How to get instrument_token for derivative contracts ?

s.swaroop

I want to subscribe on certain futures and options contracts through websocket to get real time tick data. But how do I get the instrument token for it ? I did make a request to /instruments API but the response has only equity entries.

/instruments gives entire list of instruments
/instruments/:exchange gives list of instruments in the given exchange

You can check the documentation here.

I tries both the URLs but got only EQ types. I used exchange as NSE.
