kitehistory is a wrapper around Kite Historical API

pip install kitehistory

--symbol Stock symbol of the instrument. --interval Time interval for the tick data. --from_date Start date indicating the start of records. --to_date End date indicating the end of records. --exchange Exchange Name. (MCX/NSE/BSE/NFO/CDS/BFO/MCXSX) --output Set flag to save data in csv format --plot Set flag to plot chart in html format --path Specify path to directory to store instruments master along with access token keys --verbose Enable verbose logging

First Time Setup

kitehistory depends on Kite API to fetch instruments master file in .csv. You need to create an appllication at https://developers.kite.trade/apps and export the following keys in your shell

export KITEAPIKEY='your-kite-api-key'
            export KITE_SECRET='your-kite-secret-key'
            export KITEREQUESTTOKEN='your-kite-request-token'

How it works ?

Kite API requires instrument-token to fetch the historical data. The idea behind this wrapper is to fetch the instruments master file and query it for the required symbol to fetch instrument token. Once the token is fetched, it uses Kite's API to get the historical data and saves the output in a .csv ready for analysis etc.
