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.
Just talked to a Zerodha support for API subscriptions and she didn't know that historical is free now. Discovered it here. This is great. But just in case you don't know, ICICIDirect Breeze API is completely free to a customer. They make money only from the trades that are executed through the API. It makes sense to give it free to existing customers. Any chances of Zerodha making this API free move too? Please forward to your decision makers.
@sujith I want to ask more though May you please make tick by tick historical data available too ? As current historical data has no info what happened in 1 min, compare to tick by tick real time data which has info upto 3 ticks per seconds. I keep dumping the tick by tick data to my database and use it for back-testing but still found issue when I want to back-test some instruments for which I was not downloading ,e.g. stock option data which I need now. May you please provide the whole day dump for asked instruments in one go as a binary file, or may be some other approach? It will be very helpful. Thanks
@Matti I am unable to access the historic data, although you mentioned it is made free it says permission required. Note: My app is personal version not connect version
Hey. Personal doesn't come with data, real time or historical. This thread was created before Personal was announced. Free historical data is only available with Kite Connect.
@Shubham0406, are you trying to create a personal app or using the paid version of the Kite Connect API? You can check this when you are setting up the app.
Hi,
I'm trying to create a Connect App (option 1 in your screenshot). My requirement for now is to track historical OHLC data for all the stocks (plus additional measures like RSI, SMA, PE, ROCE, ROE, D/E if available but OHLC is a must). I thought historical data is now free but it's asking for 2000 credits/funds. Could you please assist how to proceed?
So I need to subcribe to Kite Connect and thats a Rs 2000 monthly subscription, with now free access to historical data? Just so I understand it clearly, it was 2000 over and above 2000 monthly kite subscription earlier?
FYI: I already have a trading account on Kite though
@Shubham0406, yes, earlier it was 2000 for base Kite Connect subscription and an add-on subscription fee of 2000 for historical data API. Now it is free with base Kite Connect subscription.

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.

That's a great news. Just wanted to confirm what the user is getting as free data, is the following free?
Equity intraday Data 1 min candle
Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty intraday Data 1 min
Do we are also getting
Call and put data for weekly and monthly expiry, 1 min
If we are not getting call put data, for expiry then in which plan it's available??
Thanks in advance:)
can someone please redirect me to the right team
I'm creating a new App under Kite connect but it still says 'Need 2000 credits'. How to proceed?
Thanks
