}About the tradingview.com API
This API exposes 3 endpoints that return live forex data sourced from TradingView, covering price quotes, technical indicators, and multi-pair scans. The get_quote endpoint alone surfaces over 20 response fields — including bid, ask, spread, RSI, ATX, MACD, and 8 performance-period metrics. The get_technicals endpoint adds full pivot point tables and 14+ moving average values, while scan_forex lets you query an entire watchlist in one call.
Endpoints and What They Return
The get_quote endpoint accepts a symbol parameter (e.g., EURUSD, GBPUSD) and an optional exchange value (FX, OANDA, or FX_IDC). It returns a price object containing close, open, high, low, bid, ask, and spread, alongside a change object with both change_percent and change_abs. The indicators object covers rsi, stoch_k, stoch_d, macd, macd_signal, atr, and volatility_daily. A performance object breaks down returns across eight time horizons: weekly, monthly, three months, six months, YTD, yearly, five years, and all-time.
Technical Analysis Depth
The get_technicals endpoint returns the same symbol and close fields but goes deeper on analysis. The oscillators object includes cci, adx, adx_plus_di, adx_minus_di, awesome_oscillator, and momentum in addition to the standard RSI and MACD values. The moving_averages object covers EMA and SMA at 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, and 200 periods, plus hull_ma_9, vwma, and Ichimoku values. The pivot_points object provides both Classic and Fibonacci levels — r3, r2, r1, pivot, s1, s2, s3 — for each method. A recommendation object returns overall, moving_averages, and oscillators signals with numeric scores.
Scanning Multiple Pairs
The scan_forex endpoint accepts a comma-separated symbols string (e.g., EURUSD,GBPUSD,USDJPY) and returns a pairs array with per-pair fields including close, open, high, low, bid, ask, change_percent, change_abs, and volume. A total integer confirms how many pairs were returned. This makes it practical to build a live dashboard or run cross-pair comparisons without issuing multiple sequential requests.

Does TradingView have an official developer API?+
What does the `technicals_summary` object in `get_quote` contain versus the `recommendation` object in `get_technicals`?+
overall, moving_averages, and oscillators signal labels along with a scores sub-object containing numeric values for each. The difference is scope: get_quote bundles this summary alongside price and performance data in a single call, while get_technicals pairs the recommendation with the full underlying indicator values — all oscillators, all moving averages, and pivot points — so you can see what drove the signal.Which exchanges or data sources are supported?+
exchange parameter currently accepts FX, OANDA, and FX_IDC. Not all pairs are available on all three sources, so if a symbol returns no data on one exchange, switching to another may resolve it.Does the API cover cryptocurrency or equity pairs from TradingView?+
symbol and exchange parameters are designed around currency pairs like EURUSD or USDJPY. Crypto tokens, stocks, indices, and futures are not covered. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add endpoints targeting those asset classes.
