Getting quotes using instrument API

pranavwagh

Hello Experts,

I am trying to do:
kite.quote("NSE:NIFTY 50"), which works fine, but when I do kite.quote("NFO:NIFTY223317000PE") it fails. Can you tell me the right format? I tried NSE in place of NFO and then NFO-OPT, but nothing seems to work.

Thanks,
Pranav Wagh

Your query was already answered here about the naming convention of options. Read the thread i shared properly:

Thanks Srijan.. I missed ensuring that date is 2 digits. Thanks for your guidance and time. Now it's working.

trading symbol is wrong - Use NIFTY22MAR17000PE. You can find trading symbol either from Instrument list or open chart of particular ticker and will find instrument symbol in address bar. e.g. https://kite.zerodha.com/chart/web/tvc/NFO-OPT/NIFTY22MAR17000PE/13161218
