Hi Shakir,
You can refer to the Kite Connect FAQs page linked here.
This page will help answer all of your questions related to getting programmatic access of data such as profile, funds information, order history, positions, live quotes, etc. on Zerodha.
Also, based on an existing reply over the Kite Connect forum, it seems as though data for historical/expired options contracts cannot be accessed currently. You may refer to the reply posted on the thread here.
However, you can get quotes for various contracts on a real-time basis. You can refer to this example.
Lastly, if you wish to explore and learn more about using the Kite Connect Python API, you can check the documentation page.
And you may also get in touch with Zerodha support if you face any difficulty with the same.
I hope this helps!
The strategy is written for Live Trading on IBridgePy. All functions on IBridgePy can be used to trade with kiteconnect? I am clueless. If One sample strategy implementation be shown then it will be easy to comprehend.
Hi Shakir,
It is possible that IBridgePy and Kite Connect may have some similarities when it comes to the overall code structure and certain logical aspect.
However, most APIs are designed to be unique, and they will each have their own set of functions that you can experiment with.
If you want to implement the IBridgePy code over Kite Connect, you will have make an attempt in going through Kite Connect's API documentation. This will help you understand the use of the API, and also ensure that you become familiar with the use of its various functions, etc.
Once you get comfortable with the use of the API, you will find it easy to replicate the strategy logic based on the functions you just learnt.
As mentioned earlier, you can start off by referring to these resources - Kite Connect documentation and FAQs Page.
And once again, if you face any challenges, you should reach out to Zerodha's support team as they will be the best ones to guide you about the use of their very own API.
I hope this was helpful. And I wish you all the best, Shakir!
