Hi,
Is it possible to get NIFTY 50 Historical 1 day data using API’s.
I did get some data back but it stops at
19655.4 19678.25 19423.55 19526.55 290666798 02/08/2023
and doesnt go any further than that, even though if I hard code the date all returned is No Data.
Hello @Nirmal_Soni
Welcome to MadeForTrade community!
Can you tell me which API are you polling for this? And also the request JSON that you sent on this API?
symbol = ‘NIFTY’
exchange_segment = ‘NSE_EQ’
instrument_type = ‘INDEX’
expiry_code = 0
from_date = (datetime.now() - timedelta(days=30)).strftime(‘%Y-%m-%d’)
to_date = (datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)).strftime(‘%Y-%m-%d’)
historical_data = dhan.historical_daily_data(
symbol=symbol,
exchange_segment=exchange_segment,
instrument_type=instrument_type,
expiry_code=expiry_code,
from_date=from_date,
to_date=to_date
)
When you get a chance are you able to please help.
Hi @Hardik
Please have a look at this. I can get historical data on Equities, but the same code with appropriate changes cannot retrieve Indices Data.
def get_historical_data(security_id,exchange_segment,instrument,access_token):
chart_url = "https://api.dhan.co/v2/charts/historical"
my_headers = {
'Content-Type':'application/json',
'access-token':access_token,
'Accept':'application/json'
}
data = {
"securityId": security_id,
"exchangeSegment": exchange_segment,
'expiryCode': 0,
"instrument": instrument,
"fromDate": "2024-09-17" ,
"toDate": "2024-09-18"
}
response = requests.post(url = chart_url, headers = my_headers, json = data)
if response.status_code != 200:
print("Error : Check the Output")
return response.json()
# ITC
security_id = '1660'
exchange_segment = 'NSE_EQ'
instrument = 'EQUITY'
get_historical_data(security_id,exchange_segment,instrument,access_token)
# NIFTY 50
security_id = '13'
exchange_segment = 'IDX_I'
instrument = 'INDEX'
get_historical_data(security_id,exchange_segment,instrument,access_token)
The Output is as Follows.
Please have a look into it.
Note : I have tried using the sandbox for the same and same thing Happened. The data was not retrieved even there for Indices.
I tried with this code and it worked, may be it can be of your any help, once try
BN=dhan.historical_daily_data(
symbol='BANKNIFTY',
exchange_segment='IDX_I',
instrument_type='INDEX',
expiry_code=0,
from_date='2024-09-01',
to_date='2024-09-18'
)
data= pd.DataFrame(BN['data'])
data['start_Time'] = data['start_Time'].astype(int)
data['start_Time'] = data['start_Time'].apply(dhan.convert_to_date_time)
data
Same issue
Hello @Mitaanshu_Agarwal
@Sai_Chandra just suggested the parameters to be passed. Are you still facing the same issue?
@Hardik yes, please see the post Not getting historical data for index through v1 or v2 (works for equity)
@Sai_Chandra can you please look what’s wrong in this one > Not getting historical data for index through v1 or v2 (works for equity)
Hello @Mitaanshu_Agarwal ,
Am not that keen into V2. 
, However please try to run the below code, you should be able to get , the index historical data.
from dhanhq import dhanhq
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
client_id =
access_token =
dhan = dhanhq(client_id,access_token)
BN=dhan.historical_daily_data(
symbol='BANKNIFTY',
exchange_segment='IDX_I',
instrument_type='INDEX',
expiry_code=0,
from_date='2024-09-01',
to_date='2024-09-18'
)
# This is optional , just to convert time stamps properly
data= pd.DataFrame(BN['data'])
data['start_Time'] = data['start_Time'].astype(int)
data['start_Time'] = data['start_Time'].apply(dhan.convert_to_date_time)
data
You can replace BANKNIFTY with any of the index that you might want to.
