Error in fetching NFO instruments

nkotwar
nkotwar in Python client
import pandas as pd
...
kiteObj = KiteConnect(api_key=api_key)
...
df = pd.DataFrame(kiteObj.instruments("NFO"))
...
This works as expected, but i was overlooking server logs one time, and found this error, can you explain what could've caused this error? @sujith

    Are you fetching instruments file multiple times without delay??

    Instruments dump is a very large file. The instruments api shouldn't be polled continuously.
    It only updates once in the morning every trading day.
    So ,you can just fetch it once/day and store in your database for that trading day.

    I only fetch instruments file once during login time each day.
    But this error came when i was debugging something locally, I did fetch this file multiple times during debugging, can that cause 502?
