# Technical Indicators APIs

All technical indicators work with equities, forex pairs, and crypto. Calculated from adjusted time series data.

## Common Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Values |
|-----------|----------|--------|
| `symbol` | Yes | Ticker (e.g., `IBM`), forex pair (`USDEUR`), or crypto pair (`BTCUSD`) |
| `interval` | Yes | `1min`, `5min`, `15min`, `30min`, `60min`, `daily`, `weekly`, `monthly` |
| `time_period` | Most | Number of periods (e.g., `14`, `20`, `50`, `200`) |
| `series_type` | Most | `close`, `open`, `high`, `low` |
| `month` | No | `YYYY-MM` for specific historical month |
| `datatype` | No | `json` or `csv` |

## Multi-Indicator Analysis Example

```python
import pandas as pd

def get_indicator_series(function, symbol, interval="daily", **kwargs):
    data = av_get(function, symbol=symbol, interval=interval, **kwargs)
    key = f"Technical Analysis: {function}"
    ts = data[key]
    rows = []
    for date, values in ts.items():
        row = {"date": date}
        row.update(values)
        rows.append(row)
    df = pd.DataFrame(rows)
    df["date"] = pd.to_datetime(df["date"])
    df = df.set_index("date").sort_index()
    return df.astype(float)

# Get RSI and BBANDS for signal generation
rsi = get_indicator_series("RSI", "AAPL", time_period=14, series_type="close")
bbands = get_indicator_series("BBANDS", "AAPL", time_period=20, series_type="close")

# Oversold condition: RSI < 30 AND price near lower band
print("Recent RSI values:")
print(rsi["RSI"].tail(5))
