# Zerodha Kite Helper Wraps the common Kite Connect read paths so you don't keep re-explaining the auth dance. ## When to use - User wants to fetch positions, holdings, orders, margins, or quotes from Kite. - User is debugging the request-token → access-token exchange. - User needs historical candles for backtesting. ## Auth flow (one-shot) 1. Login URL: `https://kite.zerodha.com/connect/login?api_key=<API_KEY>&v=3` 2. After login, Kite redirects to your registered URL with `?request_token=xxx`. 3. Exchange for access_token (valid till 6 AM next day): ```python from kiteconnect import KiteConnect kite = KiteConnect(api_key=API_KEY) data = kite.generate_session(request_token, api_secret=API_SECRET) access_token = data["access_token"] kite.set_access_token(access_token) ``` Store `access_token` in a gitignored file. **Never** commit it. ## Common read calls ```python kite.positions() # net + day positions kite.holdings() # long-term holdings kite.orders() # today's orders kite.margins() # equity + commodity margins kite.quote(["NSE:NIFTY 50", "NSE:RELIANCE"]) kite.historical_data(instrument_token, from_date, to_date, "5minute") ``` ## Rate limits to respect - 3 req/sec for quote, ohlc, ltp - 10 req/sec for order placement (we don't place orders here) - 1 req/sec for everything else If you exceed, you get HTTP 429. Back off with exponential jitter. ## What this skill will NOT do - **No live orders.** This skill never calls `kit
