    @sujith why am receiving all values as zero.
    Posting source as well:

    instrument_dump = kite.instruments("NSE")
    instrument_df = pd.DataFrame(instrument_dump)
    instrument_df.to_csv("NSE_Instruments_01_09_2021.csv")

    Attached SS of the CVS file. Please help.

    INDICES can't be traded, so all those irreverent fields are null.

    The full Instrument list is used for instrument info like instrument_token, trading symbol, etc but not for live market data, so market data like last price, won't be able on full instrument list.
    For all live market data, you will have to use Quote or Websocket streaming.
