Requirements

This library targets netstandard2.0 and can be used with .Net Core 2.0 and above & .Net Framework 4.6 and above.

Getting Started

You have to first generate the Api Key from ANT Web application. Please login to ANT web app and then click on the Generate API Key button.

Log into ANT Web » Apps » API Key » Generate/Regenerate API Key

Please note down the Api key & your Alice Blue User Id. You will be using the Api key & user id to initialize the client library.

NOTE: User should Login through Web (a3.aliceblueonline.com) or Single Sign On (SSO) or Mobile at least once in a day, before connecting the API

Troubleshooting

While creating the instance of Alice Blue Api Client set enable logging parameter as true. Client library will log all the error/info messages to the console. This will help to troubleshoot any issues while integrating library with your project. You can disable this flag in production.

BREAKING CHANGES V2.0.X

This version has breaking changes from previous version

Various fields from the Tick class removed to improve the performance

Install library

Install-Package OptionEdge.API.AliceBlue -Version 2.0.0

Sample project

Please refer the sample FeaturesDemo.cs class in `OptionEdge.API.AliceBlue.Samples' project which demonstrate the capabilities of this library.

Getting Started guide on Youtube

Please refer this Youtube video to get started using the library by creating a new project and calling the provided methods from the library for placing orders, getting order & trade history, historical data & live quotes.

Import namespaces

using OptionEdge.API.AliceBlue;
using OptionEdge.API.AliceBlue.Records;

Declare variables

AliceBlue _aliceBlue;
Ticker _ticker;

string _cachedTokenFile = $"cached_token_{DateTime.Now.ToString("dd_mmm_yyyy")}.txt";

Initialize

       
// Create new instance of AliceBlue client library
var_aliceBlue = new AliceBlue(_settings.UserId, _settings.ApiKey, enableLogging: _settings.EnableLogging,
    onAccessTokenGenerated: (accessToken) =>
{
    // Store the generated access token to database or file store
    // Token needs to be generated only once for the day

    File.WriteAllText(_cachedTokenFile, accessToken);
}, cachedAccessTokenProvider: () =>
{
    // Provide the saved token that will be used to making the REST calls.
    // This method will be used when re-initializing the api client during the the day (eg after app restart etc)

    // If token is invalid or not available, just return empty or null value
    return File.Exists(_cachedTokenFile) ? File.ReadAllText(_cachedTokenFile) : null;
});

Live Feeds Data Streaming

// Create Ticker instance
// No need to provide the userId, apiKey, it will be automatically set
var _ticker = _aliceBlue.CreateTicker();

// Setup event handlers
_ticker.OnTick += _ticker_OnTick;
_ticker.OnConnect += _ticker_OnConnect;
_ticker.OnClose += _ticker_OnClose;
_ticker.OnError += _ticker_OnError;
_ticker.OnNoReconnect += _ticker_OnNoReconnect;
_ticker.OnReconnect += _ticker_OnReconnect;
_ticker.OnReady += _ticker_OnReady;

// Connect the ticker to start receiving the live feeds
// DO NOT FORGOT TO CONNECT else you will not receive any feed
_ticker.Connect();

Subscribe for live feeds

// Once connected, subscribe to tokens to start receiving the feeds

// Subscribe live feeds
// Set feed mode to Quote (no depth data will be received)
// Set feed mode to Full to get depth data as well
// Token for multiple exchnages in one call
_ticker.Subscribe(Constants.TICK_MODE_QUOTE,
    new SubscriptionToken[]
        {
            new SubscriptionToken
            {
                Token = 26000,
                Exchange = Constants.EXCHANGE_NSE
            },
            new SubscriptionToken
            {
                Token = 26009,
                Exchange = Constants.EXCHANGE_NSE
            },
            new SubscriptionToken
            {
                Token = 35042,
                Exchange = Constants.EXCHANGE_NFO
            }
        });

// or subscribe to tokens for specific exchange
_ticker.Subscribe(Constants.EXCHANGE_NSE, Constants.TICK_MODE_FULL, new int[] { 26000, 26009 });

Unsubscribe from live feeds

// To unscubscribe
// tokens for multiple exchanges in one call
_ticker.UnSubscribe(new SubscriptionToken[]
{
    new SubscriptionToken
    {
        Token = 35042,
        Exchange = Constants.EXCHANGE_NFO
    },
    new SubscriptionToken
    {
        Token = 26000,
        Exchange  = Constants.EXCHANGE_NSE
    } 
});

// or unsubscribe tokens from specific exchange
_ticker.UnSubscribe(Constants.EXCHANGE_NFO, new int[] { 26000, 26000 });

Auto Reconnect

// Ticker has built in re-connection mechanism
// Once disconnectd it will try to reconnect, once connected, it will automatically subscribe to
// previously subscribed tokens

// Reconnection settings
_ticker.EnableReconnect(interval: 5, retries: 20);
// interval: interval between re-connection retries.
// For every reconnect attempt OnReconnect event will be called

// retries: number of retries before it give up reconnecting.
// OnNoReconnect will be called if not able to reconnect
