indiatechpython

Hi Sujith - I'm new to Kiteconnect and want quick guidance on how to retrieve LTP and OHLC data for future instruments like - NIFTY20OCTFUT or BANKNIFTY20OCTFUT

For python client, you can refer to this documentation.

Hi Rakesh - not able to get any API for future only. like the query print(kite.ohlc('NSE:NIFTY20OCTFUT')) not giving me any data.

sujith

NSE futures and options will have NFO as the exchange in the Kite Connect universe.
NSE currency will be CDS and for commodity, MCX is the exchange

thanks Sujith , so now my pprint(kite.quote("NFO:NIFTY20OCTFUT")) statement works well... can i get last few days (5 days) similar data using API for FUTURE contract

sujith

You will need to use historical data API.
The Quote API just gives you snapshot of data at the moment of request.

thanks again, but from historical data API im not getting LTP plz refer code - pprint(kite.historical_data(13014274, date(2020,10,9), date(2020,10,12), "day"))

sujith

If you need only LTP then you will have to try it out during market hours only or try Quote API with MCX instruments.
