Getting error while fetching historical data of futures contract

Hi,

I am not an expert in coding and hence I feel I am making some silly mistake somewhere. I am trying to pull Historical data of ACC June contract, my end goal is fetch to Futures data for all contracts for last 1 year in a loop.

The code which I have written is

token =24508418
to_date= datetime.now()
from_date = to_date - timedelta(days= 60)
interval = '5minute'
records = kite.historical_data(token,from_date,to_date,interval, continuous=1)
df= pd.DataFrame(records)
df['date']=df.date.dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
df.to_excel("ACC.xlsx")
print(df)

This is the error I keep on getting

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Users\Binoy\Desktop\Result Trading System\Historical_data.py", line 73, in
records = kite.historical_data(token,from_date,to_date,interval, continuous=1)
File "C:\Python 3.8.3\lib\site-packages\kiteconnect\connect.py", line 624, in historical_data
data = self._get("market.historical", {

return self._request(route, "GET", params)

kiteconnect.exceptions.DataException: Unknown Content-Type (text/html) with response: (b"

504 Gateway Time-out

\nThe server didn't respond in time.\n\n")

Now, if I am not using continuous = 1 in the code I am able to fetch the data for last 2 months, i.e May & June. Every time I use continuous or Oi in the query, it gives the above error. I have tried using 1 and true for continuous and oi, both doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

We only provide day candle data for expired future instruments.

Ok, thanks, any plans to introduce 5,15, hourly candle data for expired futures contracts.

We don't have any plans of offering intraday data for expired instruments. You can contact any exchange registered data vendors.
