Web Request - $EVZ (barchart.com)

[FaulknerTrading1]

Hi coders,

I am looking to create a webrequest from https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/$EVZ/interactive-chart , in order to extract the EVZ value into a local variable.

I would use the value in combination with condition blocks, to determine the level risk I place on a given trade!.

Specifically, I want to extract the Circled Number as shown in the screenshot.

Thanks for the support!

How can you request data from barchart.com ?

Friend, I hope to try to help with something.

First I identified the path through Google Chrome by inspecting elements

https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/$EVZ/interactive-chart/
<span class="last-change ng-binding" data-ng-class="highlightValue('lastPrice')">6.87</span>

I'm not a programmer, but I believe it's possible for you to extract this value in some way using an API, it could be via Google Sheet, Pyton, in Fxdreema I still believe there is some way to get to this result and extract it, I've already had to do something similar and created a form on google that I inserted and updated in the google sheet so that at the end I could read it via fxdreema's http request block, but it was very complex, if I discover something I'll come back to this post to tell you, but there are some expert guys here who will perhaps intervene to help you more easily.

@sktsec This is a very smart concept.

I actually think I may have an idea or two from this, so I will play around for some time.

I will start with google sheets and then see if excel makes things easier.

Once I make some progress, I will report here

@OntradingX @sktsec thanks for the support so far!

@OntradingX @sktsec I think I am onto something

(steps so far)

1. Create google doc
2. Choose a cell, then follow path --> INSERT > SMART CHIPS > FINANCE > Type in EVZ ( its the CBOE Eurocurrency Volatility Index we use here).

I have checked the values and they match the values shown on barchart website, so it is possible to get the accurate values on google sheets/ excel

Next stage is creating a readble variable in fxdreema

@FaulknerTrading1 Perfect, I believe your next step is to create a google script or google api and publish this value on the web. Once this is done, point Fxdreema using the http request (get) block to this link and save the result in your variable within Fxdreema .
Post here if it works, even if you can make a tutorial, I believe it will help many people learn how to do this, which is very useful.

https://www.alphavantage.co/ I'm working on intergrating an API through this provider. They seem to have all of the volatility data one could need. I took a break from this mission for personal reasons but I am back, hopefully we can create a solution

This provider was recommended by chat gpt and seems to be completely free
