With the number of issues faced by the community with Getbhavcopy version 2.1.6a I felt it would be best to release a new version, but in doing so, it would make sense to have some functionality released in the new version rather than simply rebuild version 2.1.6a.

So I am releasing version 2.1.7a that fixes the issue with BSE Indices data download which has been broken since a long time.

Additionally, I used this opportunity to completely automate my...

I Need your Help.

NSE has updated the NSE indices data page with some additional checks that blocked Getbhavcopy. It also changed the HTML code a bit causing the Getbhavcopy parser to fail.

This has now been fixed in version 2.1.2a.

I understand the frustration you all feel when Getbhavcopy does not work, that itself speaks for the value of this software, but that I would like to make a few points clear to the community due the recent allegations I have come across

First of all apologies for the inconvenience caused due to the 403 Forbidden error message that started showing up recently. NSE has made some changes on their server side that blocked Getbhavcopy (and other similar downloaders) from downloading data.
