Alternate for polling Kite.Orders API

subha in Python client
My code needs to place new orders when a stop loss is hit for which I need to keep polling the Kite.Orders API to know the status of the order. Is there any other way to get this information instead of polling every second?

    You can use postbacks or order updates via websocket as an event to fetch latest orderbook and check status and filled quantity field.

    Thanks Sujith. Right now I am not using websocket programming. I am facing "ReactorNotRestartable" errors with websockets, so end up restarting kernel every time. Are we supposed to use web sockets?

    I would suggest using websockets API. You can refer to the FAQs to fix the reactor not restartable issue.
