Data Difference between Quote API data and Kite Ticker

The marketdepth data differs between API response and Kite marketwatch.
This happens for most of the NFO symbols especially - 3rd month ( Dec series right now)
Eg. IGL DEC FUT in Kite marketwatch shows NO market depth i.e. no bids or offers whereas when the depth is fetched through API, it shows one bid.

Why there is a difference ?
Which one is right ?
Is the data coming from the same source ?
What would happen if I execute, as I see one bid through API ?

    Hi @Manjunathan,
    Both sources are different. Kite Ticker might not have received the tick wherein depth was updated.
    You can go ahead and place the order, if it matches then it will be executed.

    Hi @sujith ,

    Thanks. I checked the thread, I agree that charts differs in various sources w.r.t seconds or few mins when high volumes are traded.

    But in this case, like IGL DEC FUT where hardly any trade happens, the data difference persists for hours or even days.

    Lets me try executing the order tomorrow when market opens and update the results.
