Hi Kailash,

Im unable to get historical data. I tried pulling data for TATAPOWER.
Can you help me out from this?
Note:I was able to pull the data on friday.I can get information like margins and has problem only in pulling historical data.

Hi @menaveenn , looking into this.

Kailash

I was able to get the response. Try passing the token as an int and not a string. Eg:
kite.historical(877057, "2016-02-03" , "2016-02-03", "minute")

Thank you Kailash,I think its good to have str to int conversion in the method as all other parameters we are passing as strings.

I have following questions.
1. What is the maximum date range for which we can fetch data ? e.g. on NSE website, we can fetch data only for 365 days, is there any restriction like that ?
2. lets assume I am fetching data @ 11 AM and I want to fetch data for the same day for intraday trading for the interval of 15 mins. Is it possible ? OR only current day -1 data is available ?
