Index price using Kite python API

Abhishek Gupta · September 2017

Hi,

I am able to get the quote of BankNIFTY future using below function :-
quoteinfy = kite.quote(exch, tradingsym)

But let say if i want to get live price of BankNIFTY index (Instrument ID = 260105).
How can i do that?

Hi @Abhishek Gupta,

Try kite.quote('NSE','NIFTY BANK')

You can find the trading symbols of any instruments using instruments API.

Hi @Abhishek Gupta,
Kite Connect only recognizes instruments with tradingsymbol same as in instruments dump.

Hi @sujith , @ajinasokan ,

Tried kite.quote('NSE','NIFTY BANK')
but result doesnt look appropriate. Is that because of Saturday?
result:-
{u'change_percent': 0.0, u'last_price': 0, u'open': 0, u'change': 0.0, u'close': 2437080.0}

Hi @Abhishek Gupta,
May be it was because of mock trade data and cache were cleared. It seems to be working fine. Can you check now?

Howdy, Stranger!
