# Finam Trade API Skill

## Setup

**Prerequisites:** `$FINAM_API_KEY` and `$FINAM_ACCOUNT_ID` must be already set in your environment.

If not configured by environment, follow these steps:

1. Register and obtain your API Key from [tokens page](https://tradeapi.finam.ru/docs/tokens)
2. Obtain your Account ID from your [Finam account dashboard](https://lk.finam.ru/)
3. Set environment variables:

```shell
export FINAM_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
export FINAM_ACCOUNT_ID="your_account_id_here"
```

Obtain JWT token before using the API:

```shell
export FINAM_JWT_TOKEN=$(curl -sL "https://api.finam.ru/v1/sessions" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"secret": "'"$FINAM_API_KEY"'"}' | jq -r '.token')
```

**Note:** Token expires after 15 minutes. Re-run this command if you receive authentication errors.

## Market assets

### List Available Exchanges and Equities

**Symbol Format:** All symbols must be in `ticker@mic` format (e.g., `SBER@MISX`)
**Base MIC Codes:**

- `MISX` - Moscow Exchange
- `RUSX` - RTS
- `XNGS` - NASDAQ/NGS
- `XNMS` - NASDAQ/NNS
- `XNYS` - New York Stock Exchange

View all supported exchanges with their MIC codes:

```shell
jq -r '.exchanges[] | "\(.mic) - \(.name)"' assets/exchanges.json
```

List stocks available on a specific exchange:

```shell
MIC="MISX"
LIMIT=20
jq -r ".$MIC[:$LIMIT] | .[] | \"\(.symbol) - \(.name)\"" assets/equities.json
```

### Get Asset Specification

Fetch detailed specification for a specific instrument (lot size, price step, decimals, trading schedule, etc.):

```shell
SYMBOL="SBER@MISX"
curl -sL "https://api.finam.ru/v1/assets/$SYMBOL?account_id=$FINAM_ACCOUNT_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: $FINAM_JWT_TOKEN" | jq
```

`account_id` is optional but recommended — returns account-specific fields (margin, available quantity, etc.).

### Search Assets

Search instruments by ticker glob pattern and/or name substring:

```shell
# By ticker glob
python3 scripts/asset_search.py 'SBER*'

# By name (case-insensitive substring)
python3 scripts/asset_search.py --name 'apple'

# By ticker glob + type filter
python3 scripts/asset_search.py 'NG*' --type FUTURES

# Search across all instruments (including archived) via /assets/all
python3 scripts/asset_search.py 'NG*' --type FUTURES --active false
```

Available types: `EQUITIES`, `FUTURES`, `BONDS`, `FUNDS`, `SPREADS`, `OTHER`, `CURRENCIES`, `OPTIONS`, `SWAPS`, `INDICES`

`--max=N` switches to `GET /v1/assets/all` with pagination (rate limit: 200 req/min). `--active false` includes archived instruments.

### Get Top N Stocks by Volume

Pre-ranked lists of the 100 most liquid equities for each market, ordered by trading volume descending:

```shell
N=10
jq -r ".[:$N] | .[] | \"\(.ticker) - \(.name)\"" assets/top_ru_equities.json
```

```shell
N=10
jq -r ".[:$N] | .[] | \"\(.ticker) - \(.name)\"" assets/top_us_equities.json
```

## Account Management

### Get Account Portfolio

```

## Market Data

### Get Latest Quote

Retrieve current bid/ask prices and last trade:

```shell

curl -sL "https://api.finam.ru/v1/instruments/$SYMBOL/quotes/latest" \
  --header "Authorization: $FINAM_JWT_TOKEN" | jq
```

### Get Order Book (Depth)

View current market depth with bid/ask levels:

