@fin.cx/opendata

🚀 Real-time financial data and German business intelligence in one powerful TypeScript library

Access live stock prices, cryptocurrencies, forex, commodities AND comprehensive German company data - all through a single, unified API.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

v2.1 - Enhanced Stock Market API (Current)

The stock market API has been significantly enhanced with a new unified request system.

What Changed:

• New discriminated union request types (IStockDataRequest)
• Enhanced IStockPrice interface with OHLCV data and metadata
• New getData() method replaces legacy getPrice() and getPrices()
• Historical data support with date ranges
• Exchange filtering via MIC codes
• Smart caching with data-type aware TTL

Migration:

// OLD (v2.0 and earlier)
const price = await service.getPrice({ ticker: 'AAPL' });
const prices = await service.getPrices({ tickers: ['AAPL', 'MSFT'] });

// NEW (v2.1+) - Unified API
const price = await service.getData({ type: 'current', ticker: 'AAPL' });
const prices = await service.getData({ type: 'batch', tickers: ['AAPL', 'MSFT'] });

// NEW - Historical data
const history = await service.getData({
  type: 'historical',
  ticker: 'AAPL',
  from: new Date('2024-01-01'),
  to: new Date('2024-12-31')
});

// NEW - Exchange filtering
const price = await service.getData({
  type: 'current',
  ticker: 'VOD',
  exchange: 'XLON' // London Stock Exchange
});

Note: Legacy getPrice() and getPrices() methods still work but are deprecated.

v2.0 - Directory Configuration

Directory paths are now MANDATORY when using German business data features. The package no longer creates .nogit/ directories automatically. You must explicitly configure all directory paths when instantiating OpenData:

const openData = new OpenData({
  nogitDir: '/path/to/your/data',
  downloadDir: '/path/to/your/data/downloads',
  germanBusinessDataDir: '/path/to/your/data/germanbusinessdata'
});

This change enables the package to work in read-only filesystems (like Deno compiled binaries) and gives you full control over where data is stored.

Installation

npm install @fin.cx/opendata
# or
pnpm add @fin.cx/opendata

Quick Start

📈 Stock Market Data (v2.1+ Enhanced)

Get comprehensive market data with EOD, historical, and OHLCV data:

import { StockPriceService, MarketstackProvider } from '@fin.cx/opendata';

// Initialize the service with smart caching
const stockService = new StockPriceService({
  ttl: 60000,       // Default cache TTL (historical data cached forever)
  maxEntries: 10000  // Increased for historical data
});

// Register Marketstack provider with API key
stockService.register(new MarketstackProvider('YOUR_API_KEY'), {
  priority: 100,
  retryAttempts: 3
});

// Get current price (new unified API)
const apple = await stockService.getData({ type: 'current', ticker: 'AAPL' });
console.log(`Apple: $${apple.price} (${apple.changePercent.toFixed(2)}%)`);
console.log(`OHLCV: O=${apple.open} H=${apple.high} L=${apple.low} V=${apple.volume}`);
console.log(`Company: ${apple.companyName}`);        // "Apple Inc"
console.log(`Full: ${apple.companyFullName}`);       // "Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL)"

// Get historical data (1 year of daily prices)
const history = await stockService.getData({
  type: 'historical',
  ticker: 'AAPL',
  from: new Date('2024-01-01'),
  to: new Date('2024-12-31'),
  sort: 'DESC' // Newest first
});
console.log(`Fetched ${history.length} trading days`);

// Exchange-specific data (London vs NYSE)
const vodLondon = await stockService.getData({
  type: 'current',
  ticker: 'VOD',
  exchange: 'XLON' // London Stock Exchange
});

const vodNYSE = await stockService.getData({
  type: 'current',
  ticker: 'VOD',
  exchange: 'XNYS' // New York Stock Exchange
});

// Batch current prices with company names
const prices = await stockService.getData({
  type: 'batch',
  tickers: ['AAPL', 'MSFT', 'GOOGL', 'AMZN', 'TSLA']
});

// Display with company names (automatically included - zero extra API calls!)
for (const stock of prices) {
  console.log(`${stock.companyName}: $${stock.price}`);
  // Output:
  // Apple Inc: $271.40
  // Microsoft Corporation: $525.76
  // Alphabet Inc - Class A: $281.48
  // Amazon.com Inc: $222.86
  // Tesla Inc: $440.10
}

// Use companyFullName for richer context
console.log(prices[0].companyFullName); // "Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL)"

