| 3 | +Core functionality |
| 4 | +================== |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +All the functions in C API have similar ones in Python with the same name. Not all arguments are |
| 7 | +supported by now, this work is in progress. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +First of all you have to import the package: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +.. code-block:: python |
| 12 | +
|
| 13 | + import dxfeed.core.DXFeedPy as dxc |
| 14 | +
|
| 15 | +Next, the connection to dxfeed server should be established: |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +.. code-block:: python |
| 18 | +
|
| 19 | + con = dxc.dxf_create_connection(address='demo.dxfeed.com:7300') |
| 20 | +
|
| 21 | +To get events of certain types the subscription with this type should be |
| 22 | +create. One connection may have several subscriptions. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +.. code-block:: python |
| 25 | +
|
| 26 | + sub1 = dxc.dxf_create_subscription(con, 'Trade') |
| 27 | + sub2 = dxc.dxf_create_subscription(con, 'Quote') |
| 28 | +
|
| 29 | +.. note:: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + 'Trade', 'Quote', 'Summary', 'Profile', 'Order', 'TimeAndSale', 'Candle', 'TradeETH', 'SpreadOrder', |
| 32 | + 'Greeks', 'TheoPrice', 'Underlying', 'Series', 'Configuration' event types are supported. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Special function called listener should be attached to the subscription to start receiving |
| 35 | +events. There are default listeners already implemented in dxpyfeed, but you |
| 36 | +can write your own with cython: :ref:`custom_listener`. To attach |
| 37 | +default listener just call `dxf_attach_listener` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +.. code-block:: python |
| 40 | +
|
| 41 | + dxc.dxf_attach_listener(sub1) |
| 42 | + dxc.dxf_attach_listener(sub2) |
| 43 | +
|
| 44 | +Each subscription should be provided with tickers to get events for: |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +.. code-block:: python |
| 47 | +
|
| 48 | + dxc.dxf_add_symbols(sub1, ['AAPL', 'MSFT']) |
| 49 | + dxc.dxf_add_symbols(sub2, ['AAPL', 'C']) |
| 50 | +
|
| 51 | +The data can be extracted with `get_data()` method. It is stored as dict with list of columns and list |
| 52 | +of events. Note that `get_data` extracts the data and then clean the field. To look at data call this property: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +.. code-block:: python |
| 55 | +
|
| 56 | + sub1.get_data() |
| 57 | + sub2.get_data() |
| 58 | +
|
| 59 | +The more convenient way to look at data is to convert it into pandas DataFrame. |
| 60 | +`to_dataframe` method of subscription class is responsible for that: |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +.. code-block:: python |
| 63 | +
|
| 64 | + sub1.to_dataframe() |
| 65 | + sub2.to_dataframe() |
| 66 | +
|
| 67 | +To stop receiving events just detach the listener: |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +.. code-block:: python |
| 70 | +
|
| 71 | + dxc.dxf_detach_listener(sub1) |
| 72 | + dxc.dxf_detach_listener(sub2) |
| 73 | +
|
| 74 | +When you are done with subscription you'd better close it: |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +.. code-block:: python |
| 77 | +
|
| 78 | + dxc.dxf_close_subscription(sub1) |
| 79 | + dxc.dxf_close_subscription(sub2) |
| 80 | +
|
| 81 | +Same with connection: |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +.. code-block:: python |
| 84 | +
|
| 85 | + dxc.dxf_close_connection(con) |
