Last Trade Time missing in KITE Api

wealthyfox
we are building the application for the multiple clients of zerodha as a publisher. We also have subscribed to the Kite API for the data but we could not find the following data from the kite.

1. Last trading time in streaming (web-socket)
2. Margin files for the NFO, BFO, MCX, CDS instruments daily via API/XLS.

Please let me know how to get those data from the kite API.

    Hi,
    1. Last trading time in streaming (web-socket)
    We will be adding this in further releases but we cannot guarantee timeline.
    2. Margin files for the NFO, BFO, MCX, CDS instruments daily via API/XLS.
    We will be providing API for fetching data for this today evening. If everything works fine ;) .

    Hey Sujith,

    Thank you for the quick response. Hope above info will also help you in exposing correct data to other publishers for better product.

    Best,

    Hey Sujith,

    Thank you for the links of the API, we are starting to integrate it.

    Now we are waiting for update on "Last trading time in streaming (web-socket)". Hope to see it soon.

    Hey Sujith,

    Trying to figure-out the calculation of margin for the instruments on commodity.

    For e.g:
    {"margin": 13.21, "co_lower": 1.0, "mis_multiplier": 0, "tradingsymbol": "ZINC", "co_upper": 1.9, "nrml_margin": 112714.0, "mis_margin": 56357.0}

    and on the website of zerodha following entries been shown:

    Instrument Lots LTP NRML MIS
    ZINC 5 MT 174.2 114188 57094

    With the LTP price of Rs. 174.20 can you help me figure-out how the normal margin comes to Rs. 114188 with 1/0 as multiplier and margin = 13.21%.

    without multiplier its impossible to calculate the NRML values on real-time data.
  • sujith
    Hi,
    We give margin only for current month and next month contract . We do not provide margin for far month contract because of illiquidity.

    If you are placing cover order for far month contract you need NRML+SL(20%) margin also. Hence CO requires more than NRML margin.

    For more information, please write to [email protected] they can explain you in a better way.
  • wealthyfox
    Hey,

    Here we are trying to evaluate the Normal Margin and span margin based on the LTP and margin (%) on real-time basis.. To do that we need the multiplier so we can derive to the real-time margin.

    Please let me know how it can be done.

    Thank you Sujith,

    Is it possible that you show these values in the margin APIs you have exposed ? That will make life easy in programming..

  • sujith
    Sure. We will add it.
  • kiran
    @sujith : is there a way to identify the banned contracts in the list provided.. from this link i could see https://zerodha.com/margin-calculator/Futures/ few contracts were banned, but the same were also present in the api link..
  • kiran
    @sujith: any update on this pls..
  • sujith
    @kiran,
    Yes you get margin data for banned scrips also. As of now, we don't have any API for giving out banned scrip list.
    You can check banned scrips here https://zerodha.com/margin-calculator/SPAN/
  • sujith
    We will give out API to fetch banned scrip list later.

    @sujith, I'm also waiting for last trade time as this makes easy for data bifurcation.
    I believe exchange runs on It but there may be a difference of few seconds between last trade time of my server and exchange/Zerodha.
    Again when there is no last trade time available, I have to make arrangements to chop data second wise and make candle of one minute which won't be perfect.

    How do I calculate the Margin required and Leverage for a particular share while placing BO order?

    I got the json from "https://api.kite.trade/margins/equity" in the below format:-

    {"margin": 0, "co_lower": 4.0, "mis_multiplier": 3.0, "tradingsymbol": "AARTIIND", "co_upper": 16.5, "nrml_margin": 0, "mis_margin": 33.0}

    AARTIIND share price : 794.25

    Please guide me. thanks

    Hi @pawandev,
    I am afraid we can't provide you that data, it is out of the scope. Maybe you can google and find it out.
