for this github repo, it is really good. Need your help trying to get the details for Nifty spot price and nifty FUT

Also can you help me getting nifty spot price details

Thanks,

sir,
please make video on how to install python alice_blue package on python. I have installed Anaconda3 when in type "pip install alice_blue" in cmd its showing error.

please make a video so that so many people can solve this problem

thanks

Can anyone please post the result for this:

alice.get_instrument_for_fno(symbol = 'NIFTY' , expiry_date=datetime.date(2019, 11, 28), is_fut=True, strike=None)

or mention any other method that you are using to fetch Options and Futures for NIFTY.

PS: This works for BANKNIFTY but not for NIFTY

Hi sir

Your documentation page how to get api key and access token not clearly shown.

Can you please upload videos on official youtube channel of alice blue.

Like zerodha they use kite.trade to get api credentials, in aliceblue i can't find any url for get api key, token

Thanks

Hi,

This was really helpful and i wanted to shift my system to Alice Blue from Upstox. But once the account is opened i come to know that they have updated API, and Im looking for sample code according to new method.

Need to implement websocket re-connection mechanism after disconnection. This can solve issue #6 .

I am trying to place the BO order, and below is the order dict which is finally getting posted:

{'exchange': 'MCX', 'order_type': 'LIMIT', 'instrument_token': 214909, 'quantity': 10, 'disclosed_quantity': 0, 'price': 4132.35, 'transaction_type': 'BUY', 'validity': 'DAY', 'source': 'web', 'order_tag': 'order1', 'stop_loss_value': 4130.35, 'square_off_value': 4150.35}

but getting below error always:

{'status': 'error', 'message': ' is not supported in MCX segment.', 'data': {}}

While Market order types are getting placed successfully.

Please let me know if any more info required for looking into this issue.

Thanks!

Wanted to build a system based and automatic square off positions based on net profit or net loss for example

will be buying like following for example
bn_call = alice.get_instrument_for_fno(symbol = 'BANKNIFTY', expiry_date=datetime.date(2019, 12, 19), is_fut=False, strike=30000, is_CE = True)
bn_put = alice.get_instrument_for_fno(symbol = 'BANKNIFTY', expiry_date=datetime.date(2019, 12, 19), is_fut=False, strike=30000, is_CE = False)

If in case of tool profit or loss is more than 1000 rs /X amount wanted to square off the positions.
So what I wanted to know which API from AB can give this/this type of information it provides.
Could you, please provide some sample inputs on this.

MCX is also providing FUT and Option. So, get_instrument_for_mcx method should be added same as get_instrument_for_fno.

When trying to authenticate and retrieve the access token, getting the following error:
line 247, in login_and_get_access_token
code = resp.url[resp.url.index('=')+1:resp.url.index('&')]

ValueError: substring not found

I'm just following the steps mentioned and nothing has been changed in the code. I'm just trying to print the access token. Does this error mean that the access token isn't created, hence unable to retrieve. I have the antplus activated and have received the api secret.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I just got to know that it is possible to generate access token and place order in another (2nd account which doesn't have an activated API) account with the API details of one account. (of course if the APP is authorized in another account)

If anyone has tried that, can you please quickly tell me how to proceed with it using this library?

TIA,
Parva

Hi, firstly thanks for the code, i am able to connect and start testing. When i search for the scrip i am getting the correct results... however when i subscribe for live feed using the same values, i get different script. Please find the code snippet and output screenshot.

print("------\n")
print(alice.get_instrument_by_symbol('NSE','RELIANCE'))
print("\n------\n")
socket_opened = False
def event_handler_quote_update(message):
print(f"quote update {message}")

def open_callback():
global socket_opened
socket_opened = True

alice.start_websocket(subscribe_callback=event_handler_quote_update,
socket_open_callback=open_callback,
run_in_background=True)
while(socket_opened==False):
pass
alice.subscribe(alice.get_instrument_by_symbol('NSE', 'RELIANCE'), LiveFeedType.COMPACT)
time.sleep(10)

Result screenshot

I received my API secret but I am not able to generate access token, here are some details:

resp = <Response [200]>
resp.url = https://ant.aliceblueonline.com/oauth/consent?consent_challenge=4bbd6ebdd0a4440aaf39798eb8072d51

I modified the next line to this:

try:
code = resp.url[resp.url.index('=')+1:resp.url.index('&')]
except:
code = resp.url[resp.url.index('=')+1:]
as I didn't see any '&' symbol in the resp.url

without the modification, it was showing this error message:
code = resp.url[resp.url.index('=')+1:resp.url.index('&')]ValueError: substring not found

I am printing the url generated after setting the params and it looks like this:

https://ant.aliceblueonline.com/oauth2/token?client_id=********&client_secret=******************************************************************&grant_type=authorization_code&code=4bbd6ebdd0a4440aaf39798eb8072d51&redirect_uri=https://ant.aliceblueonline.com/plugin/callback&authorization_response=authorization_response

I still get access_token as 'None' only, is there any problem with my code or is it possible that they haven't activated my API yet?

