Kkunal

A Python library for the Choice FINX Trading API. Supports REST API, Interactive WebSockets (order/trade updates), and Live Price Feed WebSockets (FIX3.0 compressed data).

Installation

pip install kkunal

All dependencies (requests, websockets, pandas) are installed automatically.

---

Quick Start

from choice_api import ChoiceClient

client = ChoiceClient(
    vendor_id="YOUR_VENDOR_ID",
    api_key="YOUR_JWT_BEARER_TOKEN"
)

# Login (TOTP flow is handled automatically)
session_id = client.login(mobile_no="1234567890")
print(f"Session ID: {session_id}")

Session Persistence

You can save and reload sessions to avoid logging in repeatedly during the same trading day:

session_file = "my_session.json"

if client.load_session(session_file):
    print("Restored today's session.")
else:
    client.login(mobile_no="1234567890")
    client.save_session(session_file)

Note: Sessions expire daily. load_session will return False if the saved session is from a previous day.

Scrip Master

The Scrip Master CSV is automatically downloaded when you log in. It maps instrument symbols to their tokens, lot sizes, and other metadata.

get_token(symbol, segment=None)

Looks up tokens for a given symbol or description.

• Without segment: Returns a list of dicts for ALL matching rows across every segment (NSE, BSE, CDS, etc.). Each dict contains Token, Exchange, Segment, Symbol, SecDesc, Series, MarketLot.
• With segment (e.g., "1", "13"): Returns a single token string for that specific segment, or None if not found.

# Get all matches across all segments
matches = client.scrip_master.get_token("RELIANCE")
for m in matches:
    print(f"Segment: {m['Segment']} — Token: {m['Token']}, Symbol: {m['Symbol']}")
# Segment: 1 — Token: 2885, Symbol: RELIANCE
# Segment: 13 — Token: 500325, Symbol: RELIANCE
# ...

# Get specific segment token
nse_token = client.scrip_master.get_token("RELIANCE", segment="1")
nse_cds_token = client.scrip_master.get_token("RELIANCE", segment="13")

search(name)

Case-insensitive fuzzy search: returns all rows where Symbol or SecDesc contains the given name.

results = client.scrip_master.search("NIFTY")
for r in results:
    print(f"{r['Exchange']} | {r['Symbol']} | Token: {r['Token']}")

get_details(token)

Returns all CSV row details for a given token as a dictionary.

details = client.scrip_master.get_details("2885")
print(details)

get_lot_size(token)

Returns the market lot size for a token.

lot = client.scrip_master.get_lot_size("2885")
print(lot)  # 1 for equity, 250 for NIFTY futures, etc.
