Kiteconnect NodeJS Websocket

ananth1994

I'm using official kiteconnect nodejs package to get live market feeds, I'm facing two problems

1) It's reconnecting atleast 100 - 200 times from 09:15 AM to 03:20 PM. Which leads to resubscribe to list of instruments 100 - 200 times. Is there a way to keep the connection alive?

2) After 03:20 PM I don't want to keep this connection alive, Which is keep creating above issue even after market close, So is there a method to disconnect/close the connection?

Hi @ananth1994,
Can you paste the complete stack trace?
Try running in debug mode to get the complete stack trace.

You need to call unsubscribe and then disconnect method.

Hi @sujith

1) I'll post the stack trace of kt.on("reconnect",{}) soon.

2) I did unsubscribe and then disconnect but still it's getting auto reconnect and calling subscribe again & again.

const KiteTicker = require("kiteconnect").KiteTicker;
let kt = new KiteTicker({
    api_key: '<<api_key>>',
    access_token: '<<access_token>>'
});

function onTicks(ticks) {
    console.log("ticks");
}

function subscribe() {
    console.log("subscribe");
    kt.subscribe([341249]);
    kt.setMode(kt.modeFull, [341249]);
}

kt.connect();
kt.on("ticks", onTicks);
kt.on("connect", subscribe);

setTimeout(()=>{
    console.log("disconnect");
    kt.unsubscribe([341249]);
    kt.disconnect();
},5000);

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Result:
>> subscribe
>> ticks
>> disconnect
>> subscribe
>> ticks

1. Getting disconnected could be reliability issue with your network and if you enabled auto connect then it will try to resubscribe after getting connected.
2. You can disable `autoReconnect` before disconnecting after 3.30. In next release we will add utility method to do this.

kt.autoReconnect(false, 20, 5);
kt.disconnect();
