Limited Intraday Historical Data from dhanhq API

APIs, Automation, Algos & Code

Hi @Dhan @Hardik ,
I am using Dhanhq from last few months and I realized that intraday historical data is available for very less number of days. Because of this when we try to calculate indicators like EMA 50 or EMA 100 it does not provide any value.

Can you please increase number of data points for intraday historical data api so that we can calculate EMA 50, 100 and 200 values easily while using hourly or 4 hourly timeframe.

Thanks!

Hello @Siddhesh_Amrute

Glad to know that you are using DhanHQ APIs. We understand this problem and this is why an update is coming on DhanHQ APIs really soon. Just wait for the next release and this will be solved for.

Thank you so much for quick response.
Looking forward for next version of DhanHQ.

Also, try to provide functions/methods which can directly provide data for higher time frames like Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, 6 monthly, Yearly and so on.

This will help us to build strategies using multi timeframe data.

Thanks!

Hi @Dhan @Hardik @Tradehull_Imran
I was trying to build some Algo strategy using hourly time frame data.
However, I am getting only 2 days of data using below code. Due to limited data I am getting all my indicators NaN values. How can I resolve this issue.

Is DhanHQ only supporting data for 1-5 min chart because if we go into higher time frames then data is not sufficient to calculate most of the indicators and which means you can not build any strategy.

Can you assist me on this issue? When Dhan is planning to increase number of data points for 15 mins or 60 mins timeframes?

tsl_data.get_historical_data(tradingsymbol=scrip, exchange=exchange,
                                                     timeframe="60")

@Tradehull_Imran,

I observed that this issue with Tradehull library.

Dhan is providing Intraday historical data for last 5 years. However, you can pull 90 days of data at a time.

from dhanhq import dhanhq
import pandas as pd
client_code = ""
token_id = ""
dhan = dhanhq(client_code, token_id)

index_data = pd.DataFrame(dhan.intraday_minute_data(security_id=13, exchange_segment="IDX_I", instrument_type="INDEX", from_date="2025-01-01", to_date="2025-03-31")["data"])
index_data['timestamp'] = index_data['timestamp'].apply(lambda x: dhan.convert_to_date_time(x))

print(index_data)

Can you please assist me what changes needs to be done in “Dhan_Tradehull.py”.
I believe we need to update some logic in start_date and end_date for intraday historical data calculation. But not sure how it can be fixed.

Thanks!
