1. We will look into this, but Sierra Chart downloads data in 30 second units from Interactive Brokers so we do not think it is possible to request more than one day at a time.

To avoid "pacing violations" from Interactive Brokers there has to be a delay between requests and this delay is made larger when 1 year of data is being downloaded.

You can use the Sierra Chart Historical Data service for dramatically better performance. This will be hundreds of times faster. Refer to the instructions here:

2. This data is not available through their API.
