Historical API skipping one day in day timeframe

balajibetadur

I am trying to fetch data from x date to y date in day timeframe, but I am getting data from X + 1 day. below are the details.

kite.historical_data(tick['instrument_token'], month_start_timestamp.replace(hour = 8, minute = 0), now().date(), 'day')[0]
(418049,

datetime.datetime(2024, 4, 1, 8, 0),
datetime.datetime(2024, 5, 22, 11, 16, 28, 267521),
'day')

data is coming from 2nd apr.

You need to send a proper date object with IST(+0530) timezone and 09:15:00

Could you please share the sample code? because I am passing dates using datetime.now(), but still missing first day data.

You can check out the example here.
I think your system timezone is not IST. Either you can set it to IST or you need to set the timezone to IST after creating the date object.

cross verified the timezone, but I already have the IST time zone set on my device.

the issue was solved when I removed time from DateTime and passed just date, could you please explain why is this happening?

You can enable debug logs for pykiteconnect and check the request and response json logs.

It is because the day candles will have a time as 00:00:00 and any request for after that time is considered. Hence you are getting the next day candle.

I just got to know this from the team. It should have time for intraday candles but for day candles time is 00:00:00
