Doubts reagarding Open Interest data!

[VelmuruganSengottai]

@nithin I am posting this query here instead of kite developer forum because my doubt is not related to APIs or anything technical .

I am getting Open Interest data for the contracts that i am interested in using kite developer APIs.
My doubt is how delayed the data will be . My guess is calculating OI data is quite tricky and there might be some delay.
( maybe brokerages will be updating their OI to NSE at regular intervals and the NSE will come up with the net OI at regular intervals )

My query it,
If i get the Open interest data for Bank Nifty 26,100 call at 1.00PM , possibly what is the latest data i will get ?
Like the data we get is 5 minutes delayed or 15 mins delayed .

I had answered a similar question earlier

Is the live open interest(OI) data being provided by exchanges correct?

Everyday the open interest streamed by the exchanges at 3.29 pm to the end of data released at 4.30 pm has a huge variance (sometimes over 40%). Am I missing something? Does it make sense to track the live OI and use it as part of trading strategy?

The only way to get to know the real OI is only after market close.
