Thanks for the support, I appreciate it.

Waiting for the updated python package having the BFO(SENSEX Options) features like exchange support, trading symbol, order management(place\modify) in place.

Regards,
Nandan

Hi Nandan,

We are releasing a new version of connect which gives faster response and also replacing token with trading symbol across all the API, so it’s easy for the users to write better code and also easily place orders just with the symbols, i have also update this with the BFO exchange.
Please find the attach link for the new docs, Firstock Connect also we have update the python package to the newer version so the BFO symbols are available, i will shortly provide you a sample code for it also,

pip install thefirstock==4.0.1

The changelog will be update by end of the day.
Please be aware this is a beta version and will shortly move into production.
Thank you

Hi ,
replacing token with trading symbol across all the API breaks the existing Algos\backward compatibility of the library is Broken. Algo needs to be changed completely

         Instead you should have used parameterized methods.

GetQuoteLTP having a parameter as token and another method having a parameter as tradingsymbol to ensure its backward compatible.
This what most of the other broker API like AliceBlue do.

In the new beta update WebSocket piece is completely changed

Also there is no reference sample code in the python GitHub on how to use the websocket.

           Backward compatibility is BROKEN because of all the changes and I cannot test BFO or even use NFO now

Thanks,
Nandan.

Also Token Lookup are Faster compared to tradingsymbols.
Providing both would be good

Hi Nandan,
I will shortly provide you with an example and also the walkthrough for the new websockets, and also update the github, we shall plan out to make sure the V4 is backward compatible, as this is a beta version, we shall be able to plan out the requirements accordingly.

Thank you

Hi,
I have been given 2 dates i,e. 17th Dec/18thDec EOD for the fix to be available in the latest version - v3 - having exchange BFO support and to provide me with the sample code.

      Updated v3 package is still not released.

I want to do Sensex expiry on Friday and need to test my Algo and make changes in my Algo if needed for BFO Sensex expiry

     I request you to please provide the Updated v3 package ASAP.

Thanks & Regards,
Nandan
