Few questions regarding WebSockets

charuvindatre

1) Is the subscription limit set to 200 or the maximum number of instruments received per tick set to 200?
2) What happens when I oversubscribe?

I hope I'm not asking too much but It'd be really helpful if you can include all this information in your documentation, I can't find any material on subscription limits here.

Hi @charuvindatre,
Yes subscription limit is set to 200.
Even if you subscribe for 200+ scrips, you will still get ticks only for first 200 scrips.

@sujith Oh okay. That means I'd have to introduce multiple connections. Any limit on number of concurrent connections?

@charuvindatre,
There is no rate limit on number of websocket connections as of now. But we will be imposing it soon.

will there be any performance difference in subscribing 100 tokens in one socket vs 10 s

@pranksterguru,
Performance difference will not be that evident. There will be overhead in receiving data, parsing and sending it back. So I would suggest you to go for multiple connections.
