I wanted to check if historical tick-level data is available for Nifty 50 Futures on Kite Connect.
Specifically, I am looking for: • Tick data for the last 6 months to 1 year • Instrument: Nifty 50 Futures (current and previous contracts)
Could you please confirm: 1. Whether such historical tick data is available through any API or service? 2. If yes, what is the process to access or purchase this data?
My primary use case is to perform backtesting using tick-level data for strategy validation.
Historical tick-level data is not available via the API.
Currently, historical data is provided only for the active (current) contract, and is limited to minute-level intervals (1-minute and above). You may refer to the documentation here.
Additionally, the continuous futures API can be used to retrieve historical data for up to the past 6 months and beyond. This API provides day-level candle data by stitching together expired contracts of the same underlying instrument.
