Integration Notes

Best Practices

Holdings are consolidated across exchanges - use the symbols array to identify specific exchange tokens
Handle empty market data fields (ltp, pnl, close) gracefully
Cache holdings data appropriately to minimize API calls
Implement proper error handling and retry logic
Use the haircut field for risk assessment calculations

Data Freshness

Holdings data is updated in real-time during market hours. Market data fields may be empty outside trading hours or during system maintenance. Position quantities and average prices are always available.
