Another Bhavcopy Downloader (ABCD)

[kaly422000]

hi josh pls update abcd downloader. not downloading from 1/1/2018

NSE has changed to https

What needs to be done?

Just changing from http to https in the URL present in the source code doesn't seem to help.
Even if you try to access the link directly https://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/2018/JAN/cm01JAN2018bhav.csv.zip for example it gives a 403

Can some1 check in the browser.

Its probably checking for header or cookie info which lets it work in the browser but a CLI download fails in various tools.
The ABCD tool currently not sending anything specific. this is commented. http/user-agent: "Mozilla/5.0"

Wasn't that hard to fix it

step 1: open the directory C:\PATH\ABCD

step 2: Open/Edit the file named ABCD.r in notepad/wordpad(or ur favourite editor) Right-click and use open with...

step 3: search for this line ";system/schemes/http/user-agent:" [its line 30 in my file]

step 4: remove the ; "semi-colon at the beginning of that line" and replace with this
system/schemes/http/user-agent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0"

step 5: search for this line >> NSE_Url: to-url rejoin ["http://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/" [its line number 86 in mine]
Change the http to https

step 6: save the file. and run it.

Wola, it works now. Anyway, I've only tested it with Equity and Indices.

No change in url - everything going on smoothly. I dnld from the NSE site and transform it accordingly - so no hassel. Using a R script.

 

[ocil]

But mine is working without any issue/ change. I am using only for future.
