Get nearest Expiry for the index options

vishwas
vishwas in .Net API client
Hi Kite Team,
Is there any way to determine the next nearest expiry f or any of the index options. Currently we need to form the symbol name based on expiry day manually.
I was thinking if there is way to fetch nearest expiry.

Please guide.
Thank you

    Hi @rakeshr i read it through.
    But my question here is not to which day is which expiry. That's easy. M asking zerodha API to give us near by expiry of any index automatically rather we go and form a string by coding for date or day i.e,"BANKNIFTY24103"
    .
    We already see expiry and strikes in zerodha kite as we type in a strike, so we need that information via API. Thats what m asking for.
    Thanks

    @vishwas,
    You don't have to guess, you can fetch instruments master from the API and do all the operations on the app or frontend.

    If you know the dates, all you need is these three cli commands 
    curl "https://api.kite.trade/instruments" > instrumentlist.csv 
    cat instrumentlist.csv | grep NFO-OPT | grep -i "BANKNIFTY" | grep -vE "MIDCPNIFTY|FINNIFTY" |grep '2024-01-03'
    cat instrumentlist.csv | grep NFO-OPT | grep -i "NIFTY" | grep -vE "MIDCPNIFTY|FINNIFTY" |grep '2024-01-04'
    Replace the datestring YYYY-MM-DD with the desired date.

    Just to add on to same query, Is there a way to get Nifty 50 stocks (50 only) or Nifty 100, NIFTY BANK stocks? The stocks which are forming a specific Index? This will be of help.

    @vishwas This is not possible via the API.
    For this you have to generate your own maps based on data from nse website in the market data section
