With a WebSocket API, you can receive quotes for all scrips across all Indian Exchanges during the market hours. The feeds are usually classified into two categories, Market Feed and Depth Feed. For every new connection, you will receive an acknowledgment (usually represented as “tk”) followed by the exchange feed (usually represented as “tf”).
