Any examples on how to use the http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/Interactive?

I was building a simple stock app that allowed you to search and add stocks to a favorite list. It was nowhere near complete but you can check that out, it uses sencha touch 2 mobile js library.

Check this out, I had started trying to put together a blog post to explain it.

Specifically… I'm having issues with the interactive portion of the API. The only thing I can get it to return are Bollinger Bands. I'd like to get back open/high/low/close values.

I have not taken it that far yet, but plan to in the coming days

migrap, Could you please provide the parameters being passed to the API?

[migrap]

I'm able to make the following request to get Bollinger bands back:

http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/interactive?parameters={"Normalized":false,"StartDate":"2013-07-15T00:00:00-00","EndOffsetDays":100,"NumberOfDays":100,"DataPeriod":"Day","DataInterval":0,"LabelPeriod":"Day","LabelInterval":1,"ExtraPoints":0,"Elements":[{"Symbol":"AAPL","ElementType":"bollinger","Params":[21,1]}],"RealTime":false}

However when I change the request to get price data back (ohlc):

http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/interactive?parameters={"Normalized":false,"StartDate":"2013-07-15T00:00:00-00","EndOffsetDays":100,"NumberOfDays":100,"DataPeriod":"Day","DataInterval":0,"LabelPeriod":"Day","LabelInterval":1,"ExtraPoints":0,"Elements":[{"Symbol":"AAPL","ElementType":"price","Params":["ohlc"]}],"RealTime":false}

It returns the following:

{"Labels":null,"Positions":null,"Dates":null,"Elements":[{"Currency":"USD","TimeStamp":"2013-07-22 13:09:50-04","Symbol":"AAPL","Type":"bollinger","DataSeries":null}]}

Not that even though I requested "price" data, the response is "bollinger". This holds true for "sma", and "ema" as well.

There's not an example on the dev.markitondemonad.com website on how to use interactive so I'm not even sure if I'm composing the json correctly. I'm not getting an error stating the request is malformed so... maybe it's right.

Thanks

Michael

Hi all,

The reason there aren't any examples supporting the Interactive API is because the Timeseries is the one to use for rendering charts. I realize there is a slightly larger composition of data available from the Interactive API but since all of these APIs are intended for building demos and proofs-of-concepts, the Timeseries endpoint should be sufficient.

All of that said, if there are a couple of specific features in the Interactive service that you'd like to see exposed in the Timeseries API, we can certainly evaluate the additions as we are planning on removing the Interactive API from dev.markitondemand.com.

Sounds like you're making something neat—what are you folks working on? We'd love to see what you have!

Thanks -Mark

The Interactive document appears to expose other data periods then just interday (daily) data (e.g. Minute, Hour, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year).

What I was hoping what to pull 5 minute intraday price data (open, high, low, close) from Interactive.

Is there a way to pull 5 minute intraday price data using Timeseries?

Michael

[markhealey]

There is no way to get a 5 min intraday OHLC dataset from Timeseries.

I think what we'll do is work to touch up the documentation for the Interactive API, add an example and then retire the Timeseries API (since they're so similar).

[migrap]

Great. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. I'd love to test.

As an FYI, I've built a C# client that consumes your API. You can find it on Github (https://github.com/migrap/Markit)

Thanks @migrap. Can you reach out me at mark dot healey at markit dot com? I'd like to ask a couple questions offline.

[markhealey]

We've just released v2 of our API, head over to dev.markitondemand.com for more information. The docs are much better for InteractiveChart.

[ajonno]

Mark do you provide international exchange market data? Including listed derivatives? 

Cheers  Angus

Hi, definitely not through these means. If you engaged with us for a custom solution, we could provide that information. Markit On Demand is not a data provider, we are just offering these limited APIs for proofs of concept. Apologies.
