Is there any way so we can download only data from HOSE or another platform? for now it downloads everything and take several days to finish.

As mentioned in the README, this scraper was originally created with the top-down approach in mind to download as much data as possible, which means it goes from industry and business types to individual companies. This method was intended for a machine learning project of mine. Thus, for now, it is not possible to download data from a specific exchange. However, if I remember correctly, Vietstock has an API for exchanges, given that this page has a filter for exchanges.

If you are interested in getting data specific for an exchange, there are several options:

  1. Create a pull request
  2. Fork this project and modify it yourself
  3. Leave this issue open and if I have the time, I will look into this (no guarantee though)

Thanks for raising the issue!
