Slight delay in the LTP prices

Programming NSE Python API

I see that there is a slight delay in the LTP prices received from

print(nse_eq(“MCX”)[‘priceInfo’][‘lastPrice’])

Is there some expected delay to LTP? Or, it should have been rea ltime.

The prices you see in NSE site is never instantenously. It can be fatal delay upto 5 mins.

Ok cool :). Looks like this library gives the latest price

import yfinance as yf
yf.download(tickers=‘MCX.NS’, period=‘1d’, interval=‘5m’)

Yes.

Google/Investing/Tradingview/Yahoo streams live data.

NSE sells the data as you can read here → Query about nsepython - #3 by dexter

So whatever you see is snapshot feed.
