how to use kiteconnect api with r for data analysis
Install the "httr" and "jsonlite" packages in R. These packages will be used to send HTTP requests to the KiteConnect API and parse the JSON data returned by the API.
Create an account on the KiteConnect developer website and generate an API key. The API key will be used to authenticate your requests to the API.
Use the httr package to send a request to the KiteConnect API and retrieve the data. For example, you can use the GET() function to retrieve the live prices of a stock by specifying the appropriate endpoint and passing in your API key as a parameter.
library(httr)
library(jsonlite)
api_key <- "your_api_key"
endpoint <- "https://api.kite.trade/quote/MSFT"
response <- GET(endpoint, add_headers(Authorization = paste0("token ", api_key)))
Use the jsonlite package to parse the JSON data returned by the API. You can use the fromJSON() function to convert the JSON data into a data frame that can be easily analyzed in R.
data <- fromJSON(content(response, as = "text"))
Use various R packages and functions for data analysis such as tidyverse, ggplot2, dplyr, lm(), arima(), etc. to analyze the data.
You can also use the jsonlite package to make requests to the other endpoints of the KiteConnect API like retrieving historical data, instruments, margins, etc
To schedule a job to retrieve data automatically you can use the cronR package, it allows to schedule R scripts in a similar way as a cron job in Linux.
Please note that the usage of the KiteConnect API is subject to the terms and conditions of the provider and also to check the usage limits and fees of your plan.
