    @anilbhatt Yeah it's necessary to generate access_token to fetch through quotes api.

    @anilbhatt You can, but when the access_token expires, you have to login again. This is an exchange requirement.

    Okay. But i want to feed my database in every 5 min? That i will do with CURL. if i have to login everytime then it won't be possible for me to do it on unix based server. Is there any solution around in like Websocket in python?

    @anilbhatt You don't have to login every time, only when the access_token expires (We flush it at 8:15 AM every morning).

    You can use WebSockets to receive ticks every second and compute your own 5-min data point and insert to the DB.

    Do you mean that Access token will expire every day at 8:15 in the morning? If so, any other alternative to for long access token?

    Hi @jimit.ab,
    It is mandatory to login everyday as per exchange regulation. You have to manually login everyday.

    You can automate login using any headless browser. Example mechanize for python.
