trying to fetch historical data

I am trying to fetch historical data for a symbol. I followed the example on python client and i can get the redirect url using the following snippet. I followed the redirect url but do not get the request token on browser. What am i missing here?

import logging
from kiteconnect import KiteConnect
import requests

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

kite = KiteConnect(api_key="xxxx")

login = kite.login_url()
response = requests.get(login)
redirect_url = response.history[1].headers['Location']

# redirect url is https://kite.zerodha.com/connect/login?api_key=xxxx&sess_id=yyyy'

Is login throwing any error?
Are you using the same user id to login as mentioned in the kite connect app developer account for the app?
You can go through the documentation here.

You will need a Zerodha client id.
