So this is gonna be a rant/discussion regarding the API and I'll break it down to make it more understandable.
- Horrible Error Description: Many Error Description is completely weird/impossible to interpret causing hours of headache
- Python Logging: While the logging feature is neat, it would be nicer if it wasn't enabled by default with no way to disable it. If I make a mass request or have requested info, I do not need that logged as a .txt file.
- Lack of Open-Source: I am sure many programmers here have modified their Fyers Python Wrapper or JS Wrapper mainly to help with improving stuff. I am sure many of them would gladly submit a pull request to update and optimize the Wrapper. I am not asking for the actual API to be open sourced, that would be a huge Cyber Security issue but many companies do let the community help with the maintenance of their Wrapper. A few examples are Alpaca API, A US Free Stock Broker that does the same along with providing a Paper Trading account to test out strategies all their wrappers are publically on GitHub with people submitting requests to optimize. Another is discord.py which is a discord python wrapper made exclusively by the Community. Presently your Github for the API does exist (As can be seen by PyCharm) but is Private as far as I can tell. Open it up and just make sure to check out pull requests when possible. You can likely save a lot of time and money but just letting your community help.
- V1 Deprication: Given V1 is depreciated, please request pypi to delete the old API instead, as sometimes, the 2 conflicts and cause issues.
- 1D 1-Year Limit: Why does requesting daily trading data have a 1-year limit. It is a pointless thing as it is technically easily bypassed but extremely annoying. Some people use historical to make better trading models and need the large dataset
These are my complaints @Fyers team FYERS
I have already mentioned this in conversation, and now just gonna leave it heard.
Just check out Alpaca Market API Service for the USA Stock Exchange.
Admittedly you offer more items on the free side however, there approach is extremely interesting and a good thing to grab good ideas from