🏢 German Business Data

Advanced Examples

Phase 1: Historical Data Analysis

Fetch and analyze historical price data:

// Get 1 year of historical data
const history = await stockService.getData({
  type: 'historical',
  ticker: 'AAPL',
  from: new Date('2024-01-01'),
  to: new Date('2024-12-31'),
  sort: 'DESC' // Newest first (default)
});

// Calculate statistics
const prices = history.map(p => p.price);
const high52Week = Math.max(...prices);
const low52Week = Math.min(...prices);
const avgPrice = prices.reduce((a, b) => a + b) / prices.length;

console.log(`52-Week Analysis for AAPL:`);
console.log(`High:    $${high52Week.toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Low:     $${low52Week.toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Average: $${avgPrice.toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Days:    ${history.length}`);

// Calculate daily returns
for (let i = 0; i < history.length - 1; i++) {
  const todayPrice = history[i].price;
  const yesterdayPrice = history[i + 1].price;
  const dailyReturn = ((todayPrice - yesterdayPrice) / yesterdayPrice) * 100;
  console.log(`${history[i].timestamp.toISOString().split('T')[0]}: ${dailyReturn.toFixed(2)}%`);
}

Phase 1: Exchange-Specific Trading

Compare prices across different exchanges:

// Vodafone trades on both London and NYSE
const exchanges = [
  { mic: 'XLON', name: 'London Stock Exchange' },
  { mic: 'XNYS', name: 'New York Stock Exchange' }
];

for (const exchange of exchanges) {
  try {
    const price = await stockService.getData({
      type: 'current',
      ticker: 'VOD',
      exchange: exchange.mic
    });

    console.log(`${exchange.name}:`);
    console.log(`  Price: ${price.price} ${price.currency}`);
    console.log(`  Volume: ${price.volume?.toLocaleString()}`);
    console.log(`  Exchange: ${price.exchangeName}`);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(`${exchange.name}: Not available`);
  }
}

Phase 1: OHLCV Technical Analysis

Use OHLCV data for technical indicators:

const history = await stockService.getData({
  type: 'historical',
  ticker: 'TSLA',
  from: new Date('2024-11-01'),
  to: new Date('2024-11-30')
});

// Calculate daily trading range
for (const day of history) {
  const range = day.high - day.low;
  const rangePercent = (range / day.low) * 100;

  console.log(`${day.timestamp.toISOString().split('T')[0]}:`);
  console.log(`  Open:   $${day.open}`);
  console.log(`  High:   $${day.high}`);
  console.log(`  Low:    $${day.low}`);
  console.log(`  Close:  $${day.price}`);
  console.log(`  Volume: ${day.volume?.toLocaleString()}`);
  console.log(`  Range:  $${range.toFixed(2)} (${rangePercent.toFixed(2)}%)`);
}

// Calculate Simple Moving Average (SMA)
const calculateSMA = (data: IStockPrice[], period: number) => {
  const sma: number[] = [];
  for (let i = period - 1; i < data.length; i++) {
    const sum = data.slice(i - period + 1, i + 1)
      .reduce((acc, p) => acc + p.price, 0);
    sma.push(sum / period);
  }
  return sma;
};

const sma20 = calculateSMA(history, 20);
const sma50 = calculateSMA(history, 50);

console.log(`20-day SMA: $${sma20[0].toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`50-day SMA: $${sma50[0].toFixed(2)}`);

Phase 1: Smart Caching Performance

Leverage smart caching for efficiency:

// Historical data is cached FOREVER (never changes)
console.time('First historical fetch');
const history1 = await stockService.getData({
  type: 'historical',
  ticker: 'AAPL',
  from: new Date('2024-01-01'),
  to: new Date('2024-12-31')
});
console.timeEnd('First historical fetch');
// Output: First historical fetch: 2341ms

console.time('Second historical fetch (cached)');
const history2 = await stockService.getData({
  type: 'historical',
  ticker: 'AAPL',
  from: new Date('2024-01-01'),
  to: new Date('2024-12-31')
});
console.timeEnd('Second historical fetch (cached)');
// Output: Second historical fetch (cached): 2ms (1000x faster!)

