Exchange Token for Indexes "NIFTY 50" and "NIFTY BANK" is different in Zerodha

rekharani4610 · March 2022

I assume that exchange token is unique across brokers but i am facing issue with Two instruments

exchange token for Indexes in Zerodha (exchange: "NSE", segment: "INDICES") is not matching with other brokers, where as for all the other instruments that i worked on are coming as same.

NIFTY 50: 1001 (exchange token in Zerodha), 26000 (token id in other brokers like Angel, Fyers)
NIFTY BANK: 1016(exchange token in Zerodha), 26009 (token id in other brokers like Angel, Fyers)

Can please some one point out why this could be ? , Thanks in advance.

P.S: this is source of Zerodha exchange tokens i am referring to https://api.kite.trade/instruments

Indices don't have tokens at exchanges, they're strings, so brokers create their own tokens.

Strange, but these tokens are scraped from nseindia

Can you give us the source?

As mentioned in the NSE instruments mapping doc, scrip code means the instrument symbol (alpha or alphanumeric): https://nsearchives.nseindia.com/content/new_bhavcopy_format_readme.xlsx.
