The instrument list is public information and hence the kite.instruments() will succeed even if you are not authenticated. But to get any other account information or place /modify orders authentication is needed.
Instead of using the kite.instrume…
Fair enough and I apologise. But I would like to point out one factor that many people miss.
That kite web is separate from kite API. And any feature available on one might not necessarily be available on the other.
Is this related to API or kite web/mobile interface? If its related to kite web, you would need to create a ticket with support.
And then yes maybe you can post a link to the ticket here and tag one of the devs/moderators to bring it to their atten…

It answers your question but you do not want to hear it.
Sensex is BSE Index/FNO. It clearly says that in BSE icebergs are available for equity only. F&O is not mentioned. So the answer is no for sensex.
Same for bankex (BFO-OPT)

No you cant do that. The order limits are set at the account level and not the app level.
so whether you create one app or ten, you can still make only 10 orders per second, 200 orders per minute and 3000 orders per day.
The other api calls like hi…
You will need to run three threads using the threading or multiprocessing modules.

@OptionQuant
Thanks for such a detailed reply! And, I forgot to mention that all timings in my query are as per 24 hour clock..so for instance by 12:15 am I meant 15 mins past midnight.
Some people refer to midnight as 12 as the clock shows 12. But…
Many of us here have entire algo setups with code running in the backend doing everything from getting ticks from websockets, computing candles, running strategies and trading/order placement. Some of us also have real time monitoring / reporting of…
I would suggest that you try connecting to websocket using backend command line code in the language of your choice - preferably python as its the easiest for anyone to pick up whether someone is adept at another programming language or absolutely n…
Disclaimer: Not part of zerodha team but a API user since 2016.

All I would say in response is if you are new to api based trading then spend some time to read the documentation and FAQ's carefully. Most of your queries would already be answered there.
Then when you start coding, look at sample code and first st…
How did you determine that the value for tradingsymbol should be MCX:CRUDEOIL24APR7100CE?

The kite web UI and the API are two separate things. Just because you see something on the web UI does not mean it will / should be available in the API.
The API is simple building blocks where you can build any functionality you want.

Just looked up Quantiply.
Quantiply does not seem to support zerodha either officially or unofficially.
Either way even if it was supported, you would need to contact them about any issues with their service.

No idea about that. I think you would need to have an official tie up with Zerodha. Some folks do it without a official tieup too but doing so violates multiple SEBI directives.

@nikhilds
That depends on how you generate your access token.
Many people try to automate or semiautomate the flow and in that automation they end up opening a new browser window for kite which logs out the previous session.

RTFM, go through the FAQ's and you will realise that there are ratelimits for api calls. You need to maintain the rate limit. The simplest way of achieving this is to have your code sleep for some time between subsequent requests.

Same here python client gives the ticks as a list of dictionaries instead of individual ticks like in golang. And I get an average of 100 ticks per minute or 37500 (+-0-10) ticks per day. And this has not changed in the last few days.
You have to write your own logic for this.
From 9:15 to 15:30 is 6.25 hours or 375 minutes
So at EOD after market close if you want last 1000 candles of 5 minute interval that would be 1000/375*5 = 13.3333 days worth of data.
So you would get data …
@zerodhaVyankatesh There are N number of ticks per second depending on the liquidity of the instruments. I don't know whats the average but I wouldn't be surprised if a very liquid instrument has hundreds of ticks per second at the exchange level.

@zerodhaVyankatesh The OHLC information will never match exactly as we get a subset of ticks from the exchange. As long as they are close, you shouldn't worry. Right now I don't do comparisons. But when I started out, I used to do so and they were a…

@trd1 Ok.
Have you tried getting the tickdata, generating candles from that data and then comparing how it fares.
Or candles from other sources like tradingview or kite web or Investar?
Absolutely no idea about the 3:05 candle. But then its the 'historical' data api. Its not supposed to be used for current day data and esp for any live trading.
Again as said earlier, I am not a member of the zerodha team. I am a long term user of t…

First of all - your systems should never run on local time. They should use NTP to sync their time to reliable NTP servers.

Its been absolutely stable at my end for last few days. And if there was an actual issue, there would be a lot more folks complaining on the forums. It's either to do with your code or your internet connection.
From my observations it can be anything from 30 seconds to a few minutes. Historical API is meant for backtesting. It's not meant for intraday or live trading though many users try to use it for that purpose.
From Zerodha's point of view, getting …

For those complaining about 504 errors, I assume you trying to make the kite.quote API call again and again multiple times in a continuous loop. Is that right?
@r95990 the only way to properly debug this is to print a tick as its received by on_ticks and then print the very same tick passed on to the feed_data method.
In order to format the output better, add the following lines to the beginning of your fi…

@r95990

You need to change the mode to full. In quote mode you will not get market depth.
in your on_connect method you would first subscribe to the instrument tokens and then set the mode to full as follows

when I open multiple bookmarked tabs at once, it logs me out of all the sessions on kite web
@pseudo Are these bookmarked tabs in the same browser and browser session? How many tabs are you opening?
If you read through the documentation and the pinned FAQ's you would have realised that this is by design.
The exchange mandates that each user needs to log in manually everyday that they are trading. So if a user is allowed to call https://kite.ze…

If its home broadband, its probably an issue with your broadband connection flaking.
mode': 'quote' Try setting the mode to full. I use the full mode and I get timestamp as well as last trade time. I havent tried but I think in quote mode timestamp is not sent. I remember reading about this on some other thread.
