Delay in receiving the prices

milli · May 2020

Hi,

There seems to be a considerable delay in the prices shown on the website and the price (last_price) retrieved using the positions() function. I have noticed a delay of up to 12 to 14 seconds. What is the reason for this delay ? Is it something that I am doing in the code? Most of the times, the sell signal is lost / delayed and I am unable to sell at the highest price or purchase at the lowest price.

Please help. Would getting the quotes using KiteTicker have lesser delay ?

Thanks

One shouldn't poll positions for fetching the last price, you need to either use getQuote or Websockets API.

Hi,

I am using Python. Did you mean quote() ? I did not find any function getQuote.

Secondly, if I only wanted to check the LTP, then would the function ltp() not be a better option ?

Thanks

Yeah, you can ltp method, if you only want LTP.

Thanks. And, if I am correct it would be quote() and not getQuote() - correct?
