Apologies for delayed response.
We hope you would like to get the data from Historical API(https://apiconnect.angelbroking.com/rest/secure/angelbroking/historical/v1/getCandleData).
Kindly share the symbol token, exchange details along with API request and response to help you further on this.

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks for the response! I figured out that symboltoken which I was passing on was wrong. And due to which no data was returned.

But as problem was overlooked, it took a lot of time to determine whether the problem was at my end or technical glitch at your end.

Probable modifications which I can think of:

Validate the data before further processing - and if something is wrong, return a graceful message to the calling user.
If there is a technical glitch, also inform users accordingly.

Clarity in the responses will save a lot of time for end users.