// EOD data cached for 24 hours
const currentPrice = await stockService.getData({
  type: 'current',
  ticker: 'MSFT'
});
// Subsequent calls within 24h served from cache

// Cache statistics
console.log(`Cache size: ${stockService['cache'].size} entries`);

Market Dashboard

Create an EOD market overview:

const indicators = [
  // Indices
  { ticker: '^GSPC', name: 'S&P 500' },
  { ticker: '^DJI', name: 'DOW Jones' },

  // Tech Giants
  { ticker: 'AAPL', name: 'Apple' },
  { ticker: 'MSFT', name: 'Microsoft' },
  { ticker: 'GOOGL', name: 'Alphabet' },
  { ticker: 'AMZN', name: 'Amazon' },
  { ticker: 'TSLA', name: 'Tesla' }
];

const prices = await stockService.getPrices({
  tickers: indicators.map(i => i.ticker)
});

// Display with color-coded changes
prices.forEach(price => {
  const indicator = indicators.find(i => i.ticker === price.ticker);
  const arrow = price.change >= 0 ? '↑' : '↓';
  const color = price.change >= 0 ? '\x1b[32m' : '\x1b[31m';

  console.log(
    `${indicator.name.padEnd(15)} ${price.price.toFixed(2).padStart(10)} ` +
    `${color}${arrow} ${price.changePercent.toFixed(2)}%\x1b[0m`
  );
});

Provider Health and Statistics

Monitor your provider health and track usage:

// Check provider health
const health = await stockService.checkProvidersHealth();
console.log(`Marketstack: ${health.get('Marketstack') ? '✅' : '❌'}`);

// Get provider statistics
const stats = stockService.getProviderStats();
const marketstackStats = stats.get('Marketstack');
console.log('Marketstack Stats:', {
  successCount: marketstackStats.successCount,
  errorCount: marketstackStats.errorCount,
  lastError: marketstackStats.lastError
});

Handelsregister Integration

Automate German company data retrieval:

import { OpenData } from '@fin.cx/opendata';
import * as path from 'path';

// Configure paths first
const openData = new OpenData({
  nogitDir: path.join(process.cwd(), '.nogit'),
  downloadDir: path.join(process.cwd(), '.nogit', 'downloads'),
  germanBusinessDataDir: path.join(process.cwd(), '.nogit', 'germanbusinessdata')
});
await openData.start();

// Search for a company
const results = await openData.handelsregister.searchCompany("Siemens AG");

// Get detailed information and documents
const details = await openData.handelsregister.getSpecificCompany({
  court: "Munich",
  type: "HRB",
  number: "6684"
});

// Downloaded files include:
// - XML data (SI files)
// - PDF documents (AD files)
for (const file of details.files) {
  await file.writeToDir('./downloads');
}

Combined Data Analysis

Merge financial and business data:

import { OpenData, StockPriceService, MarketstackProvider } from '@fin.cx/opendata';
import * as path from 'path';

// Configure OpenData with paths
const openData = new OpenData({
  nogitDir: path.join(process.cwd(), '.nogit'),
  downloadDir: path.join(process.cwd(), '.nogit', 'downloads'),
  germanBusinessDataDir: path.join(process.cwd(), '.nogit', 'germanbusinessdata')
});
await openData.start();

// Setup stock service
const stockService = new StockPriceService({ ttl: 60000, maxEntries: 1000 });
stockService.register(new MarketstackProvider('YOUR_API_KEY'));

// Find all public German companies (AG)
const publicCompanies = await openData.db
  .collection('businessrecords')
  .find({ legalForm: 'AG' })
  .toArray();

// Enrich with stock data
for (const company of publicCompanies) {
  try {
    // Map company to ticker (custom logic needed)
    const ticker = mapCompanyToTicker(company.data.name);

    if (ticker) {
      const stock = await stockService.getPrice({ ticker });

      // Add financial metrics
      company.data.stockPrice = stock.price;
      company.data.marketCap = stock.price * getSharesOutstanding(ticker);
      company.data.priceChange = stock.changePercent;

      await company.save();
    }
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle missing tickers gracefully
  }
}

  priority = 50;
  requiresAuth = true;

  async fetchPrice(request: IStockQuoteRequest): Promise<IStockPrice> {
    // Your implementation
  }

  async fetchPrices(request: IStockBatchQuoteRequest): Promise<IStockPrice[]> {
    // Batch implementation
  }

  async isAvailable(): Promise<boolean> {
    // Health check
  }

  supportsMarket(market: string): boolean {
    // Market validation
  }

  supportsTicker(ticker: string): boolean {
    // Ticker validation
  }
}

stockService.register(new MyCustomProvider());
