Get 1-minute OHLCV Bid and Ask quotes data between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020, for the specified products; store gzipped Bid and Ask data in the e:\temp directory. This command also creates a tick data sub-directory for each downloaded product, allowing for later resampling to other time frames.
dukas.net fetch -s "2020-01-01 00:00:00" -e "2020-12-31 23:59:59" -p DEUIDXEUR,GBRIDXGBP,USA30IDXUSD,AUSIDXAUD,LIGHTCMDUSD -o "e:\temp" -q Both --major-scale Minute --minor-scale 1 --file-scale Day --header -g
The resample command reuses previously fetched tick data to create new time frame resolutions without accessing Dukascopy servers. The following example shows how to generate 10-minute OHLCV Bid and Ask bars. Other settings match the fetch example above.
dukas.net resample -s "2020-01-01 00:00:00" -e "2020-12-31 23:59:59" -p DEUIDXEUR,GBRIDXGBP,USA30IDXUSD,AUSIDXAUD,LIGHTCMDUSD -o "e:\temp" -q Both --major-scale Minute --minor-scale 10 --file-scale Day --header -g

Nuget package for requesting and converting Dukascopy tick data.
I'm aware of lacking proper documentation. However, using the NuGet is quite simple. The NuGet package expects settings passed from command line arguments above through the LoaderConfig.
Simply put, NuGet package requires config to be passed from calling process. the LoaderConfig class replicates all command line arguments.
