Do i need to pass quantity everytime ? if i don't remember the quantity ,there is any way or how it will take default quantity(lot size) .

chetan16

Is there is any function from kite that will provide live data or opening or closing prise of all stocks

sujith

Yes, you need to pass the quantity every time. Kite Connect doesn't provide default quantity.

You can check out documenation for information about live market data.
