# AmiQuotes

**This tool helps you to fetch data (1 minute / Daily) directly from the broker and seamlessly update Amibroker using the AmiQuote tool every minute.**

AmiQuote is a polling downloader, not a streaming feed. The `OpenAlgo.ads` file below is an AmiQuote data-source definition: each time AmiQuote runs it issues one HTTP GET per symbol against the OpenAlgo [Ticker API](/api-documentation/v1/data-api/ticker.md) and imports the plain-text result into the AmiBroker database.

```
GET http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/v1/ticker/{symbol}?apikey={api_key}&interval={interval}&from={from}&to={to}&format=txt
```

Two consequences worth knowing before you start:

* The data source declares only two usable intervals: **Daily** (`interval=D`, up to 3650 days per request) and **1-minute** (`interval=1m`, 1 day per request). The other periodicities listed by AmiQuote carry no OpenAlgo interval token and will not download.
* The Ticker API clamps the requested date range server side: intraday intervals are capped at 30 days back from the end date, and D/W/M at 10 years. Longer requests are silently trimmed rather than rejected.

If you want a live tick feed and realtime charts instead of a once-a-minute snapshot import, use the [OpenAlgo AmiBroker Plugin](/trading-platform/amibroker/amibroker-plugin.md), which streams from the OpenAlgo WebSocket proxy.

### Prerequisites

OpenAlgo and OpenAlgo API Key

Amibroker 6.0 or higher

Amiquotes 4.10 or higher (mostly preinstalled with Amibroker) if not download from [Amibroker Download section](https://amibroker.com/download.html)

OpenAlgo supported Brokers providing Historical Data / Intraday Data API

Note : As of now kotak not supporting intraday/historical data API

### Step 1 : Download OpenAlgo - Amiquotes (Plugin)

{% file src="/files/NIyXBlRr4z0n5lfY995V" %}

Download the file and save under **Amibroker -> Amiquotes -> DataSource Folder**

### Step 2 : Create the Amibroker Database

Open Amibroker Goto File Menu -> New -> Database

<figure><img src="/files/siF2BqIZU1FPSWvhFy3n" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Create a New Database

Enter the Database Name, Base Time Interval and Click Create

<figure><img src="/files/47qqMrjw0Y6K9IQQ2oO3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Enter the Database Source as (local database) and Number of Bars as 75000

<figure><img src="/files/xiigSqaVwOqTj6fve6D4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Now click on Intraday Settings and Enable Allow Mixed EOD/Interval data and press ok

### Step 3 : Add OpenAlgo Ticker Symbols

Add Ticker Symbols from the Symbols menu -> New

The AmiBroker ticker name is pasted straight into the Ticker API path, so it must be written as `EXCHANGE:SYMBOL`, for example `NSE:RELIANCE`, `BSE:TCS`, `MCX:CRUDEOIL18JUN26FUT`, `NSE_INDEX:NIFTY`. This is the reverse of the `SYMBOL-EXCHANGE` format used by the OpenAlgo AmiBroker data plugin. A ticker with no `EXCHANGE:` prefix does not fail cleanly: the Ticker API falls back to `NSE:RELIANCE` and you will silently import the wrong instrument.

You can Also add the ticker symbol with comma separated

If you want to import bulk symbols consider using Watchlist import method (Supports .txt or .csv or .tls format)

### Step 4 : Amiquote Realtime Update

Open Amiquote from Tools Menu -> Auto-update quotes (AmiQuote)

<figure><img src="/files/CEufSW83EmsN0TCP3hfN" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

From the dropdown of Amiquote Select OpenAlgo

<figure><img src="/files/4yOaoNeC9chYB7SQXXg7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Alternatively, you can also import the openalgo template using the import method. Goto **Data Source Menu -> Import**

<figure><img src="/files/uZmofU1S3wXapRWQZoxI" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

configure the OpenAlgo API key

Get the OpenAlgo API Key by visiting **openalgo -> Dashboard -> Click on Profile Icon -> APIKey**

Create one if you installed openalgo for the first time. Copy the API key and paste in the User-definable data source -> API Key Section as shown below and press ok

<figure><img src="/files/JA93NMFqQpsXqTUpv4X2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Now Select the desired interval and set Run every 1min and press the play button

<figure><img src="/files/VsNJmT36jhVvtOA9nYlv" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Now the Data Download from the Broker via OpenAlgo Starts

<figure><img src="/files/FoOwLAkgMTlGIA1Upkig" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Now you can see that openalgo is Auto updating the Amibroker Database every 1 minute

<figure><img src="/files/tzP1joZjb6kzMDdly4Ya" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Make sure that Charts are loaded properly.
