Intermittent delays on trades retrieval calls

ramatius
Hi,
The API call to get the trade details https://api.kite.trade/tradeshttps://api.kite.trade/trades sometimes takes quite a long time to return data. Typical delay is less than one second, but once in a while, say once in 10 minutes or so, it takes more than 3 seconds. The order retrieval API has no such delays.

It is not clear under what conditions this delay happens. May be an order just got executed?

Anyway, the expectation is that irrespective of the situation, the call should return the trade details immediately. Up to 2 seconds may be tolerable, but not more than that.

Pls look into it.

Regards,

    Minor delay to retrieve complete trade book can occur a few times if there are high number of trades in the order book.

    @rakeshr Thanks for looking into this. Instant response is crucial for options trading. A 3-second delay in retrieving the trades may result in increased slippages down the line in the algo.

    Max no. of trades are less than 200 in our case. Appreciate if you can make it 1 second or less. Perhaps you may want to use a faster disk and/or faster RAM.
