Query Regarding Rate Limiting and KiteException in getQuote Method

Hi Team,

I’m using the Java Kite Connect SDK to call the getQuote method. This call is made within a loop—approximately two calls every 5 seconds per thread—with multiple threads running concurrently. In total, around 25 calls are being made every 5 seconds.

While it generally works well, I occasionally encounter a KiteException.
Could you please clarify the possible reasons for this?
Also, is there a specific rate limit for the getQuote API? If so, could you share the details?

Thank you.

You can check our API documentation on the rate limit. You may refer to the rate limits thread on FAQs.

Ok. Understood.
It's 1 request per second for quotes api.

But then what's the workaround? If someone wants to achive more frequent quotes.

Is websocket only solution?
