Not receiving ticks after the initial tick

blackCaesaris

Hey Team,

I am a bit new to using the Zerodha API, so this is more of a "guide me" doubt. I have created a WebSocket connection. It receives the first tick and then stops receiving any ticks. (No, there are no blocking tasks on the on_tick callback override).

Wanted to understand whether there are any effective ways that you guys use to determine if the WebSocket connection is indeed receiving traffic from the Zerodha server.

That will help me narrow down if the issue is from my end.

PS: Using websocat on the websocket url also shows blank data incoming.

Got a couple of ticks now with a 3-minute time difference. Is the Server side working properly?

Also, are kiteconnect sdk logs stored somewhere on our local?

Result of websocat. I see that only 1 byte of data is being received.

Ah, this is probably because it's a non-trading window. I was hoping the API would return dummy values, or some other exception showing the same. It would be great if the team could confirm.

This is a successful websocket connection ping.

No, currently we stream whatever exchange stream to us.
You can use this as a mock tick packet.

@rakeshr thanks for that

Also, what is the frequency that the ticks are generated? Is it every second?
