Get stock quotes using a GET request in JSON format and connect them to FastReport VCL 6

7 de mayo de 2020

logo FR      logo FR

Today we will look at the way to get stock quotes using a GET request with HTTPS protocol and public tradingviewapi.docs.apiary.io API

According to the documentation
https://tradingviewapi.docs.apiary.io/#reference/0/history/0?console=1 in order to get stock quotes you need to use the GET request history

GET history

https://api.bcs.ru/udfdatafeed/v1/history?symbol=BRENT&resolution=60&from=1450772216&to=1450858616

URI PARAMETERS

discreteness of candles, possible values: 1, 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180, 240, D, W, M

from

1450772216

procedure TFormJSON.ButtonConnectToJSONClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
 frxReport1.LoadFromFile('ChartJSON.fr3');
 JSON_DS.RangeEnd := reCount;
 Symbol := ComboBoxName.Items[ComboBoxName.ItemIndex];
 Resolution := ComboBoxResolution.Items[ComboBoxResolution.ItemIndex];
 FromCandlesHistory := DateTimeToUnix(DateTimePickerFrom.DateTime).ToString;
 ToCandlesHistory := DateTimeToUnix(DateTimePickerTo.DateTime).ToString;
 
//Creating a TfrxTransportHTTP Object for a GET Request over HTTPS
 
 tHTTP := TfrxTransportHTTP.Create(nil);
 try
 
//We form a GET request string and get a response in JSON format

// if JSON is received incorrectly, then load it from the file and display a message in StatusBarr
 
 if (Res = '') or (pos('"s":"ok"',Res) = 0) then
 begin

 JSON_DS.Fields.Add('Close');

 JSON_DS.RangeEndCount := frxJSONArrayT.Count;
 end
 else StatusBar1.SimpleText :=StatusBar1.SimpleText +' /JSON is Invalid';
 finally
 end;
 finally
 end;
end;

To get data when generating a report from the arrays frxJSONArrayT, frxJSONArrayC, frxJSONArrayO, frxJSONArrayH, frxJSONArrayL, frxJSONArrayV through the JSON_DS component: TfrxUserDataSet, we need to use the OnGetValue event:

procedure TFormJSON.JSON_DSGetValue(const VarName: string; var Value: Variant);
var
 Item: string;
 Time : string;
begin
 Item := frxJSONArrayT.GetString(JSON_DS.RecNo);
 DateTimeToString(Time, 't', UnixToDateTime(StrToInt64(Item)));
 
 if VarName = 'Ticker' then
 begin
 Value := Symbol;
 exit;
 end
 else if VarName = 'Date' then
 begin
 Value := DateToStr(UnixToDateTime(StrToInt64(Item)))+' '+Time;
 exit;
 end
 else if VarName = 'Time' then
 begin
 Value := Time;
 exit;
 end
 else if VarName = 'Open' then
 Item := frxJSONArrayO.GetString(JSON_DS.RecNo)
 else if VarName = 'Close' then
 Item := frxJSONArrayC.GetString(JSON_DS.RecNo)
 else if VarName = 'High' then
 Item := frxJSONArrayH.GetString(JSON_DS.RecNo)
 else if VarName = 'Low' then
 Item := frxJSONArrayL.GetString(JSON_DS.RecNo)
 else if VarName = 'Vol' then
 Item := frxJSONArrayV.GetString(JSON_DS.RecNo);
 
 Value := Item;
end;

Next, create a template in report designer, call it ChartJSON.fr3 and connect JSON_DS to it

Designer_FR

To display the chart, use the Candle Series from the TeeChart Pro VCL package and also connect to JSON_DS

Candle_Series_configuration

Next, add the Click event handlers for the remaining buttons:
 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
procedure TFormJSON.ButtonDesignClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
 if (Res = '') then ButtonConnectToJSON.Click;
 frxReport1.DesignReport();
end;

procedure TFormJSON.ButtonShowReportClick(Sender: TObject); begin if (Res = '') then ButtonConnectToJSON.Click; frxReport1.ShowReport(); end;

We also add Change event handlers for ComboBoxName, DateTimePickerFrom and DateTimePickerTo:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
procedure TFormJSON.ComboBoxNameChange(Sender: TObject);
begin
 ButtonConnectToJSON.Click;
end;
 
procedure TFormJSON.DateTimePickerFromChange(Sender: TObject);
begin
 ButtonConnectToJSON.Click;
end;
 
procedure TFormJSON.DateTimePickerToChange(Sender: TObject);
begin
 ButtonConnectToJSON.Click;
end;

Also when closing the application do not forget to free up the memory of used objects.

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
procedure TFormJSON.FormClose(Sender: TObject; var Action: TCloseAction);
begin
 tHTTP.Free;
 frxJSON.Free;
 frxJSONArrayT.Free;
 frxJSONArrayC.Free;
 frxJSONArrayO.Free;
 frxJSONArrayH.Free;
 frxJSONArrayL.Free;
 frxJSONArrayV.Free;
end;

Next, run the application

FastReport VCL

In this application you can select desired stocks

FastReport VCL

And you can also select desired date range using the calendar

FastReport VCL

Connection to JSON occurs when you click on the "Connect to JSON", "Show Report" or "D" buttons, as well as when changing the dates or names of shares and displays a message about the connection status. 

FastReport VCL

When you click on the "Show Report" button, a report is built and its Preview is displayed

FastReport VCL

Congratulations, you received stock quotes in JSON format using a GET request, connected JSON to FastReport VCL 6 and built a report.
