fx-1-minute-data's Issues
Thanks for the dataset, but shouldn't there be ,
instead of ;
in the CSV files?
Max retries exceeded with URL.
I think the Hisdata website's certificate expired.
Hey, what would be the most efficient way to download all of the FX pair data using the API?
Out of curiosity, tested compressing files since this repo hitting storage limit. Used the GBPUSD folder as a test: https://github.com/philipperemy/FX-1-Minute-Data/tree/master/2000-Jun2019/gbpusd
Extracted contents of each zip file
Compressed all the CSV and TXT files using 7zip CLI: 7z a -r -mx=9 gbpusd *.csv *.txt
New zip file: 27mb
Original folder size: 52mb
There are other compression algorithms/tools that have higher compression ratios, but found them to be unstable or too slow.
