What HT_DCPERIOD does?

This API returns the Hilbert transform, dominant cycle period (HT_DCPERIOD) values. The related REST API documentation is here


Including the HT_DCPERIOD namespace

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


using Avapi.AvapiHT_DCPERIOD

How to get a HT_DCPERIOD object?

The HT_DCPERIOD 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 HT_DCPERIOD from it.


...
Int_HT_DCPERIOD htdcperiod = 
	connection.GetQueryObject_HT_DCPERIOD();

Perform a HT_DCPERIOD Synchronous Request

To perform a HT_DCPERIOD request you have 2 options:

  1. The request with constants:

IAvapiResponse_HT_DCPERIOD Query(string symbol,
		HT_DCPERIOD_interval interval,
		HT_DCPERIOD_series_type series_type);

  1. The request without constants:

IAvapiResponse_HT_DCPERIOD QueryPrimitive(string symbol,
		string interval,
		string series_type);

Perform an HT_DCPERIOD Asynchronous Request

To perform an HT_DCPERIOD asynchronous request you have 2 options:

  1. The request with constants:

async Task<IAvapiResponse_HT_DCPERIOD> QueryAsync(string symbol,
		HT_DCPERIOD_interval interval,
		HT_DCPERIOD_series_type series_type);

  1. The request without constants:

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

Parameters

The parameters below are needed to perform the HT_DCPERIOD request.

  • symbol: The name of the equity
  • interval: The time interval between two consecutive data points in the time series.
  • 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:

  • HT_DCPERIOD_interval
  • HT_DCPERIOD_series_type

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


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

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


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


HT_DCPERIOD Response

The response of a HT_DCPERIOD request is an object that implements the IAvapiResponse_HT_DCPERIOD interface.


public interface IAvapiResponse_HT_DCPERIOD
{
    string RawData
    {
        get;
    }
    IAvapiResponse_HT_DCPERIOD_Content Data
    {
        get;
    }
}

The IAvapiResponse_HT_DCPERIOD 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_HT_DCPERIOD_Content.

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

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

            // Get the HT_DCPERIOD query object
            Int_HT_DCPERIOD ht_dcperiod =
                connection.GetQueryObject_HT_DCPERIOD();

                 Const_HT_DCPERIOD.HT_DCPERIOD_series_type.close);
