Hi, I am able to download historical data for index. OHLC data is downloaded. However, volume data is 0(zero). How can i download volume data for Index using python.
Indices are not exchange-traded securities. As such, they do not have actual trade volume since the index itself cannot be directly bought or sold on the NSE. You may refer to this similar discussion for more details.
An index is a benchmark market indicator and not an exchange-traded security; hence, it does not have actual traded volume or open interest, as the index itself cannot be directly bought or sold on the NSE. You can check the similar discussion here.
