Inconsistent data in historical data

shivaprashanth

I am trying to fetch 5 min candle data of Nifty and BankNifty options with OI. I have seen that OI in the last candle data doesn't get updated properly. I see this happening very frequently and its effecting my algo. Basically I am looking at a way to fetch OI of Nifty options every 5 mins. Which is the best way to do this ?
I didnt expect such a inconsistency in historical data API that too so freqently.

You need to use WebSocket streaming to fetch the current oi value.
Historical data API is only meant for backtesting historical data, not for live values. This thread explains more.
