Release Note: Free Historical Data Access for Indices, NSE, NFO, BSE, BFO, MCX, and CDS with SmartAPI!

admin

We're excited to announce an expansion of our historical data offerings through SmartAPI! We've broadened the scope of our data coverage to provide you with even more valuable insights. Now, in addition to existing NSE stocks and NFO (NSE Futures & Options), you can access historical data for a diverse range of symbols, including NSE indices, BSE indices, BSE stocks, BFO (BSE Futures & Options), CDS (Currency Derivatives Segment), and MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange) — all within the same API endpoints. The best part? It's all available for FREE!

How to Use:

Accessing this expanded historical data couldn't be simpler. You can continue to use the same API endpoints you're already familiar with to retrieve historical data for this extended range of symbols.

@admin said in Release Note: Free Historical Data Access for Indices, NSE, NFO, BSE, BFO, MCX, and CDS with SmartAPI!:

you can access historical data for a diverse range of symbols

Doesn't this mean you need to provide a token mapping for expired options, futures?

For eg. if I want 1-minute candle data on 2020-04-03 for NIFTY|8000|CALL can you please give me example?

@admin This release unforunately does not help in backtesting at all! If one does not know what token number my desired contract is!

Can you please propose a fix for this? Perhaps, referencing by a symbol like BANKNIFTY06DEC2344100CE as in FAQ would help.
