Syncing with Zerodha server for historical data

Santosh
Hello,

does historic API guarantees that it updates historical data every 1minute?

How many "get" request is allowed per user per application per minute/hour?

Lets say a user is watching 10 different instruments simultaneously, each with 5 different settings. so there are 10*5 = 50 get request required.

Now If a chart is updated every second the number of requests amount to 50*60= 3000 request per minute. Its all rest calls and here I am not talking about websockets.

Is there any limit imposed by API?

Thanks,
santosh

    Hi @Santosh,
    Candle data is updated after the minute is complete.
    If you are providing charts on your platform then make a request when the screen is opened and you will have to keep updating the last candle using tick data.

    You can make a maximum of 3 requests per second.

    Thanks, that was helpful.

    is tick data available on kite connect API? I thought tick by tick data is not available and what is available is some random subset of data of 1 Minute candle.

    Hi @Santosh,
    You do get live market data on Kite Connect. Check out documentation here.

    Hi @sujith ,

    Thanks, we discussed it in a previous post. The current web socket data is not tick, I asked because I wanted to know if it has become available now.

    A true historical tick data is very useful for some specialized algorithms like ours.

    Hi @Santosh,
    We don't store tick data. You will have to do it on your end.
