Backtesting historical data

Hello,

I am building an algo platform for the Stocks and Future market.
Can I use smart API for historical data for backtesting purposes?
If yes,

Any charges for it ?
Any limitations in the API ?
Can I retrieve data of any symbol , of any timeframe and price base?

Apologies for the delayed response.
SmartAPI historical data can be consumed as per your business requirement. Kindly create an account with smartAPI to consume any API. It is free of charge and any symbol can be retrieved and we have rate limiting in place for all smartAPI. Please refer below document.
