CMO

What CMO does?

This API returns the Chande momentum oscillator (CMO) values. The related REST API documentation is here

---

Including the CMO namespace

The very first thing to do before diving into CMO calls is to include the right namespace.

using Avapi.AvapiCMO

How to get a CMO object?

The CMO object is retrieved from the Connection object.

The snippet below shows how to get the Connection object:

...
IAvapiConnection connection = AvapiConnection.Instance
connection.Connect("Your Alpha Vantage API Key !!!!");
...

Once you got the Connection object you can extract the CMO from it.

...
Int_CMO cmo = 
	connection.GetQueryObject_CMO();

Perform a CMO Synchronous Request

To perform a CMO request you have 2 options:

1. The request with constants:

IAvapiResponse_CMO Query(string symbol,
		CMO_interval interval,
		int time_period,
		CMO_series_type series_type);

2. The request without constants:

IAvapiResponse_CMO QueryPrimitive(string symbol,
		string interval,
		string time_period,
		string series_type);

Perform an CMO Asynchronous Request

To perform an CMO asynchronous request you have 2 options:

1. The request with constants:

async Task<IAvapiResponse_CMO> QueryAsync(string symbol,
		CMO_interval interval,
		int time_period,
		CMO_series_type series_type);

2. The request without constants:

async Task<IAvapiResponse_CMO> QueryAsync(string symbol,
		string interval,
		string time_period,
		string series_type);

Parameters

The parameters below are needed to perform the CMO request.

• symbol: The name of the equity
• interval: The time interval between two consecutive data points in the time series.
• time_period: Number of data points used to calculate each CMO value.
• series_type: The price type in the time series. The types supported are: close, open, high, low

Please notice that the info above are copied from the official alphavantage documentation, that you can find here.

The request with constants

The request with constants implies the use of different enums:

• CMO_interval
• CMO_series_type

CMO_interval: The time interval between two consecutive data points in the time series.

public enum CMO_interval
{
	none,
	n_1min,
	n_5min,
	n_15min,
	n_30min,
	n_60min,
	daily,
	weekly,
	monthly
}

CMO_series_type: The price type in the time series. The types supported are: close, open, high, low

public enum CMO_series_type
{
	none,
	close,
	open,
	high,
	low
}

---

CMO Response

The response of a CMO request is an object that implements the IAvapiResponse_CMO interface.

public interface IAvapiResponse_CMO
{
    string RawData
    {
        get;
    }
    IAvapiResponse_CMO_Content Data
    {
        get;
    }
}

The IAvapiResponse_CMO interface has two members: RawData and Data.

• RawData: represents the json response in string format.
• Data: It represents the parsed response in an object implementing the interface IAvapiResponse_CMO_Content.

Complete Example of a Console App: Display the result of a CMO request by using the method Query (synchronous request)

using System;
using System.IO;
using Avapi.AvapiCMO;

namespace Avapi

    public class Example

            // Set up the connection and pass the API_KEY provided by alphavantage.co
            connection.Connect("Your Alpha Vantage API Key !!!!");

            // Get the CMO query object
            Int_CMO cmo =
                connection.GetQueryObject_CMO();

                 Const_CMO.CMO_series_type.close);
