Missing data while pulling historical stock prices

[thebigdataplayer]

Issue description

Below is the code for downloading historical stock data for a company to a CSV file

from datetime import date from jugaad_data.nse import stock_csv stock_csv(symbol="NATIONALUM", from_date=date(2020,1,1), to_date=date(2023,1,18), series="EQ", _output="D:\\Stock\\NALUM.csv")

NSE Symbol : NATIONALUM From Date : 1/1/2020 To Date : 1/18/2023

This should've pulled the data for all the 760 trading days in that time range into the CSV file. However the data is missing for the time period 10/6/2021 to 31/5/2022

This isn't a standalone issue for this particular company. All of them have the same issue of missing data for a particular period within the expected time range nationalum.txt NALUM.csv

Example Code

from datetime import date
from jugaad_data.nse import stock_csv

# Download data and save to a csv file
stock_csv(symbol="NATIONALUM", from_date=date(2020,1,1),
            to_date=date(2023,1,18), series="EQ", output="D:\\Stock\\NALUM.csv")

Error snippet

Not an error. Missing data in the output file as explained in the description

Can you please help us with debugging.

1. Can you please share the output of break_dates for the given date range, this function is in util.py https://github.com/jugaad-py/jugaad-data/blob/master/jugaad_data/util.py It is supposed to break the dates on month

2. If the above step is ok, then please check if you are getting correct data from nse website for 1/6/2021 to 31/6/2021, 1/7/2021 to 30/7/2021.. randomly for few months

3. If 2 is ok, check .cache folder in your home directory does it have data for those symbols

I faced the same problem with the below input:

1. 'symbol': BBOX
2. 'from_date': 01-07-2021
3. 'to_date': 31-07-2021
4. 'series': EQ

With the below snippet, I got an empty DataFrame as a response.

from jugaad_data.nse import stock_df

df = stock_df('BBOX', from_date=from_date, to_date=to_date, series=series)

On looking at the data on the NSE website, I found that the series changed from EQ to BE on 2021-06-09 and onwards until 2021-11-22.

This can be fixed by changing the interface of NSEHistory._stock to accept a tuple of series, i.e. def _stock(self, symbol, from_date, to_date, series=("EQ",)):, and its usages. See the below snippets. This can be made backwards compatible relatively easily by converting series if it is a string to a tuple of string.
