Hi @Siddharthak,

You cannot get instrument tokens from websocket. You can only stream tick data from websockets.
Checkout docs about how to get instruments https://kite.trade//docs/connect/v1/#market-and-instruments

i think u missed the point completely , i was asking about how can i get the instrument token for a specific equity like Tata Power on NSE.

You need get all instruments of "NSE" and find token from it.
List nseInstruments = kiteconnect.getInstruments("NSE");

If you are using javakiteconnect checkout example here https://github.com/rainmattertech/javakiteconnect/blob/master/sample/src/Examples.java