Thanks,
Parva

Hi Krishnavelu,

How to find Open, high, low, LTP of any given scrip?
Attached is the screenshot of how it works in zerodha
pls help with this.

i have same issue, code = resp.url[resp.url.index('=')+1:resp.url.index('&')]
ValueError: substring not found, please help me, what is the problem. I don't know to generate manually. My friend code working fine not generating this problem, but why for my account this error coming

alice.subscribe(alice.get_instrument_by_symbol('NSE', 'RELIANCE'), LiveFeedType.COMPACT)

File "C:\Users\ghost\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\alice_blue\alice_blue.py", line 652, in subscribe

TypeError: Required parameter live_feed_type not of type LiveFeedType

I've tried with the other LiveFeed types but no success. Updated to the latest version. Previously, it was working fine. Any suggestions would be helpful

Respected sir,
I am not able to fetch Nifty50 spot price nor able to subscribe to live spot data please do the needful regarding the same
ps
already reffered to issue 18 and 27 I am currently working algo for nifty options which wont be possible without the same,
thankyou

All other brokers like zerodha & upstox has their order updates as websocket based.
Meaning you don't need to poll for getting an order update using get_order_history()
If you subscribe for order update, the subscribed function will be called whenever there is an order update.

This feature is not yet implemented in alice-blue server.

In Alice Blue there is a limitation of number of scrips can be subscribed. The limitation is 250 scrips.
This is mentioned nowhere. But came to know after multiple talks with alice blue guys.
Issue #6 is also due to this. The server doesn't give any error message, but disconnects randomly after few hours/minutes.
Make the subscribe call such that, it give error message or exception if more that 250 scrips are subscribed.

Is there any API for getting the OHLC candlestick data?, looks like it is not available currently. If no is there sample program that can be shared in this group

Facing issue with stoplossMarket order.

I am sending this-

Although order is placed successfully with following message-

{'status': 'success', 'message': 'Order placed successfully', 'data': {'oms_order_id': '20XXXXXXXXXXXX18'}}

But order is getting rejected REJECT REASON
Invalid price type

Need help - how to get the multiple instrument price details like below and how to retry based on token or symbol

Hello Sir,

I have received api secret key and alice blue has enabled the API for my client ID.

I have tried to generate the access_token using below syntax, but access_token has 'NoneType'.

access_token = AliceBlue.login_and_get_access_token('username', 'password', 'twoFA', 'api_secret', redirect_url='http://127.0.0.1/')

I will be very grateful for any inputs assisting me to develop the connection to my trading account.

As a result of above, the below code can not be operated as well

alice = AliceBlue('username', 'password', access_token='access_token')

I am trying to place cover order-

• when trigger price is 4099: order placed successfully
• when trigger price is 4100: Error Occurred :Enter Valid Trigger Price
• when trigger price is 4101: order placed successfully
  see the screenshots below. Am I missing anything?
  
  
  

Placing SL-M order using below sample code is getting placed without error, but rejected on Alice blue web terminal with Rejected Reason "Invalid Price Type". Tried with other symbols and more appropriate trigger_price, but received rejection with same error. Not able to make out what does the error mean. Tried using different possible price like 0 , 0.0 , None , but in vain. Please have a look. Note: When same order is directly placed from https://ant.aliceblueonline.com/ its going through fine.

Code below to replicate:

TransactionType.Buy, OrderType.StopLossMarket, ProductType.Intraday

print ("%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%8%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%")
print(
alice.place_order(transaction_type = TransactionType.Buy,
instrument = alice.get_instrument_by_symbol('NSE', 'YESBANK'),
quantity = 1,
order_type = OrderType.StopLossMarket,
product_type = ProductType.Intraday,
price = 0.0,
trigger_price = 47.75,
stop_loss = None,
square_off = None,
trailing_sl = None,
is_amo = False)
)

If you try to modify an order using modify_order(), it always gives the below response.
{"errors":{"detail":"Internal server error"}}

This problem is acknowledged by alice-blue
Its a problem from their server side and they are working on it.

How to get the option price details as per below screenshot, could you please help me on this

Some place_order() samples mentioned in description doesnt work.

e.g.

print ("%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%4%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%")
print(
   alice.place_order(transaction_type = TransactionType.Buy,
                     instrument = alice.get_instrument_by_symbol('NSE', 'INFY'),
                     quantity = 1,
                     order_type = OrderType.Limit,
                     product_type = ProductType.BracketOrder,
                     price = 8.0,
                     trigger_price = None,
                     stop_loss = 6.0,
                     square_off = 10.0,
                     trailing_sl = None,
                     is_amo = False)
)

Gives error:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%4%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
{'status': 'error', 'message': ' is not supported in NSE segment.', 'data': {}}

Parameters looks to be fine. My account also has sufficient balance.

Additional Information:
Looks like sample orders with ProductType.BracketOrder are giving error.

The error message from alice seems vague, so you are the best judge to answer if it is a bug or not. You may replicate yourself.
Thanks.

Hello,

could you please help how to get the symbol from Instrument, I have tried using json package but is not working.

Thanks,

upstox uses websocket_client 0.40.0.
For alice_blue there is no restriction of we should use particular version.
Make the library working for all versions. At-least for 0.40.0 and newer.

dear sir
