yes but for that have to click on each name then be able to see it. ideally if u add it in the primary page itself the following for each stock (and make it sortable)
margin %
initial margin
funded value

Why are you not passing enough fields in Kite API:
- MTF enabled flag
- F&O enabled Flag
- Pledge-ability flag
- Freeze quantity
- Whether the stock is moving in circuits flag
- Multiplier for different commodities, we have to maintain a separate sheet on that
This CSV file is available at this link, which contains the list of MTF-approved securities. You can use this data to filter the MTF-enabled instruments from the Kite Connect instrument file.
This is currently on our to-do list. In the meantime, you can use the autoslice parameter
to automatically handle orders that exceed the freeze quantity.
You can download the CSV file from this link after selecting āSECURITIES IN F&Oā, and use it to filter the F&O-enabled instruments from the Kite Connect instrument file.
The instrument list API returns a large volume of data and isnāt intended for frequent polling. A better approach is to use the Quote API, where you can request market data for specific instruments and compute circuit conditions using the LTP and circuit limit values returned in the response.
For real-time monitoring, we recommend subscribing via WebSocket instead of repeatedly polling the Quote endpoint.
Note: The Quote API supports fetching full market snapshots for up to 500 instruments at once. Please also be mindful of the applicable rate limits.
The CSV file available at this link contains the list of pledge-approved securities. This can be used to identify pledge-eligible instruments from the Kite Connect instrument file.
The multiplier is currently not exposed via the API. We do have a plan to add this to the instruments master. That said, the lot size for all MCX contracts is already available in the instrument file and should be sufficient for order placement.
Yeah these are hackey ways and implemented at our side, already know about these.
I am saying why canāt you improve your API so that your users donāt have to find workarounds?? At least the one which is chargeable?
also, bigger question - why isnt margin freed up when we exit MTF positions. we have to wait till next day for the funds to be reversed and freed up. in falling mkts this causes lot of issues. even if we exit mtf positions, have to wait for T+1. no way to fund mtm or margin shortfall today by exiting MTF.
you guys need to run faster to fix these important issues, rather than focus on small trivial things.
there is lot of competition. govt is increasing STT, volumes will reduce, if u want to mainting business at higher levels, need to try and do better.

We appreciate your feedback and have noted this for future consideration. We would welcome a bit more context around your use case and how this feature would benefit you, as that would help us evaluate it more effectively.
My usecase? I am trading directly through API, I suppose thatās what API is for?
Only option is to either let the order fail or ingest those csvs manually every once in a while or maintain manual sheets; which isnāt efficient.
Also would be great if pledging also happens automatically if I pass a particular flag as true - pledge all stocks always.
