Chrome extension

- Publicly available on the Chrome Web Store
- Current public version: 1.0.0
- Downloads CSV files from Chrome
Which version should I use?
- On Windows, either version serves the same basic purpose. Choose the desktop version for a standalone app, or the Chrome extension if you prefer to work inside Chrome.
- On a Mac, the Chrome extension is the first option to consider. The macOS desktop builds are unnotarized evaluation builds, so macOS may show a warning when you first launch them.
- Both save Chart Playback-compatible daily CSV files, but because their data sources and retrieval methods differ, available data and results may not always be identical.
What both versions can do
- Retrieve one instrument at a time by code or ticker
- Select a start and end date
- Save daily price data as CSV
- Support Japanese stocks, U.S. stocks, crypto assets, futures and indexes, and foreign exchange
Data may not be available depending on the instrument, data-source status, or specification changes. Check dates, prices, missing values, and similar details before use.
Basic use
- Choose either the desktop version or the Chrome extension.
- Select a market type and enter an instrument code or ticker.
- Select a start and end date, then retrieve the price data.
- Save the daily data as a CSV file on your device.
- Use the saved CSV with Chart Playback when needed.
