Dear Support,

Where can i get the trading symbol of Banknifty and Nifty weekly options?
for example I need to know the symbol for BANKNIFTY JAN 6 35500, Where do I find it or is it something system need to build it dynamically? if so, is there a specification that i can read

Please clarify. Thanks
******* Wishing us all a bright 2022 ! ******

You have to fetch instruments dump.
Like kite.instruments().If you want instruments for specific exchange you can specify like kite.instruments('NFO').

You can read here:
https://kite.trade/docs/connect/v3/market-quotes/#instruments

To save it directly in your system you can go to
https://api.kite.trade/instruments. Here,to fetch instruments for specific exchange,add suffix to the link like https://api.kite.trade/instruments/NFO

Thank you, it helped. that file from the link was very exhaustive but then i would still need to construct the symbol by the method described by you.

@sunderskite You don't need to read the whole file manually. It's impossible : . You can use csv module to extract required data from it. It hardly takes 2-3 seconds.

Keep in mind, oct, nov and dec use O, N and D as month. not 10, 11, 12
