Hi guys,
Do we have any way to get historical minute data instead of daily data api ?
If not, then can we have this feature request for dhan apis team ?
Hello @Pranav_Deshmukh
No, currently we do not have Historical 1 Min Data. But we will look into providing the same.
Can you confirm if you need this to backtest your strategies or build indicators for live trading?
Yes, basically for both reasons, back-testing we need such APIs. Also sometimes we need to refer to past weeks levels, where market has shown reversal, or on what level resistance or support is higher or lower.
Actually it would be better if we have a generic API/sdk for getting historical data and we can provide interval as a input. E.g. I want to get historical data for date 1 - date 5 with 1m/5m/30m/1h interval.
If we could get this API it would be great

Understood. We have been optimising DhanHQ APIs for execution first, but understand the importance of data as well.
Over here, my learning is backtest is something that a trader does for new strategies which is not a daily requirement. But for past week levels while algo is running, the data becomes important. Will look into it.

This is really beneficial and much needed feature !
Hello @Pranav_Deshmukh
Yes, it is in the works. It will be difficult to commit timeline here, but we are already working on this.

@Hardik I do understand your stand. But we need historical minute data to run our technical indicators. For example indicators like triple exponential moving averages settle only from the fourth day onwards. Right now it is being solved by storing the minute data on our end for each day. But it is difficult to run the algos on new instruments unless we have the necessary data on our end.
Also, we are paying for data… No?

Hello @neo2564
Yes, understood the use case. As I said, we are already working on it.
Hi @Hardik / Dhan team,
Its been 6 months now… any update on this feature ?
What is use of paid subscription if we dont get historical minute data ?
You are currently providing daily minute charts, you have data on your dhan servers.
Its not much difficult work technically. I am also a programmer, we are currently storing daily minute data every single day and use it accordingly. So we can do this in our algo, then why it is difficult for you ? Why can’t we filter minute data over days or months ?
Genuinely trying to understand what is the blocker here ?
Please provide update at earliest.
