Hi Team,
Here are a Few Suggesions.

  • You are collecting 500+GST but not Providing Historical Data for Options, No other broker does this. Data not even being provided for Non Expired options.

  • Historical Intraday Minute Data is not even being provided for Underlying

  • Stale Documentation across API, Github and Dhanhq . Needs to be corrected

  • Good Code examples for Various types functions created.
    Ex 1- orders and parameters to be passed for various order types
    Ex 2- Reconnecting websocket example code which takes underlying and streams relavant FNO Tickers automatically

  • Official libraries are available only for Python and JS, request multiple language libraries CPP,RUST,Golang among others

  • Order updates over websockets is absent

  • Forever orders are not Available in Official API provided

Hello @optionstrader

Welcome to Dhan Community!

Thank you for taking out the time and helping us with these detailed suggestions. While some of these are already in pipeline, we will definitely try to incorporate the others as well.

  1. Yes, we are looking to broaden the Data API offering, where the APIs remain execution first but with necessary data and other things for users to trade.
  2. This is something which we are planning to add in our roadmap. We are looking into the feasibility of providing data and upto which data frame, along with best format, which does not result in any system delay.
  3. Documentation is an ongoing work, that we keep on improving as and when there are any updates or any missing piece that we find out.
  4. For code examples, we do not want to overload the main library itself with various scenarios, trying to find out best way to add this.
  5. Currently, only Python library is built in-house, rest everything is open-source (including JS). We want this to grow with the algo trading community - if anyone from the community here wants to contribute, would be great.
  6. This is already in works. We are planning to add this soon.
  7. Forever Order APIs are again on the roadmap for long. Understanding the use of these, especially for swing traders, will be taking this up as well.

This is just phase 1 of our API offering and we plan to continue building horizontally (in terms of new API offerings) and vertically (refining existing APIs). Great to have you as part of community!
