Getting error from candleData method of sample code

[softice]

Trying to run the sample code for HDFC as follows:

/** Historic Data */
public void getCandleData(SmartConnect smartConnect) throws SmartAPIException, IOException {

	JSONObject requestObejct = new JSONObject();
	requestObejct.put("exchange", "NSE");
	requestObejct.put("symboltoken", "1330");
	requestObejct.put("interval", "ONE_MINUTE");
	requestObejct.put("fromdate", "2021-04-06 09:45");
	requestObejct.put("todate", "2021-04-06 10:25");

	String response = smartConnect.candleData(requestObejct);
	System.out.println(response);
}

Getting following error:

No such host is known (apiconnect.angelbroking.comnull)

Here is the solution. The candleData method tries to fetch REST API end point from Routes by doing a lookup for "api.candle.data" key. But to my surprise the Routes doesn't have any entry for api.candle.data.

So I updated the Routes.java file with following line,
put("api.candle.data","/rest/secure/angelbroking/historical/
v1/getCandleData");

After this the example code worked. I don't think this code was ever tested before publishing it.

My Indian mentality of getting things for free lured me to use these APIs but now I understand why are they free. I am acting as their tester. Thinking of switching to Zerodha Kite Connect.

This is fixed now. But, the String response of this method is not really helpful to me.
How did you work around that?
