Hi, I see that the 'close' price on the api is from the previous days data. From this thread, it is mentioned that todays closing price can be obtained in the next day at around 8 am.
Is its possible to get the close data on the same day itself ?
I am fairly new to this, so could you point me to how this close price is determined ? As it is not available in the api, would it be possible to compute the close price ?
The closing price of a stock on the exchange is calculated as the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of all trades executed during the last 30 minutes of the trading session. You can read about VWAP here. You may calculate it using API but may not be accurate as you do not get tick-by-tick data via API. You can close price on the same day in exchange bhavcopy.
