Alternatives to QCollector ??

I need to download 30min bars data for the nasdaq100 stocks, so I registered to QCharts and I have tried to collect some data using HyperTools and QCollector. But here are my problems:


-Hypertools: It can only collect Tick or Daily data. Not suitable for the case.

-QCollector: While it has the option to select any interval, it actually downloads 1min data and it translates them in realtime to the selected interval. As a result, I would need almost an hour of downloading time for each stock (for 5 years of data), and the CPU is always at 100%. Not efficient at all.



Is there any other alternatives for downloading 30min bars from QCharts ??

Thanks

 

Try eSignal's Desktop API. It will do what you want.

 

I guess that you are talking about TurboFeed. However "Currently, TurboFeed offerings are available for institutional and corporate use only and do not include individual usage."

The Desktop API is available for individual users and is a great value for the price:

Hmmm...I suppose that could depend on the interval you request, but my Qcollector doesn't act that way for say daily or 30m candles. (never tried an interval between 30m and 1m)
