How to know trading symbol from Kite website?

I checked that to get a trading symbol we need to fetch the instrument list daily (https://kite.trade/docs/connect/v3/market-quotes/#retrieving-the-full-instrument-list), which is a costly operation for my script. On Kite, I can check trading symbol of already placed orders by going to their info. But I could not figure out how to know symbol of instruments which I have not traded for the day. I select trading symbol manually and can update the same in my script (Google AppScript) manually. I do not wish to create string using instructions shared here: https://kite.trade/forum/discussion/5574/change-in-format-of-weekly-options-instruments

Is there any way of knowing trading symbol from Kite website itself?

    You don't need to fetch the instrument master for every look up. You can download once into your environment every day and use that as the source.

    Instead of finding symbol from the instrument master, is there any way of finding symbol name on Kite website itself?

    Trading symbol shows in Info section of traded instruments in the Orders page. But for never traded instruments, we cannot get into Info section. Another workaround I found is setting an alert on an instrument shows symbol in Alerts tab.

    None of the above approaches are clean enough for me.

    Is there any GUI feature in Kite to know symbol name of an instrument before being traded?

    We don't recommend scraping data from the Kite web. We suggest using the official free tier version of Kite Connect APIs.

    Thanks for your suggestion. Is it possible to get payment refund of newly created Connect app?
