If you are polling, we suggest you to switch to Websockets API. This could be because CDN considering this as DDOS.

Was it only for a request? You can handle time-out exceptions with a re-try.

Hi @rakeshr and @sujith i am using WebSocket by subscribing instruments. My code is if through WebSocket if it(tick) did not find the symbol=="NIFTY BANK" then try the API call. And in the exception , i am again recalling (recursive function) the API call with 10 seconds delay. But still getting the 504 error frequently. Please suggest me to handle it.

You need use instruments token to subscribe for tick data. The instrument token is present in the instruments master that updates once a day in the morning.
You can check out documentation here.

Thanks @sujith for your response. I subscribed the token only i.e 260105 for understanding purpose i mentioned in the discussion as symbol=="NIFTY BANK" . Even though i am getting spot price through web socket some time data is missing then i am calling the API call.
