Hi for live data will need data subscription. Is it possible to pass the user credentials via api?

Yes, you need to pass your own cookies. You can get them by authenticating through the API.

Can you try this code and tell me if it works? the update_mode column should say streaming if it recognizes the cookies.

import requests.cookies
session = requests.Session()
headers = {
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36',
    'Referer': 'https://www.tradingview.com'
}
data = {
    "username": '...',
    "password": '...',
    "remember": "on",
}
r = session.post('https://www.tradingview.com/accounts/signin/', headers=headers, data=data)

if 'error' in r.json():
    print(r.json())
print(session.cookies['sessionid'])

from tradingview_screener import Query
Query().select('update_mode').get_scanner_data(cookies={'sessionid': session.cookies['sessionid']})

Dont run this code too many times, otherwise it will start asking for captcha (which you can't solve through requests). And don't share your cookies online.

After you authenticate, save the cookies string that gets printed, and you can use it for 3 months.
(Dont try to generate the cookies every time you use the API!)
