tradingview-ta

What it is and what it does

Tradingview-ta is an unofficial Python wrapper that queries TradingView's servers to retrieve technical analysis data—indicators, trading signals, and summary recommendations—for financial symbols. It avoids the overhead of browser automation (used in earlier versions) by making direct HTTP requests via requests, making it faster for bulk analysis retrieval.

The package is designed for developers building trading bots, market scanners, or analysis dashboards who want TradingView's technical indicators without maintaining a Selenium-based scraper. It supports multiple symbols, configurable timeframes, and different screeners and exchanges. However, it is an unofficial API wrapper, meaning TradingView could change or block access at any time, and the project itself has been archived and unmaintained since March 2024.

Use it for:

• Fetch daily or intraday technical analysis for a stock symbol to inform automated trading decisions.
• Build a market scanner that retrieves buy/sell signals across multiple symbols in bulk.
• Populate a trading dashboard with real-time indicator summaries from TradingView without browser overhead.
• Backtest trading strategies that rely on TradingView's technical analysis recommendations.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Retrieves technical analysis indicators and trading signals from TradingView for financial symbols without requiring Selenium or a browser.

No. The project is archived and abandoned, with no commits since March 2024 and no updates since the October 2022 release. While the code is permissively licensed and has low install friction, relying on an unmaintained unofficial API wrapper to TradingView—which can change without notice—poses significant risk for production trading systems. Consider a maintained alternative or TradingView's official API if available.

Installing tradingview-ta

Before you install

Low install friction with a single dependency (requests). However, the project is archived and abandoned as of March 2024, with no updates since the latest release in October 2022. Use only if you accept that bug fixes and feature updates will not be forthcoming.

License in practice

MIT license permits free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions. You may use this in commercial projects, but the permissive license includes no warranty—the author explicitly disclaims liability for trading losses.

Quickstart

from tradingview_ta import TA_Handler, Interval

handler = TA_Handler(
    symbol="TSLA",
    screener="america",
    exchange="NASDAQ",
    interval=Interval.INTERVAL_1_DAY
)
analysis = handler.get_analysis()
print(analysis.summary)

Requires Python 3.6 or newer. TradingView may change its API or block requests without notice, since this is an unofficial wrapper.

Verify before relying

• Whether TradingView's API remains stable and accessible given the package's abandoned status.
• Current reliability of technical analysis data retrieved, given no maintenance since October 2022.
• Support status for newer TradingView features or symbol types added after the last release.
