Hi @saghar_sakpal ,

We request you to please try passing ‘‘from dhanhq import dhanhq’’ and check if you are still receiving the same error response while importing the library.

Hi Shubham, i am also getting same error for market feed code.

This part is working ‘‘from dhanhq import dhanhq’’ but from dhanhq import DhanContext, dhanhq
ImportError: cannot import name ‘DhanContext’ from ‘dhanhq’ … getting this error

@Rajan_Arora , @saghar_sakpal ,
On the commandline type : pip show dhanhq
It should show the below:
Name: dhanhq

Version: 2.1.0
If it shows version v2.0.2, install the latest dhanhq version using this command:
pip install --no-cache-dir --force-reinstall
git+https://github.com/dhan-oss/DhanHQ-py.git@main
The package will be updated to v2.1.0 and shall resolve the ‘DhanContext’ import error.

Hey @saisaigraph ,

We request you to please ensure that the latest version of pip is installed on your system. You may do this by running the following command:

pip install dhanhq==2.1.0

After installation, you can import the DhanHQ Libraries as shown below:

from dhanhq import DhanContext, dhanhq

dhan_context = DhanContext("client_id", "access_token")
dhan = dhanhq(dhan_context)

Please replace "client_id" and "access_token" with your actual credentials. You can then start making API calls seamlessly.

For reference, you may also visit our official GitHub repository here:

while True:
data.run_forever()
response = data.get_data()

Hii @saisaigraph ,

Please ensure that your instruments field is correctly structured. Below is the complete sample code to fetch live data using WebSocket via the DhanHQ API:

from dhanhq import DhanContext, MarketFeed

# Define and use your dhan_context if you haven't already done so like below:
dhan_context = DhanContext("client_id", "access_token")

# Structure for subscribing is (exchange_segment, "security_id", subscription_type)
instruments = [
    (MarketFeed.NSE, "1333", MarketFeed.Ticker)]

version = "v2"  # Mention version and set to the latest 'v2'

try:
    data = MarketFeed(dhan_context, instruments, version)
    while True:
        data.run_forever()
        response = data.get_data()
        print(response)
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

Using the exact code given by you get the same error:

symbol = SAIL, sec_id = 2963
instruments = [(1, ‘2963’)]
subscription_code = 15
(1, ‘2963’, 15)
no close frame received or sent
Please let me know if you would like to connect via zoom please so i can show you.
