python - Group DataFrame in 5-minute intervals

Question

How do I get just the 5 minute data using Python/pandas out of this csv? For every 5 minute interval I'm trying to get the DATE, TIME,OPEN, HIGH, LOW, CLOSE, VOLUME for that 5 minute interval.

DATE       TIME     OPEN    HIGH    LOW     CLOSE   VOLUME
02/03/1997 09:04:00 3046.00 3048.50 3046.00 3047.50 505          
02/03/1997 09:05:00 3047.00 3048.00 3046.00 3047.00 162          
02/03/1997 09:06:00 3047.50 3048.00 3047.00 3047.50 98           
02/03/1997 09:07:00 3047.50 3047.50 3047.00 3047.50 228          
02/03/1997 09:08:00 3048.00 3048.00 3047.50 3048.00 136          
02/03/1997 09:09:00 3048.00 3048.00 3046.50 3046.50 174          
02/03/1997 09:10:00 3046.50 3046.50 3045.00 3045.00 134          
02/03/1997 09:11:00 3045.50 3046.00 3044.00 3045.00 43           
02/03/1997 09:12:00 3045.00 3045.50 3045.00 3045.00 214          
02/03/1997 09:13:00 3045.50 3045.50 3045.50 3045.50 8

Answer 1

You can use df.resample to do aggregation based on a date/time variable. You'll need a datetime index and you can specify that while reading the csv file:

df = pd.read_csv("filename.csv", parse_dates = [["DATE", "TIME"]], index_col=0)

This will result in a dataframe with an index where date and time are combined (source):

df.head()
Out[7]: 
                       OPEN    HIGH     LOW   CLOSE  VOLUME 
DATE_TIME                                                   
1997-02-03 09:04:00  3046.0  3048.5  3046.0  3047.5      505
1997-02-03 09:05:00  3047.0  3048.0  3046.0  3047.0      162
1997-02-03 09:06:00  3047.5  3048.0  3047.0  3047.5       98
1997-02-03 09:07:00  3047.5  3047.5  3047.0  3047.5      228
1997-02-03 09:08:00  3048.0  3048.0  3047.5  3048.0      136

After that you can use resample to get the sum, mean, etc. of those five minute intervals.

df.resample("5T").mean()
Out[8]: 
                       OPEN    HIGH     LOW   CLOSE  VOLUME 
DATE_TIME                                                   
1997-02-03 09:00:00  3046.0  3048.5  3046.0  3047.5    505.0
1997-02-03 09:05:00  3047.6  3047.9  3046.8  3047.3    159.6
1997-02-03 09:10:00  3045.6  3045.9  3044.8  3045.0    110.2
1997-02-03 09:15:00  3043.6  3044.0  3042.8  3043.2     69.2
1997-02-03 09:20:00  3044.7  3045.2  3044.5  3045.0     65.8
1997-02-03 09:25:00  3043.8  3044.0  3043.5  3043.7     59.0
1997-02-03 09:30:00  3044.6  3045.0  3044.3  3044.6     56.0
1997-02-03 09:35:00  3044.5  3044.5  3043.5  3044.5     44.0

(T is used for minute frequency. Here is a list of other units.)
