I am using https://api.kite.trade/portfolio/holdings API to get latest price of all holdings. This API misses Volume field, making me call https://api.kite.trade/instruments/NSE/ API for each stock. Is it possible to add day's "volume" in the response?

Vivek

@RJ0958 Its not possible to send volume with holdings currently, If you have too many holdings and wanted realtime data then you try our websocket streaming api.

RJ0958

Thanks. Please consider having new API similar to "https://api.kite.trade/instruments" but for all holdings.

Vivek

@RJ0958 Sure we will take it in for consideration but its very unlikely that we will be able implement it anytime soon.

How many websocket connections can be made by a user? Will subscribing different scripts list to each connection improve the over all performance and reduce the latency?

Kailash

@RJ0958 You should use a single connection and multiple subscriptions on the same connection.

Multiple connections are allowed as of now, but this will soon be disabled.

@Kailash if we want to subscribe to say 300 instruments then we will need 2 connections right?

Kailash

@abhishek01 Yes, but we're in the process of increasing the max number of subscriptions allowed on a single connection to 500. This should happen in the coming couple days.
