Historical minute candle data returns empty array

kkssc

Given a instrument_token of Futures & Options (consider TCS) for given one 2 months date I am getting empty candle data.
Could anyone please help me out to figure out the issue? It works fine for other instruments.

Input: https://api.kite.trade/instruments/historical/${instrument_token}/minutes?from=2020-04-01+09:30:00&to=2020-05-31+10:30:00`
Output: {"status": "success", "data": { "candles":[]}}

For expired F&O contract historical data, you need to use continuous data, which is available only for interval="day".

Hi I tried changing it to day, and it still doesn't work. Could you please help me figure out what's the issue? I want to fetch entries of F&Os from 1st of May to 31st of May

For example I have considered following instrument token: 22686978 which is a valid one.

I am getting this error:

"status":"error","message":"contract not found

URL that I am using:

https://api.kite.trade/instruments/historical/${instrument_token}/day?from=2020-05-01%2009:15:00&to=2020-05-31%2009:20:00&oi=1

We weren't able to find any active instrument with an instrument token 22686978. You can retrieve the complete instrument list from here. Can you let us know the complete trading symbol/contract name you are looking for? eg: TCS20OCTFUT

TCS20SEP1900CE

TCS20SEP1900CE

It's an expired option contract. You won't be able to fetch historical data for expired option contracts. You can only fetch day candle historical data for Future contracts using continuous data.

Ok. Thanks
