Pine Seeds documentation

Overview

Pine Seeds is a service for importing your custom data on the TradingView platform.

This service allows you to:

  • connect your series data to TradingView
  • visualize it in the TradingView UI
  • use it to create indicators

Use TradingView as your frontend and use a GitHub repository as your backend.

Keep in mind that such data has certain limitations (we call them EOD data):

  • the data can only be updated a few times per day
  • only the daily resolution is available
  • the number of data elements (symbols) is limited to 1000
  • such data will not appear in the symbol search box

Setting up the service includes several steps:

Example

You just need to set up the repository, upload your data to it and wait for it to be uploaded to the TradingView platform.

SEED_CRYPTO_SANTIMENT:BTC_DEV_ACTIVITY is an example of custom data integration. You can work with it on your Chart.

The symbol name is uniquely determined by Github settings.

  • SEED is a mandatory prefix for this type of data
  • CRYPTO is the name of github.com/crypto GitHub account
  • SANTIMENT is the name of github.com/crypto/santiment repository
  • BTC_DEV_ACTIVITY is a data filename BTC_DEV_ACTIVITY.CSV

Now, using the request.seed() function from the built-in Pine Script™ language and the available data, you can build a chart.

//@version=5
indicator("BTC Dev Activity", format=format.volume)
//request.seed(source, repo_name, symbol, expression)
activity = request.seed("crypto", "santiment", "BTC_DEV_ACTIVITY", close)
plot(activity)

By adding Bitcoin developer activity data from the EOD source (SEED_CRYPTO_SANTIMENT:BTC_DEV_ACTIVITY) to the BTCUSD chart, you will receive information for technical analysis.
