You can access intraday historical data for active options contracts; however, historical data is not available for expired option contracts.

For futures, day-level historical data can be retrieved using the continuous data feature.

For more details, please refer to the historical data documentation and the historical data FAQs.

This is a common limitation with Kite.

You don’t get tick-level history, and even minute data has gaps when you try to scale backtesting properly.

Most people end up doing one of these:

use third-party vendors for tick data
or downgrade models to minute-level assumptions

But honestly the bigger issue isn’t just data availability, it’s what you do after that.

Even with data, you still need to handle:

probability of setups
drawdown behaviour
sector context

otherwise backtests look great but don’t hold in live markets.

That’s where I feel most retail setups break.

I have resolved the issue. I also have an account with ICICI Direct, which provides API access, but I faced some issues while trading through it. Therefore, I used ICICI Direct to retrieve historical data and will continue accumulating current data going forward from Zerodha. All my trading activities will be carried out using the Zerodha API only.
