Not able to place orders through api in stocks which are under surveillance

According to the kite api Forum announcement dated January 23, 2025, titled "Blocking of equity scrips falling under surveillance measures to place order through API from Friday 24th Jan, ," orders for ASM stocks are blocked via the `placeOrder` API due to NSE guidelines requiring client consent for surveillance stocks.

However, as an algo trader relying on automation, I would like to inquire if there are any existing or planned workarounds to enable trading of ASM stocks via SmartAPI without manual intervention. Specifically:
1. Is there a parameter or setting in the kite api that can programmatically acknowledge the consent requirement for ASM stocks, allowing automated order placement?
2. Are there plans to introduce such a feature in response to trader feedback, as discussed on the kite API Forum?
3. If trading ASM stocks via API is not currently possible, are there alternative solutions (e.g., specific account settings or hybrid workflows) to automate these trades while remaining compliant with NSE regulations?

I rely on kiteAPI for seamless automation and would greatly appreciate any guidance or updates on how to handle ASM stocks programmatically.

    It may take a few hours to a day or two to answer based on the availability of the concerned person or the team to provide the required information.

    Currently, there is no special API to provide consent to trade in the ASM category stocks.

    Unfortunately, Kite Connect doesn't support taking consent on the APIs. You will need to place orders for these instruments on Kite web or mobile app.
