How to get quote for an instrument

pannet1

I am trying to get quote for an instrument, INFY for example. How can I get it through

AA) Kite Object

$infy = $Kite->instruments("'exchange'=>'NSE','tradingsymbol'=>'INFY'");
echo $infy->last_price;

OR BB) file_get_contents

$response = file_get_contents("https://api.kite.trade/instruments?api_key=mykey&exchange=NSE&tradingsymbol=INFY";

print_r($reponse);

Kindly advise.

Hi @pannet1,
All API calls are authenticated using access token, you can check out documentation here.

hi sujith,

i already got the access token. can you correct the code above (any or both the codes).

NB:
i already got the list of Orders and Positions from the API through another part of my code. This is just FYI.

You can use quote method to fetch quotes. You can do something like

$infy = $Kite->quote("'exchange'=>'NSE','tradingsymbol'=>'INFY'");

Refer this - https://kite.trade/docs/phpkiteconnect/class-KiteConnect.html#_quote

@vivek,

Thanks.

I had a missing argument 2 error. However, your reply pointed me into the right direction. Here is the working code

$infy = $Kite->quote("NSE","INFY");

Thanks once again.
