using selenium to update watchlists and baskets

timmaa
hello,
I want to automatically update watchlists and create baskets based on it and i am planning to do it using selnium.
I was wondering if kite offers any inbuilt solutions for this and if not , is it legal to do it ?
thank you in advance.

    there seems no API support for watchlist
  • Nivas
    Currently, there is no official API support for managing watchlists via Kite Connect. The available APIs are primarily designed for order placement, market data access, and portfolio-related operations.

    Regarding the use of Selenium or similar tools:
    • Automating interactions with the Kite web interface is not part of the supported usage of the platform.
    • As per the API terms, accessing services should be done only through the documented APIs, and scraping or bypassing intended access methods may lead to restrictions.

    @Nivas using chrome extension should be fine right ? if selenium can lead to restriction
  • Nivas
    It’s not really about whether you use Selenium or a Chrome extension. What matters is how you’re interacting with the platform.

    If the approach involves scraping or bypassing intended access methods instead of using the officially supported APIs, it could be considered a violation of the terms.
