How to Retrieve Level 1 (L1) Data from Zerodha WebSocket API.

Rohit2190

I am currently using Zerodha's WebSocket API in "full" mode to access market data. In response to my request, I received detailed Level 2 (L2) data, which includes information on the top 5 buy and sell orders in the market depth.

Here's an example of the request I'm making:

wss://ws.kite.trade?api_key=apiKey&access_token=access_token

Message : { "a": "mode", "v": ["full", [408065]] }



And here's an example of the response I receive:

{

"price": 1293.05,
"orders": 4
},
{
"quantity": 245,
"price": 1293.1,
"orders": 3
}
]
}
}
]





However, I am interested in receiving a simplified Level 1 (L1) data response, specifically only one record in the depth section. Can someone guide me on how to modify my API request to achieve this?
