Is WebSocket faster than NodeJs KiteConnect?

pradeep007

I would like to know if time taken for order execution is smaller using a WebSocket than KiteConnect (NodeJs Client)?

Yes websocket will be faster but I don't think kite allows placement via websocket

pradeep007

I see. So WebSocket is only for streaming? @sujith

Yes, for ticks streaming. Go through the documentation here.

Yes, but intermediate/Edge caching is not feasible with WebSockets, unlike HTTP. So, using Node.js development services is better in this case.

If the orders are accepted via a bi-directional web socket then indeed it would be faster than an order accepted via https API. But Kite accepts orders over https API
