Calculated RSI value not match with the value displaying in kite web app

Hi,

I have subscribed to historical data api and I am trying to calculate RSI value for list of stock at EOD.
I wrote the below piece of code to calculate RSI value.

def RSI(df, base, period , script_name,xls_row):
"""
Function to compute Relative Strength Index (RSI)

Args :
df : Pandas DataFrame which contains ['date', 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume'] columns
base : String indicating the column name from which the MACD needs to be computed from (Default Close)
period : Integer indicates the period of computation in terms of number of candles

Returns :
df : Pandas DataFrame with new columns added for
Relative Strength Index (RSI_$period)
"""

col_name = 'RSI_' + str(period)
delta = df[base].diff()
up, down = delta.copy(), delta.copy()

up[up < 0] = 0
down[down > 0] = 0

rUp = up.ewm(com=period - 1, adjust=False).mean()
rDown = down.ewm(com=period - 1, adjust=False).mean().abs()

df[col_name] = 100 - 100 / (1 + rUp / rDown)
df[col_name].fillna(0, inplace=True)

return df

I checked for few stocks and below is my observation:
For "ABBOTINDIA"
period: 14 , interval = "day" and RSI is calucalted on "close" price.
RSI from kite app = 39.72 on 18/11/2020 closing basis
RSI calculated from above formula = 28.29 on 18/11/2020.
Please let me know the formula which I am using above is correct for calculating RSI?

Thanks in advance.

This is the best method to calculate rsi
This method will give you RSI values which matches TRADINGVIEW RSI values.

def calc_RSI(series, period=14):
    delta = series.diff().dropna()
    ups = delta * 0
    downs = ups.copy()
    ups[delta > 0] = delta[delta > 0]
    downs[delta < 0] = -delta[delta < 0]
    ups[ups.index[period-1]] = np.mean( ups[:period] ) #first value is sum of avg gains
    ups = ups.drop(ups.index[:(period-1)])
    downs[downs.index[period-1]] = np.mean( downs[:period] ) #first value is sum of avg losses
    downs = downs.drop(downs.index[:(period-1)])
    rs = ups.ewm(com=period-1,min_periods=0,adjust=False,ignore_na=False).mean() / \
         downs.ewm(com=period-1,min_periods=0,adjust=False,ignore_na=False).mean() 
    return 100 - 100 / (1 + rs)


df['RSI'] = calc_RSI(df['close'])
print(df)
