Dear Developers, We announced the public Kite Connect API 3.0 beta four months ago and many of you have already switched your applications to the new APIs. Issues that cropped up have been rectified and several improvements and feedback points have been incorporated. For us to get rid of internal legacy dependencies on the older APIs and to upgrade the API ecosystem to a more efficient one, we have to phase out the older APIs completely.
So, on Sunday, 20th May 2018, Kite Connect 2.0 will be permanently replaced by 3.0. The current upstream versions of the official SDKs and libraries (Python, Java etc.) will be replaced by updated 3.0 versions on the same date.
If you haven't already, please migrate your applications to Kite Connect 3.0 as soon as possible. Please refer to the 3.0 migration thread to see what's changed.
What's new in 3.0?
New fields in the WebSocket streaming API: trade timestamp, tick timestamp, Open Interest, Open Interest day high and low Real-time order Postbacks and message updates over WebSockets Subscribe to up to 2000 instruments on a single WebSocket connection New /quote API that lets you fetch the complete market quote for up to 500 instruments in one go New /quote/ohlc and /quote/ltp APIs that let you fetch up to 1000 instruments in one go New order types - Bracket Order (SL), Cover Order (LIMIT) Once again, the deadline is Sunday, 20th May 2018.
It is just an alternative to Kite Ticker live market data. Some people just fetch live market data once in a minute or 5 minutes. The Quote API response is same as Kite Ticker's FULL_MODE.
@sujith Can you please help me with this. I am first time planning to implement automatic trading strategy. For my strategy, I need current day stock live data as well as previous day's OHLC data. My query is whether I can get both these data by paying Rs. 2000 per month only or I need to pay more than Rs. 2000. I could not find pricing related information for accessing previous day's data. All I could get was API pricing as Rs. 2000 per month. It does not mention what it includes.
sir kiteconnect 3.7 is not suitable for Mobile. I was comfortable with mobile. now all of a sudden I am forced to stop my trading through mobile using kiteconnect .
Please do something. Don't stop previous version from may 20. It's humble request.
Or at least extend deadline . Until we find some alternate solution.

We had announced that there will be a deadline for migration in this January and we had come up with the deadline almost 45 days before. All the users were informed almost five months prior and the first release of Kite Connect 3.0 as announced in somewhere around November 2017. I am afraid we can't extend the deadline.
Old APIs are shutdown. Which version of pykiteconnect are you using?
Which particular API are you referring to?
Is it historical data, margins, place order?
I was using kiteconnect 3.6.1 through mobile . When deadline for kite 3 was announced I tried to download kiteconnect 3.7.10 . Later I understood that kiteconnect 3.7 is not suitable for mobile due dependencies issue. I dropped the idea of downloading 3.7.
I continued working with 3.6 and I assumed that it may show error from may 21 onwards. But to my surprise until Friday ,25 May my python kiteconnect 3.6.1 works fine.
Now my question is whatever worked on 25 May 2018 will continue to work without any interruption due to migration or not ?
Old APIs are deprecated. Can you mention which API you are referring to? There are some APIs which are not changed entirely but a part of it might have changed. In future, if any updates are made on any of the APIs then it might stop working.
FULL_MODE is just a mode of subscription, you can subscribe for up to 2000 instruments.
The Quote API response is same as Kite Ticker's FULL_MODE.

You can use master branch. We have merged kite3 branch to master.
We may soon remove kite3 branch.
