Symbol Master File

This API allows you to download the latest Symbol Master as a CSV file for an exchange segment.

USE CASE

Look up the exact symbol, lot size or expiry of an instrument before calling a quote, history or order API.

Details

  • You can get all the latest symbols of all the exchanges from the symbol master files
  • There is one file per exchange segment. For example, NSE equity derivatives are in NSE_FO.csv and the NSE cash market is in NSE_CM.csv.
  • Copy the Symbol ticker value exactly as it appears in the file when you use a symbol in other API requests. See Symbol Format.
  • Option type is CE or PE for options and XX for other segments. Expiry date applies only to derivative contracts.
  • The last three columns are reserved for future use and can be ignored.
  • Fields such as tradeStatus, qtyFreeze, upperPrice, lowerPrice, isCasEligible and stream are in the Symbol Master JSON file only.
