NetworkException: Too many requests

UE6253

I am using kite.quote() api for appx 50 stocks in a loop and it worked for few times while testing the code but now started giving NetworkException: Too many requests error. I am sleeping for 2 sec for each quote request which is more than 1s limit set by zerodha I believe.
Ideally i would want to use WebSocket api but that wasnt working and issue is open for that as well. Any suggestions ???

We ran quote call for more than 100 stocks in loop with delay of 1 second, didn't faced any time-out.Please recheck your code, make sure you are not running other rate limit API request in parallel.

It is not working for me. Here is exception I get after 4-5 quotes. I am also attaching code here..

I ran above code in my env , with stock_names param as list of all Nifty 50 stocks, it ran without any error.Rate limit error can only come, in case quote var is empty and loop doesn't go inside if quote .So, better you can insert time delay just after quote call instead of at end of quote loop,

quote = self.kite.quote(fullid)
t.sleep(2)

Also , print your stock_names param and check, it should be in format ['NSE:SBIN', 'BSE:XYZ']

That was a good catch Rakesh. sleep needed to be outside if loop since some of the quotes were coming empty. Thanks man..
