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 KITE_API_KEY='your-kite-api-key'
export KITE_SECRET='your-kite-secret-key'
export KITE_REQUEST_TOKEN='your-kite-request-token'
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.
