We will no longer charge an additional ₹2000 fee for historical data on Kite Connect. With effect from February 8, 2025, we've stopped charging for the historical data add-on on Kite Connect. All existing connect apps have been granted historical data permission and new apps will come with the subscription auto-enabled. We've also removed the UI option to subscribe to the historical add-on from the developer console.
Hi. Is is possible to get minute OHLC data in Excel?I want around 3 to 5 years data for MCX commodities ,Equity Index and Stocks. If yes then how to get it.I already have a trading account with Zerodha.
@RaviR, The add-on historical data subscription is free but you will still need the base Kite Connect subscription to fetch historical data. Kite Connect provides json data in the response, you can populate it at your end into excel. You can check out historical data API documentation here.
Its a great news. I was just looking at other broker for free historic data or with minimal cost. Thanks for making historic api free. Can you please show me where can I find documentation for C# historic API?
Thanks @sujith . What is the throttling limit of the historic API? Of course i understand that its not for fetching data per second. How frequent we can query to it for fresh data?
Hi. Sorry i am new to this kite connect. can you guide me a bit. is there a cost associated with downloading data? like once i buy this 2000rs subscription. i will receive some credits and does each download of historical data cost some credits or its totally free once i have the subscription. also can you tell me if options data is also available or not and if yes, can you tell me from how much back. thanks.
@yuvrajkhanna 1. Once you have the subscription to API, you can fetch historical data without additional cost. 2. You can get historical data for the active options contract. Go through the documentation here. PS: Historical data won't be available for the expired option contract.

Is it too much to ask for support of "continuous" series for Options as well? e.g. NIFTY22500CE (sans expiration date)
Kite Connect only provides day candle data for expired futures instruments.
thanks.
