Zerodha historical api doesnt work highly unstable rather doesnt work on weekends.

Historical data api doesn't work on weekends. I been noticing it consistently. I am not hitting your APIs heavy. I have a sleep of 4 seconds for every http request I make even then it fails. We do some development during weekends we need these APIs. Interactive broker charges less than your brokerage for historical data they do a good job. Atleast send us a notification stating how long your API won't be available. Why can't you guys give two different kinds of error messages - one for server being busy(which I seriously doubt) and the other invalid request parameters or no data found . So with this message we will be sure whats wrong. Combining everything under one message is lame.

    @avinashsringeri The historical data comes from a different source, hence the inconsistent error messages. Let me escalate this with them.

    I am paying to Zerodha and they have to fix. How you folks deal with third, fourth/fifth party is your business. I hope you understand the primary problem is "Historical API" is not functioning for last 3 days!!

    @avinashsringeri, this issue is now fixed. We had some issues with one of our services. We are investigating the same. Apologies for the inconvenience.
