What will be syntax if we want to order Option (index, stocks ) contracts ? my understanding on equity syntax has been shared below, what need to be changed for option and future orders ?

kite.order_place(tradingsymbol="INFY",exchange="NSE",transaction_type="BUY",quantity=1,order_type="MARKET",product="CNC"

    Everything remains same except exchange and product. The exchange will be NFO and product will be NRML to take an overnight position and MIS to take an intraday position.

    PS: MARKET orders are not allowed for options.

    You need to use Kite Connect 3 APIs, the older version will be deprecated soon.

    The example for pykiteconnect 3.7.0 beta will be something like this, 
    place_order(variety='regular', exchange='NFO', tradingsymbol='NIFTY18FEBFUT',
    transaction_type='BUY', quantity='75', product='NRML', order_type='LIMIT', price='10366', validity='DAY',
    disclosed_quantity=None, trigger_price=None, squareoff=None, stoploss=None, trailing_stoploss=None, tag=None)

    Hi Sujith, For kiteconnect-3.6.2, what is the procedure to order Future and Options contracts?

    Hi @babansfolio,
    I would suggest don't waste time on old version because you seem to be starting now. Older versions will be deprecated soon. We will update readme to give proper instructions while upgrading to the new pykiteconnect.

    If you just want to know, how to place an order in old APIs, go through pykiteconnect's master branch documentation.
    Even though there is some syntax change in method invocation the params to be sent will remain same.
