Placing orders in parallel in different threads - one or many instances of KiteConnect object?

malko84

Hi,
My plan is to place/modify multiple orders in parallel. Each order will be placed and managed by a different thread till the order is executed.
Questions:
Do I need to create a separate instance of KiteConnect object in each thread?
If not, do I need to use a lock to avoid simultaneous access of the KiteConnect object created in the main thread?

In my understanding you can create multiple objects of kite connect with same access key, only thing you need to be careful about is the api limits.

Thanks jits_1998. Does that mean I can create any number of KiteConnect instances without limitations? I am aware of the API order rate limits.

Yes, it's just an object that holds the key and uses it in every api call. However, there is a limit on how many websocket connection you can open, it is limited to 3 per key.

That's my understanding.

Yes, as @jits_1998 mentioned. You can spin up n-child instances but all requests should be within the rate limit.
