Invalid token or interval for continuous data

Guhan

kite.historical_data(instrument_token=ins_token,
from_date=from_date,to_date=from_date,
interval=interval,continuous=True)

@sujith, getting 'Invalid token or interval for continuous data' error, am I doing anything wrong?
I am trying to get data for equites

sujith

Is this consistent issue? Can you let us know the params you are sending or enable debugging and paste the complete URL you are sending?
I think you are sending continuous value as 1.

interval='minute',continuous=True)

@sujith, I am regularly facing this issue, also today i am unable to get historical ohlc for above mentioned dates, also historical ohlc is not available for many shares in nifty500 range for year 2015

@Guhan,
You need to send continuous as false for equity data. You can check out documentation to know more information.
We have minute level data for only a couple of years. We don't have data prior to that.

Guhan

@sujith, couple of years means, from which year minute level data is available? I need to construct various time frame OHLC for back testing.

sujith

We have intraday data for instruments from FEB 2015. Can you list out a couple of instruments for which you don't see data? I will check with data team and update the status.

@sujith, it is a huge list, I am subscribing for nifty500 shares, data is not available for 289 shares from 01/04/2015 to 30/04/2015
