Delay in "last_price" value in "GET /portfolio/positions"

mlearner

I am observing lag in "last_price" response attribute when using "GET /portfolio/positions" API.

The API returns stale value for last_price, gets updated after 4-5 minutes only.

Is this attribute not supposed to be LTP of the instrument(so should give recent tick value) for which a position is held as mentioned in the documentation: https://kite.trade/docs/connect/v3/portfolio/#positions?

Thanks.

It's not recommended to poll position APIs to fetch last_price, instead, you can use Websocket streaming/Quote APIs. You can go through this thread.
