How to get trading symbol in the websocket data instead of instrument_token

Dileep

Hi,
In Kite web socket i am getting the data like "[{'tradable': True, 'mode': 'quote', 'instrument_token': 3906305, 'last_price': 4.2, 'last_quantity': 5, 'average_price': 4.18, 'volume': 94090500, 'buy_quantity': 0, 'sell_quantity': 768765, 'ohlc': {'open': 4.65, 'high': 4.7, 'low': 3.95, 'close': 4.55}, 'change': -7.6923076923076845}, "

In the above instead of "instrument_token" can i get trading symbol?

No, trading symbol field is not present in websocket response.

import requests
url = "https://api.kite.trade/instruments"
row = str(requests.get(url).content, 'utf-8').split("\r\n")
head = row[0].split(",")
data = [cell.split(",") for cell in row[1:-1]]
instrument_token = "738561" #reliance

# here tick contains market data from websocket connection
for i in data:
if tick["instrument_token"] == instrument_token :
print (i[head.index("tradingsymbol")])

However searching though ~ 60k rows on every tick is not very efficient, therefore i store the tradingsymbol in a list, before connecting to websocket.

Thanks @ridhi_karan ,
@rakeshr, @sujith by using websocket response can i get market depth in "Buy" side and "Sell" side? Previously there was 'depth.buy', 'depth.sell' columns was there. No is it removed?

hii @Dileep

Use full mode to get market depth
ws.set_mode(ws.MODE_FULL,subscribe)
