Too much inconsistency in BANKNIFTY/NIFTY options symbols

Developer API
1

Hello,

I’m trying to develop a custom application using UPSTOX API but observing inconsistency at many places particularly for BANKNIFTY/NIFTY option symbols.

I have seen multiple variations of how an option or strike price symbol in various API responses so far. Few examples:

  1. Option Chain API response: “BANKNIFTY 47500 CE 15 APR 24”
  2. Positions API: “BANKNIFTY2441647500CE”
  3. Quotes API: “NSE_FO:BANKNIFTY2441647500CE”
  4. To add more, sometimes there’s a pipe ‘|’ in the symbol and sometimes there’s a colon ‘:’.

Eager to know your views on this. Let me know if I’m missing anything here.
