Hi @Abhishek Gupta, We don't have minute level data for expired contracts, you can get day's data. You can call like this, kite.historical(12865538, "2017-04-01", "2017-09-08", "day",1)
Hi @Abhishek Gupta, It seems like pykiteconnect still doesn't support continuous charts feature. We will include it in next version. For now, a feasible solution would be to reimplement kite.historical() method at your end and add continuous = 1 as a new param to _get request. You can check out source code of historical method here.
