Historical API Error – Access denied because of exceeding access rate


  • Hello SmartAPI Support Team,

    I am developing a Python application using Angel One SmartAPI to download historical NSE stock data.

    My login is successful, but my first getCandleData() request returns this error:

    Access denied because of exceeding access rate

    I waited approximately 36 minutes and tried again, but the same error occurred.

    I am using the official SmartAPI Python library and making only one historical-data request.

    Please check whether my API application or IP address has any access restrictions.

    Thank you.
