Previously market protection has been deprecated by zerodha for the kite connect api back in 2018. Zerodha has again launched market protection on 25th march 2025 for the kite web ui. However, i have read the kite connect 3 api documentation and on the orders section "https://kite.trade/docs/connect/v3/orders/" there is market_protection feature in the code. Does this mean zerodha has reintroduced market protection for market and SL-M orders? Can i use it in my code?
It is not just about updating the documentation, the feature is not implemented in the code (the pykiteconnect library). To elaborate on the original post, there is reference to the variable "market_protection" in the API responses but that variable is not available when the using wants to place an order. We would want to know what are your plans with providing the feature via the kite API
Thanks for letting us know. Does the documentation not being updated mean that this is a tentative feature and the traders are not to be encouraged to use the feature yet?
Why the delay in updating the documentation and the libraries?
We are actively working on this, and it will be added to the documentation and other libraries in the next updates. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
