is there issue if I develop azure function app to call kite api?
and execute it on every 5 minutes to get LTP is it ok?

sujith

You can do that, there is no issue.

thanks for reply . so no need to call websocket streaming api right normal api will work after calling every 5 minutes?

sujith

If your frequency is 5 minutes then you can use the http Quote API or OHLC API or LTP API.

but how can i get recent 5 minute candle data using OHLC API? I mean my logic is on every 5 minutes my azure function will execute and get recent 5 minute candle OHLC and based on that I trade. pls guide

sujith

The OHLC API gives you the day's data and not 5 minutes candle data.
If you are looking for candle data then you need to build candles at your end using live market data provided on Websocket API. You can get started here.

but my function app will run after every 5 minutes is it necessary to make it continuously running to use websocket?

sujith

If you want to generate candles then you need to record every tick.
