    There are defined limits on the number of instruments you can pass to the REST quote endpoints:
    - Full market quotes (/quote): Supports up to 500 instruments per request.
    - OHLC quotes (/quote/ohlc): Supports up to 1000 instruments per request.
    - LTP quotes (/quote/ltp): Supports up to 1000 instruments per request.

    For live ticks, you should use WebSocket market quotes. You can subscribe to up to 3000 instruments on a single WebSocket connection and receive live quotes. A single API key allows up to 3 WebSocket connections.

    Please refer to the API documentation here for more details.

    Thanks for your response. Any idea why below exception would be thrown.

    This could be because of the non-JSON response from the server, like when a Cloudflare error is thrown.
    You can catch the exception and retry.

    You may add delays between API calls to respect rate limits (Kite's quote API allows 1 request/second)

    Thank you. I was passing more than 500 instruments to the getQuote API, after I reduced to less than 500, this exception disappeared.
