print(kite.quote(['NSE:NIFTY'])) prints empty list . While this works for other symbols like INFY . How to get nifty and banknifty quote ?

rakeshr

print(kite.quote(['NSE:NIFTY']))

Are you looking to fetch quote data for NIFTY 50 indices?
Then, instead it should be 'NSE:NIFTY 50'.
You can fetch complete trading instrument list from here. Look for exchange and tradingsymbol field and use the same to fetch Quote data i.e exchange:tradingsymbol .

yeah that worked. But is there a way to give trading symbol here dynamically using a variable ? like below doesn't recognise CE_strike_symbol though that is a variable having actual symbol name

kite.ohlc['NFO:CE_strike_symbol']['last_price']

rakeshr

'NFO:CE_strike_symbol'

Here, CE_strike_symbol is recognized as string rather than variable. As, you have mentioned it inside string quote. Instead, you may try:
'NFO:{}'.format(CE_strike_symbol)
You can refer to this article to know more about python string formatting.
