## Importing Historical Candle Data
Jesse requires historical candle data in its database before running backtests. This section covers importing data via the REST API.
### Prerequisites
1. Jesse containers must be running:
```bash
podman ps | grep jesse
# Expected: jesse, jesse-postgres, jesse-redis
```
2. Authentication token (from Jesse UI or environment):
```bash
# Get token by logging in
curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/auth/login \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"password": "YOUR_PASSWORD"}'
# Response: {"auth_token": "session-uuid-here"}
```
### Import Candles via REST API
**Endpoint**: `POST /candles/import`
**Required Parameters**:
| Parameter | Type | Description | Example |
|-----------|------|-------------|---------|
| `id` | string | UUID for tracking the import | `"550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"` |
| `exchange` | string | Exchange name (see supported list) | `"Binance"` |
| `symbol` | string | Trading pair with hyphen format | `"BTC-USDT"` |
| `start_date` | string | Start date for import | `"2023-01-01"` |
**Supported Exchanges**:
- `Binance`, `Binance Spot`, `Binance US Spot`
- `Binance Perpetual Futures`, `Binance Perpetual Futures Testnet`
- `Bybit Spot`, `Bybit USDT Perpetual`, `Bybit USDC Perpetual`
- `Bybit Spot Testnet`, `Bybit USDT Perpetual Testnet`
- `Bitfinex Spot`
- `Coinbase Spot`
- `Gate Spot`, `Gate USDT Perpetual`
- `Hyperliquid Perpetual`, `Hyperliquid Perpetual Testnet`
### Example: Import BTC-USDT Candles
```bash
# Using podman exec to call Jesse API from inside container
podman exec jesse curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/candles/import \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
-d '{
"id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"exchange": "Binance",
"symbol": "BTC-USDT",
"start_date": "2023-01-01"
}'
# Response: {"message": "Started importing candles..."}
```
### Example: Import ETH-USDT Candles
```bash
# From host machine via port 9000
curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/candles/import \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
-d '{
"id": "660e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001",
"exchange": "Binance",
"symbol": "ETH-USDT",
"start_date": "2023-01-01"
}'
```
### Example: Import Multiple Symbols (Script)
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# import_candles.sh
TOKEN="your-auth-token-here"
EXCHANGE="Binance"
SYMBOLS=("BTC-USDT" "ETH-USDT" "SOL-USDT" "DOGE-USDT")
START_DATE="2023-01-01"
for SYMBOL in "${SYMBOLS[@]}"; do
UUID=$(uuidgen)
echo "Importing $SYMBOL..."
curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/candles/import \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: $TOKEN" \
-d "{
\"id\": \"$UUID\",
\"exchange\": \"$EXCHANGE\",
\"symbol\": \"$SYMBOL\",
\"start_date\": \"$START_DATE\"
}"
echo ""
sleep 2
done
```
### Verify Data Import
**1. Check existing candles via API:**
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/candles/existing \
-H "Authorization: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN"
# Response: {"data": [{"exchange": "Binance", "symbol": "BTC-USDT",
# "start_date": "2023-01-01", "end_date": "2024-12-31"}]}
```
**2. Query database directly:**
```bash
podman exec jesse-postgres psql -U jesse_user -d jesse_db -c \
"SELECT exchange, symbol, timeframe, COUNT(*) as candles,
to_timestamp(MIN(timestamp)/1000)::date as first_date,
to_timestamp(MAX(timestamp)/1000)::date as last_date
FROM candle GROUP BY exchange, symbol, timeframe ORDER BY exchange, symbol;"
```
**3. Check import progress via API:**
```bash
# Get available symbols (verifies exchange connection)
curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/exchange/supported-symbols \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
-d '{"exchange": "Binance"}'
```
### Cancel Import Process
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/candles/cancel-import \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
-d '{"id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"}'
```
### Delete Candles
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/candles/delete \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN" \
-d '{"exchange": "Binance", "symbol": "BTC-USDT"}'
```
### Troubleshooting Candle Imports
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `"exchange is not supported"` | Wrong exchange name | Use exact name from supported list (case-sensitive) |
| `"symbol not found"` | Invalid symbol format | Use hyphen format: `BTC-USDT` not `BTCUSDT` |
| `"start_date must be before today"` | Future date specified | Use past date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format |
| `"Unauthorized"` | Missing/invalid token | Login via `/auth/login` to get fresh token |
| Import hangs/timeout | Network issues to exchange | Check internet connection, try again later |
| `"CandleNotFoundInExchange"` | Exchange API doesn't have data | Try a more recent start_date |
| Rate limit errors | Too many requests | Add delays between imports, use `sleep 5` |
**Common Issues:**
1. **Symbol format mismatch**:
```bash
# ❌ Wrong
"symbol": "BTCUSDT"
# ✅ Correct
"symbol": "BTC-USDT"
```
2. **Exchange name case sensitivity**:
```bash
# ❌ Wrong
"exchange": "binance"
# ✅ Correct
"exchange": "Binance"
```
3. **Invalid UUID format**:
```bash
# Use uuidgen or Python uuid module
UUID=$(uuidgen) # Linux
python -c "import uuid; print(uuid.uuid4())" # Python
```
4. **Database connection issues**:
```bash
# Verify postgres is accessible
podman exec jesse-postgres pg_isready -U jesse_user -d jesse_db
```
5. **Clear candle cache**:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:9000/candles/clear-cache \
-H "Authorization: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN"
```

## Using the MCP Server with Jesse
### Example: Using strategy_list
```bash
# Activate environment
source /home/bk/jesse-venv/bin/activate
cd /home/bk/source/jesse-mcp
# Call strategy_list tool
python -c "
import asyncio
from server import JesseMCPServer
async def test():
server = JesseMCPServer()
result = await server.call_tool('strategy_list', {})
print(result)
asyncio.run(test())
"
```
### Example: Using backtest
```bash
# Activate environment
source /home/bk/jesse-venv/bin/activate
cd /home/bk/source/jesse-mcp
# Create a simple strategy test
python -c "
import asyncio
from server import JesseMCPServer
async def test():
server = JesseMCPServer()
# Backtest a strategy
result = await server.call_tool('backtest', {
'strategy': 'RandomStrategy',
'symbol': 'BTC-USDT',
'timeframe': '1h',
'start_date': '2024-01-01',
'end_date': '2024-01-31',
