Is there a limit on calling https://api.kite.trade/portfolio/positions for calculating pnl

amandeep179018

I'm using the following code to get the position information

# URL for portfolio positions endpoint
url = f'https://api.kite.trade/portfolio/positions?api_key={api_k}&access_token={access_token}'

try:
# Make the HTTP GET request
response = requests.get(url, headers={"X-Kite-Version": "3", "Authorization": f"token {api_k}:{access_token}"})

# Check if the request was successful (status code 200)
if response.status_code == 200:
# Parse the JSON response
positions_data = response.json()

# Access specific information from the response
#net_positions = positions_data.get("data", {}).get("net", []) #P dont need the pnl contribution of holdings
day_positions = positions_data.get("data", {}).get("day", [])

day_positions contains the information about positions in "list of dictionary" form.

Since I'm using this to calculate pnl and plan on doing it every couple of seconds, I wanted to know that wether making this kind of request every second can cause some sort of error when the code runs for entire day?

Also, is there a limit for such requests example: kite.order() and kite.positions() ?

Thanks

For end-points rate limit, go through the documentation here.

We don't recommend polling positions to calculate. This thread explains in detail.
