History Data not fetching for today i.e 2023-08-18

Developer API
1

import requests
import json
import config as l
ip = input(“Enter the stock instrument key :”)
url = f"https://api-v2.upstox.com/historical-candle/NSE_EQ|{ip}/1minute/2023-08-18"

headers = {
‘accept’: ‘application/json’,
‘Api-Version’: ‘2.0’
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

if response.status_code == 200:
data = response.json()
# Save JSON response to a file
f2 = input(“What to name the .json file :”)
with open(f2, ‘w’) as json_file:
json.dump(data, json_file, indent=4)
print(f’JSON response saved to {f2}')
else:
print(f"Request failed with status code: {response.status_code}")

The above code os to fetch the candlestick data for 1min timeframe
I’m trying to run this on the evening of 2023-08-18 but the output doesn’t contain any data for 18th its giving the data from 17th

Is this some issue with the Upstox API or am I going wrong with the code ?

Hi @Niraj_Kamble,

You might want to use the intraday specific end-point to fetch data for today. Following should help you get today’s candles.

https://api-v2.upstox.com/historical-candle/intraday/{instrumentKey}/{interval}

Conversely, the historical-candle endpoint you’ve been employing will retrieve past data as required.

Hope this is helpful.

Let us know in case of issues.

Thanks

Is there any specific reason for not adding current day in historical data? as we need to call multiple APIs to get historical and intraday data together.

@Jagdish_j_ptl The Intraday API is frequently used to serve the latest data and has a smaller data size compared to historical data. It doesn’t make sense to send large historical (static) data every time alongside intraday data. You can cache the historical data once daily.
