hm, in your first example, you're making 15,000 HTTP requests, one for each instrument?

[tkanhe]

@knadh no, list (var_name: "opl") of about 490 instruments as there is a limit of 500. var: "op_list" is a list of list of 490x31 instruments, which is being passed to all three examples.

Create requests session by default for connection reuse is available in a new release v4.2.0.

Does using the pool make API requests fasters?

[vividvilla]

@vijaykz Ideally yes since there is no overhead to create new connections, do note that if you face any issues then configure pool config - https://github.com/zerodha/pykiteconnect/blob/master/kiteconnect/connect.py#L194
