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)
The error response you provided does not match the official Kite Connect format, which can be found in our documentation here.
It appears likely that either your codebase is intercepting the Kite Connect error and printing its own custom exception,…
I have tested placing async orders on my end and did not encounter any delays. Therefore, it appears this issue is not originating within the Kite Connect API.

Generally, a stray tick wouldn't be sent in the pre-market hours. However, Kite Ticker sends the last stored cached tick the first time when the user subscribes to a token. Post that a tick is sent only when there is a change in any of the values. Y…

@dinezh If you are using the Kite Connect paid version, you can use Websockets to get order updates. If you are using the Kite Connect free version, you have to use Postback/Webhook to get order updates.
@dinezh For individual developers, WebSocket is recommended, where orders placed for a particular user anywhere, for instance, web, mobile, or desktop platforms, are sent.
@ttsdev We’ve reviewed the postback update and noticed that the first modification is being received, but it’s reflecting the original order price rather than the modified price.
To get the latest details, you can use the postback message as a trig…
Kite Connect Login flow doesn't have any issues, and this error isn't related to the Kite Connect. Further, it is mandatory by the exchange that a user has to log in manually at least once a day. We don't recommend automating the Kite Connect login.
We've conducted tests by submitting multiple API requests across different time frames, and we haven't been able to replicate the delay you're seeing. Since Kite Connect is leveraged by a vast number of users and platforms, a server-side issue would…
1. There have been no known issues or maintenance activities in the past few days.
2. The KiteTicker library supports automatic reconnection when setTryReconnection(true) is enabled, so you don’t need to manually call connect() after every disconnec…

You can run the WebSocket either in the main thread or in a background (daemon) th…
This issue doesn’t seem to be related to the Kite Connect itself. It’s likely due to something in the local setup, so a bit of trial and error will help narrow it down.
You could try temporarily disabling any antivirus or security software (other …
When you request historical candle data via the API, it's important to understand how the from and to parameters work. The to parameter sets the end of the time range you're interested in, but it doesn't specifically refer to the closing time of any…
I attempted to fetch historical data via the API, and it appears to match the NSE bhavcopy accurately. I recommend reviewing your code logic to identify and address any issues.
There are two ways to pass tick data from on_tick thread to perform any operation without blocking the main on_ticks thread. You may refer to this discussion for more details.
You can subscribe to up to 3000 instruments in a WebSocket connection. The number of ticks that you receive depends on the subscription mode; refer to this discussion here for more details.
Also, this could happen if you are blocking the ticker(wh…
If you’ve retrieved today's candle data on the same day, the OHLC data will not match the bhavcopy. This is because the OHLC updates through the bhavcopy occur at midnight. Therefore, starting the next morning, the day's OHLC in the bhavcopy and the…

We receive a Unix timestamp in seconds from the exchange, which we convert to a Date object before passing it on to our clients. The exchange doesn't provide a timestamp in milliseconds, so we depend on the data they supply. However, you might consi…
@gs3141 In the WebSocket, OHLC reflects the values for the day's time frame (not for minute or hourly intervals). Once the market opens, the closing price will still represent the previous trading day, as the day's closing price is available only af…
In the WebSocket, OHLC represents the values for the day. Before the market opens, this data reflects the previous trading day's values. However, once the market opens, the closing price will still represent the previous trading day, while the openi…
We're checking this and will provide an update shortly. Meanwhile, kindly let us know whether you're facing this issue during any specific timeframe or it happens randomly.
Currently, we don't have a specific ETA for this. However, if you'd like to utilize the market protection feature, you can do so through a raw HTTP call for the time being.
Kite Connect is an execution platform. I am afraid we can't provide support for writing code. However, you might consider enabling debug logs for JavaKiteConnect or printing the KiteException message to understand the reason behind it.

Based on the attached screenshot, it appears that the request token is present in the URL. You can use this token to obtain the access token. For additional information, please refer to the documentation.
It looks like the API key you mentioned earlier is associated with the free version. If you've set up a Kite Connect (paid version) app, you can use the API key and access token from that paid version app to resolve the issue.
Please avoid sharing your API key, access token, and client and app specific details publicly. I've removed it for you this time. Additionally, market data cannot be accessed via WebSocket with the Kite Connect personal app (free version), which is …
During the pre-market session for the first 8 minutes, i.e. between 9:00 AM and 9:08 AM, orders are collected, modified, or cancelled by the exchange. The order collection window can close at any time between 9:07 AM and 9:08 AM. The orders placed a…
Rather than checking the margin for each order separately, you can easily check the combined margins by including both orders in the basket order API as a single request. This approach will provide you with the net margin requirement details. Additi…

The Postback API is designed to send notifications only for orders placed using the app’s specific API key. You may refer to the documentation for more details.
To identify the exact issue, you’ll need to capture the raw error response from the order placement API request. The error remarks there will give more clarity, based on which you can investigate further and work toward resolving it.

The Kite web and historical API responses should match. If you encounter any instances where the details do not align, please share the raw API response and a screenshot of Kite we…
You won't receive data if the instrument token is incorrect. I recommend fetching the correct instrument token from the instrument file and cross-verifying to ensure you're subscribing to the correct one.
@jaimin_blackqr We haven't made any changes on our end. It's possible that some ticks were missed due to latency or connectivity issues.
Additionally, we use the same tick data to form OHLCV candles as displayed on the Kite charts, so unless you a…
