Delay in fetching Open data - previous close returned

Sashank_Chittipeddi

Hello,

I used the following code to get the open data and then do calculations on it.

r=requests.get('https://api.kite.trade/quote/ohlc?api_key=xxx8&access_token=xxx&i=NSE:ASIANPAINT')
data=r.json()
data=pd.DataFrame(data['data'])
#extract the opening price like below -
data['NSE:ASIANPAINT']['ohlc']['open']

ran the code immediately after market open - at 0915 a.m

However, during my review today, discovered that the above formula returned the close data as against open.

I want to know if I can run the above code at 0915. If not, what is the appropriate time to run it? a few seconds delay?

Thanks!

No, ohlc API should return open price of the day after market open.It can happen that both open and yesterday close price, can be same.Does this happened for multiple scrip?
