Issue with granularity

[dparrado305]

Hello! First of all, thank you very much for posting these Oanda examples, its hard to find many of these out there. As for my question. I keep running the candle-data.py and I get the error

candle-data: error: the following arguments are required: --granularity

What could be causing this? I am sorry if this question seems general, I am still relatively new with python. Also I was wondering what does "clargs" mean and what does it do?

Thank you!

hi, it's easy. The program needs commandline arguments (clargs), so:

$ python src/candle_data.py
usage: candle-data [-h] [--nice] [--count COUNT] --granularity
                   {M,H8,H1,D,H2,H3,H12,S10,H6,S30,H4,M30,M5,M4,S15,M1,S5,W,M2,M15}
                   [--price {M,B,A,BA,MBA}] [--from FROM] [--to TO]
                   [--instruments [INSTRUMENTS]]
candle-data: error: argument --granularity is required

gives a usage message, because arguments were not provided and the first error it found ia reported

Run:

$ python src/candle_data.py -h

... and it gives full explanation

Now if you run:

python src/candle_data.py  --nice --count 2 --granularity M5 --price MBA --instruments EUR_USD --instruments EUR_GBP

you get:

  }
 ], 
 "granularity": "M5"
}

that is how it works. But you need to provide the relevant arguments.

Succes!
