I created this wrapper to make accessing the AlphaVantage API fairly simple and fun by providing a fluent interface with Java.
To get started using this library, make sure to get an API Key from Alphavantage's website. Add the library as a dependency to your java/android project
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
dependencies {
...
implementation 'com.github.crazzyghost:alphavantage-java:x.y.z'
}
<repositories>

<artifactId>alphavantage-java</artifactId>
<version>x.y.z</version>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
These five steps summarize how to access data using this library
config
ure the wrapper- Select a
category
- Set the
parameters
for the selected category - Add
response callbacks
fetch
results
Access to the API is through the AlphaVantage Singleton which is accessed using the static
api()
method of the class. Initialize the singleton with a Config
instance once through out your apps lifetime.
Config cfg = Config.builder()
.key("#&ALPHA10100DEMOKEY")
.timeOut(10)
.build();
The config object is then used to initialize the instance. You will use this object to set your api key and configure the http client. Using the wrapper without setting a config or a config key will throw an exception.
AlphaVantage.api().init(cfg);
We're good to go.
Here, we choose which data category/endpoint we want to access
Category | Method |
---|---|
Stock Time Series Data | .timeSeries() |
Forex Rate Data | .forex() |
Exchange Rate Data | .exchangeRate() |
Digital Currency Data | .crypto() |
Technical Indicator Data | .indicator() |
Sector Performance Data | .sector() |
For example, to select the Stock Time Series:
AlphaVantage.api()
.timeSeries()
To set the api request parameters, call the appopriate parameter methods. For instance for the function
parameter function you call daily()
for the TIME_SERIES_DAILY
function, intraday()
for the TIME_SERIES_INTRADAY
, and so on.
Let's select the TIME_SERIES_INTRADAY
function
AlphaVantage.api()
.timeSeries()
.intraday()
...
Start setting parameters by calling an appropriate function method in the selected category
To handle responses add the onSuccess()
or onFailure()
callbacks.
public void handleSuccess(TimeSeriesResponse response) {
plotGraph(reponse.getStockUnits());
}
public void handleFailure(AlphaVantageException error) {
/* uh-oh! */
}
AlphaVantage.api()
.timeSeries()
.intraday()
.forSymbol("IBM")
.interval(Interval.FIVE_MIN)
.outputSize(OutputSize.FULL)
.onSuccess(e->handleSuccess(e))
.onFailure(e->hanldeFailure(e))
...
When you are okay with setting the parameters call the fetch()
method. Simple!
AlphaVantage.api()
.timeSeries()
.intraday()
.forSymbol("IBM")
.interval(Interval.FIVE_MIN)
.outputSize(OutputSize.FULL)
.onSuccess(e->handleSuccess(e))
.onFailure(e->hanldeFailure(e))
.fetch();
That's it! 🎉 See site for more examples & documentation
