1) Kite Candle API meant for backtesting but data is not present even for 1 year for many liquid stocks like Kaveri Seeds, Granules and many more

Should I provide you list of stocks and can I expect minute data for atleast 2 years as backtest on 6 month data does not make any sense ?

2) Seems like Zerodha has changed MIS margin but its not reflected in API...Please check

    We only have day's data for 5 years. We have minute data for 6 months only because we started from that date. We have plans of repopulating data but can't guarantee any timeline for the same.

    We will look into this.

    Sometimes back I was able to download data for > 100 stocks(very liquid) from kite(from 1st Jan 2015). I have that data stored on my disk.
    So for some stocks u have data for 1st Jan 2015. Please check with your data team. My request was to have data atleast from 1st Jan 2015 so that starting date will be consistent across all instruments

    Also " We have plans of repopulating data but can't guarantee any timeline for the same" ... Will request you to do with high priority as data is important part

    @sameer,
    It will be done.

    Margins API is fixed now.
