Python client 3.0 is out with WebSocket class for live streams

@muke5hy We have released a patch for Python client - 3.1. Please check it out.

I am having problems with the SSL certificates when I try to use the websocket API. The openssl s_client shows "unable to get local issuer certificate". Am I missing some intermediate certificate files? I have disabled certificate verification for the time being, for my testing, but will need to fix this when I push my code to production. Any workarounds for this?

can I use WebSocket on my local machine or I have to purchase some web server, if yes can you guide me on this?

Hi @sunnypatel,
You can use Websocket on your local machine.
You can check out documentation https://kite.trade/docs/connect/v1/#streaming-websocket and example https://github.com/rainmattertech/pykiteconnect/blob/master/README.md

I am just starting with kite connect API's, so which version of python should I work with 2 or 3.
i.e pykiteconnect is implemented in python 2 or 3?

@sujith, thanks, I was using the public token from the previous API instead of the changed API.

On a side note, I get a notification that kite 2.0 will be phased out soon. But the login through my kite connect app, happens through kite 2.0 instead of 3.0. I am already using the kite3 branch. Do I need any additional configuration (I suppose the python client automatically sends a header containing kite 3.0 in the request)? Or will the app continue to authenticate using kite 2.0?

I was not getting the ticks in the event callbacks for the whole day, today. onconnect and close callbacks were working fine but not the onticks callback. Extremely dissatisfied, since we are losing out on time and also money. Please resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Anyone please guide me how can I code a strategy & use it to trade through Zerodha . I want to do it but I have no idea .

My program runs infinitely and I have to press Ctrl+C to stop. How do I exit the program gracefully after market hours? What happens to the websocket callbacks post market hours?

What is the call rate as per the new websocket ?

Hi Kailash,
I am facing an issue with python client installation(win7), i installed Anaconda and tried to install kiteconnect("pip install kiteconnect") but i am not successful for all the time when tried. its been throwing the same error(pls see the below error). i have been following all the documentation and this forum posts but not helpful. its frustrating me a lot.

Please help me out by providing detailed info if you can pls. why i am addressing is, it looks you are prompt in responding to the issues and providing the solutions for the people being an active member in this forum. Thanks

I have intalled Mirosfot Visual C++ 14.0 and build tools too....but no help.

now, i am not able to uninstall kiteconnect...when i tired 'pip uninstall kiteconnect'. the following is thrown,

(base) C:\Users\Administrator>pip uninstall kiteconnect
WARNING: Skipping kiteconnect as it is not installed.

@AutoTrade
Was asking about the error thrown post pip install kiteconnect --no-cache? Can you do this and post error traceback if any.

You seem to have python 3.7 and installed python 2.7 twisted library.

@sujith
i have tried to run the example code on my machine which has python 3.7 but getting errors.. kindly advise

ImportError: cannot import name 'kiteconnect' from 'kiteconnect' (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/kiteconnect-3.7.7-py3.7.egg/kiteconnect/__init__.py)

I am trying to get and save LTP in AWS with Python. But facing challenges while importing kiteconnect package ( https://kite.trade/forum/discussion/10788/import-kiteconnect-in-aws-lambda#latest ). as a result not able to use Websockets.

Any way i can implement Websockets without Python package and get LTP (like curl commands) or any other way (LTP API call may be final option but looking for best solution).

No,your access token is incorrect. The instruments dump can be fetched with just the api_key.

please help me quickely

most likely due to a circular import

You need to change file_name and it's shouldn't be the same name as the package i.e kiteconnect here.

ImportError: cannot import name 'KiteConnect' from partially initialized module 'kiteconnect' (most likely due to a circular import) (C:\Users\admin\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\venv\lib\site-packages\kiteconnect\__init__.py)

why is this error create. when i have installed kiteconnect inside my python then just import then it is given error

hi
" My program runs infinitely and I have to press Ctrl+C to stop. How do I exit the program gracefully after market hours? What happens to the WebSocket callbacks post-market hours? "

Hi, in kite websocket data, we have OI,OIdayhigh,OIdaylow. but can you include the field either OI dayopen or COI in %.

@sujith , how come we are getting dayHigh and dayLow OI but not dayOpen OI? if we are going by ticks, when zerodha is getting down, we are getting invalid data, atleast you can add either dayopenOI or previousdayclose OI
