Hi

I'm building my own app and wanted to download prices from Dukascopy server without using a dukascopy API. I trying to download it using this URL: https://www.dukascopy.com/datafeed/INSTRUMENT/YEAR/... etc. Everything is ok but I can download data only to one month back. How can I solve it ?

Hi,

I am not sure which page are you refer to, as the link is broken in your comment, but try this:
https://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/ ... istorical/

Here you can download data back to years...

Hi,

Thanks for replay. I saw this functionality before but this is not what I'm looking for because can't download this data programmatically from my app. Maybe I was not fully precision in my first post and show wrong example. Let say we have this link: https://www.dukascopy.com/datafeed/EURUS ... _ticks.bi5 and when you open it you would download 15h_ticks.bi file which will be price for EURUSD in 25th January 2014 for 5pm. After that my app processing this file and get prices from it but this isn't point of my post. If I want to get more "fresh" data i.e. from two days ago using this link https://www.dukascopy.com/datafeed/EURUS ... _ticks.bi5 I getting "404 - Not found".

Server can create a link for once-only usage.

Sorry but I don't understand could you be more specific ?

Hi,

If you don't want to use the data feed downloader of the website, but rather use the API and download data in a program (strategy), the following forum topic might be at your interest:
viewtopic.php?f=77&t=49764&p=73674&hilit=excel#p73674

These guys achieved more-or-less the same what you are up to: download historical data feed (and placed in in Excel but that might not be interesting for you).
Take a look, source codes are also available...


The get the data by directly links is not an elegant idea. Links can change, permissions can change also, etc... You have better chances by using the IHistory interface of the API (which I guess was used in the linked example).


Good luck!
