What HT_TRENDLINE does?

This API returns the Hilbert transform, instantaneous trendline (HT_TRENDLINE) values. The related REST API documentation is here


Including the HT_TRENDLINE namespace

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


using Avapi.AvapiHT_TRENDLINE

How to get a HT_TRENDLINE object?

The HT_TRENDLINE 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_TRENDLINE from it.


...
Int_HT_TRENDLINE httrendline = 
	connection.GetQueryObject_HT_TRENDLINE();

Perform a HT_TRENDLINE Synchronous Request

To perform a HT_TRENDLINE request you have 2 options:

  1. The request with constants:

IAvapiResponse_HT_TRENDLINE Query(string symbol,
		HT_TRENDLINE_interval interval,
		HT_TRENDLINE_series_type series_type);

  1. The request without constants:

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

Perform an HT_TRENDLINE Asynchronous Request

To perform an HT_TRENDLINE asynchronous request you have 2 options:

  1. The request with constants:

async Task<IAvapiResponse_HT_TRENDLINE> QueryAsync(string symbol,
		HT_TRENDLINE_interval interval,
		HT_TRENDLINE_series_type series_type);

  1. The request without constants:

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

Parameters

The parameters below are needed to perform the HT_TRENDLINE 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_TRENDLINE_interval
  • HT_TRENDLINE_series_type

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


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

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


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


HT_TRENDLINE Response

The response of a HT_TRENDLINE request is an object that implements the IAvapiResponse_HT_TRENDLINE interface.


public interface IAvapiResponse_HT_TRENDLINE
{
    string RawData
    {
        get;
    }
    IAvapiResponse_HT_TRENDLINE_Content Data
    {
        get;
    }
}

The IAvapiResponse_HT_TRENDLINE 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_TRENDLINE_Content.

Complete Example of a Console App: Display the result of a HT_TRENDLINE 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_TRENDLINE query object
            Int_HT_TRENDLINE ht_trendline =