```shell

### Get Historical Candles (OHLCV)

Retrieve historical price data with specified timeframe:

```shell
SYMBOL="SBER@MISX"
TIMEFRAME="TIME_FRAME_D"
START_TIME="2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"
END_TIME="2024-04-01T00:00:00Z"
curl -sL "https://api.finam.ru/v1/instruments/$SYMBOL/bars?timeframe=$TIMEFRAME&interval.start_time=$START_TIME&interval.end_time=$END_TIME" \
  --header "Authorization: $FINAM_JWT_TOKEN" | jq
```

**Available Timeframes:**

| Timeframe | Description | Max data depth (end_time - start_time) |
|---|---|---|
| `TIME_FRAME_UNSPECIFIED` | Not specified | — |
| `TIME_FRAME_M1` | 1 minute | 7 days |
| `TIME_FRAME_M5` | 5 minutes | 30 days |
| `TIME_FRAME_M15` | 15 minutes | 30 days |
| `TIME_FRAME_M30` | 30 minutes | 30 days |

| `TIME_FRAME_QR` | Quarter | ~5 years |

> **Note:** The max data depth is the maximum allowed range for `end_time - start_time`. If the range exceeds the limit, the API returns empty data.

> before executing.

### Place Order

**Order Types:**

- `ORDER_TYPE_MARKET` - Market order (executes immediately, no `limit_price` required)
- `ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT` - Limit order (requires `limit_price`)

```shell
curl -sL "https://api.finam.ru/v1/accounts/$FINAM_ACCOUNT_ID/orders" \
  --header "Authorization: $FINAM_JWT_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \

    --arg symbol   "SBER@MISX" \
    --arg quantity "10" \
    --arg side     "SIDE_BUY" \
    --arg type     "ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT" \
    --arg price    "310.50" \

  | jq
```

**Parameters:**

- `symbol` - Instrument (e.g., `SBER@MISX`)
- `quantity.value` - Number of shares/contracts
- `side` - `SIDE_BUY` or `SIDE_SELL`
- `type` - `ORDER_TYPE_MARKET` or `ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT`
- `limit_price` - Only for `ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT` (omit for market orders)

### Get Order Status

Check the status of a specific order:

```shell
ORDER_ID="12345678"
curl -sL "https://api.finam.ru/v1/accounts/$FINAM_ACCOUNT_ID/orders/$ORDER_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: $FINAM_JWT_TOKEN" | jq
```

### Cancel Order

Cancel a pending order:

```shell
ORDER_ID="12345678"
curl -sL --request DELETE "https://api.finam.ru/v1/accounts/$FINAM_ACCOUNT_ID/orders/$ORDER_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: $FINAM_JWT_TOKEN" | jq
```

## Volatility Scanner

Scans the top-100 stocks for a given market and prints the most volatile ones based on annualized historical volatility (close-to-close, last 60 days).

**Usage:**

```shell
python3 scripts/volatility.py [ru|us] [N]
```

**Arguments:**

- `ru` / `us` — market to scan (default: `ru`)
- `N` — number of top results to display (default: `10`)

**Examples:**

```shell
# Top 10 most volatile Russian stocks
python3 scripts/volatility.py ru 10

# Top 5 most volatile US stocks
python3 scripts/volatility.py us 5
```

All scripts support `--help` for usage details (e.g. `python3 scripts/volatility.py --help`).

## REST vs gRPC — When to Use Which

**Use REST when:**

- Fetching historical OHLCV data for backtesting or analysis
- Retrieving account info, positions, balances, and trade history
- Searching instruments or fetching asset specifications
- Placing or cancelling a one-off order where 100–200 ms latency is acceptable
- Checking order status after placement

**Use gRPC when:**

- Subscribing to real-time market data: quotes, order book, trade feed
- Processing live bar data (M1, M5) for signal generation in event-driven strategies
- Monitoring own orders and trades in real time via subscription
- Your strategy requires minimal latency for rapid order placement/cancellation
- Building long-running trading bots that need persistent, auto-reconnecting connections

For gRPC, use the [FinamPy](https://github.com/cia76/FinamPy) Python library (
`pip install git+https://github.com/cia76/FinamPy.git`).
