Missing Index Data

Data for 'NIFTY CONSUMPTION' index is missing in the historic API call.


>>> di[di.tradingsymbol=='NIFTY CONSUMPTION']
instrument_token exchange_token tradingsymbol name \
2 257545 1006 NIFTY CONSUMPTION NIFTY CONSUMPTION
3 257545 1006 NIFTY CONSUMPTION NIFTY CONSUMPTION

The strange part is the index is working fine in kite web.

We don't store historical data for few indices(which includes NIFTY CONSUMPTION). So, only live feeds can be seen. You can use kite ticker and store them at your end for future reference.

Any particular reason for this?

From outsider's perspective it would make more sense for the kite userbase that zerodha maintains the data than individuals do that for the sake of consistency, usability and maintainability.

Can we get historical data for indexes like NIFTY50 and NIFTY BANK using kite connect java library?

Yes, we have historical day candle data for NIFTY50 and NIFTY BANK since 2006-01-02 .

@rakeshshr Please confirm if historical data is available for 15 min candles for NIFTY50 and NIFTY BANK for 2-3 years.
I need 15 min candles for 2-3 years for NIFTY50 and NIFTY BANK via kite connect historical APIs
