Hi @om_prakash_soni ,
The below code seems to be right, but the timeframe 20 is not currently supported.

previous_hist_data = tsl.get_historical_data(‘ACC’,‘NSE’,20)

The timeframe for the data. It can be:

  • ‘1’ for 1-minute candles
  • ‘5’ for 5-minute candles
  • ‘15’ for 15-minute candles
  • ‘25’ for 25-minute candles
  • ‘60’ for 60-minute candles
  • ‘DAY’ for daily candles

tsl.get_intraday_data() function is deprecated.

Hi @om_prakash_soni ,

Refer the below code:

data = tsl.get_historical_data('ACC', 'NSE', '1')
