Missing Historical Bar Data: TimeFrame.Minute

Alpaca Market Data
1

I’m using python 3.10. For example, this what I have for BTC/USD:

    # no keys required for crypto data
    client = CryptoHistoricalDataClient()
    # set end time if provided (default is current time)
    request_params = CryptoBarsRequest(
        symbol_or_symbols=['BTC/USD'],
        timeframe=TimeFrame.Minute,
        start=start
    )
    bars = client.get_crypto_bars(request_params)

And some output records are missing, like it starts missing a lot starting from certain point of time, for example:

What Am I missing? Do I use correct API to get the data?

PS: Does Alpaca have active discord server?

You should no longer experience this issue.

PS: Alpaca uses Slack.
