Hello!
I updated data from finam data provider. Usually there are "X bars added" shows up, where X > 0. But today there are zeros. Every symbol. File attached.
Can you help with that please?
Thanks

Hello,

We cannot help as this is not our data provider's issue. Their web server returns Error 403 on random requests. If the issue persists tomorrow, let me suggest you contact Finam directly via their website forum dedicated to their "data export" service:

http://forum.finam.ru/topics/61-Ehksport-dannykh

You might also want to keep an eye on said forum should you encounter an issue like this in the future. Thanks.

You say "Their web server returns Error 403 on random requests".

What is the address used in the extension?

Knowing the URL is not a use case and we will not make the details of our implementation public.

This issue has started today following the turbulence of Russian markets so I guess that dust may settle soon.

It appears that Finam has suddenly improved their bot detection. This is the culprit behind "0 bars added". What they've done may be a temporary decision to decrease load on their server during the turbulent market.

It's pretty evident what to do to work around it but I'll take a short break to see if their change is only for a time or is here to stay. If the latter is true I'd issue a hotfix.

Thanks for the heads-up Dmitriy!

Dmitriy, good news: the issue has been fixed. Please update the extension and restart WLD.

* Finam provider: fixed "0 bars added" on data update (due to improved bot detection).

Note! Data updates will have to become quite slower due to an extra delay to avoid the new protection

This thread dealt with a specific issue when a now outdated provider version returned "0 bars added" on data update. The issue does NOT exist as it has been fixed two months ago. I can ascertain that the provider correctly downloads the data in different bar scales for different instruments. If your data update log does not contain a "0 bars added" for each symbol being updated (of which I'm sure) then you're better off re-posting in a more suitable thread concerning Finam provider (or simply starting a new one) with more details. Thanks.

Dmitry,

April 2018 is long gone, that issue has been fixed but you're raising this topic for what clearly is a different, totally unrelated issue. :/ As you can see in the online user guide > Usage notes, those futures symbols have always been a problem. Please follow suggestion in the Wiki. Unfortunately, this is a limitation we have to live with.

P.S. Finam has never supported this provider nor participated in its creation. It's purely unofficial.

Just to make sure it works I've created an EOD DataSet with just those MOEX Futures symbols and here they are:

CODE:
Please log in to see this code.


I don't have those symbols in other DataSets (MOEX Stocks) so no problem. But it's Daily data; I haven't tried out intraday. As long as your provider version is >= 2018.08 it should do its best to grab the intraday data completely.

Hi,

Typically, issues have already been raised before and answers can be found as you type them by entering a few keywords in the "Search Forum..." text box. Try searching for "finam" and you shall find my answer right in the topmost thread. It can't be easier! :) Search is one of the most important skills.

Russian customers, meet new data provider! The MOEX provider delivers free intraday and daily historical and streaming data (for stocks, bonds, indices, currencies and futures/options) straight from the Moscow Exchange.

Unfortunately, the WL6 provider extension for Finam has stopped working due to a breaking change at Finam's website. In Wealth-Lab 8 this will be fixed by upcoming build 11 of the Russia extension:

https://www.wealth-lab.com/Software/Download
https://www.wealth-lab.com/extension/detail/Russia

As fixing the WL6 version is not planned, please consider upgrading to WL8.
