Issue with searchIndicator not returning results for some search terms.
Hello when I do searchIndicator with this search term: "Squeeze Momentum Indicator [LazyBear]"
it returns nothing.
If I do searchIndicator on just "Squeeze" the first result is this:
[
{
id: 'PUB;175',
version: '-1',
name: 'Squeeze Momentum Indicator [LazyBear]',
author: { id: 175, username: 'LazyBear' },
image: 'nqQ1DT5a',
access: 'open_source',
source: '//\r\n' +
'// @author LazyBear \r\n' +
....
type: 'study',
get: [Function: get]
},
{ ....
any idea why I cant find this one by name?
I also tried various other search terms none worked like Squeeze Momentum Squeeze Momentum Indicator %5BLazyBear%5D Squeeze0Momentum%20Indicator%20%5BLazyBear%5D
no results for all
code i used to test:
const rs = await TradingView.searchIndicator(search_term);
console.log(rs.slice(0, 10));
Kindly assist me, thank you
hey btw i have figured out a work around and know the cause of the bug too. u have a line
const { data } = await axios.get(
'https://www.tradingview.com/pubscripts-suggest-json',
{
params: {
search: search.replace(/ /g, '%20'),
},
validateStatus,
},
);
which is coverting space characters to %20 but in ur url this becomes %2520 which is not a space character. So the search returns nothing. I have temporarily resolved it by using + in place of space as this does not get affected by ur replace string and is treated the same in the url. Thansk for this repo btw, its awesome and ur awesome. Hope this helps to resolve a bug.
