Feat: Add trading symbol compatibility about py5paisa HOT 7 CLOSED

Scrip codes doesn't seem to work with NSE as the exchange type.

from py5paisa.

Could I try this?

Sure @uberdeveloper

Any pointers?
I think we need to convert the existing master and map them to the keyword arguments for the place_order function or should we go for a new order_place function similar to Zerodha?

Hey @uberdeveloper
So I have been working on a GET endpoint which will return the scrip code for matching trading symbol.
I have written it for NSE cash and will soon be completing it for NSE Futures and Options also.
Does this help?

@invinciblycool
Thanks definitely.
So would this be a part of the existing place_order function or a new order_by_symbol function?
I prefer a function in the form
client.order_place(symbol='SBIN', exchange='NSE',qty=1,**kwargs)
where the exchange and symbol would be converted to the scrip_code and order would be placed.

The entire instruments file could be preloaded on a request so that the (symbol, exchange) tuple could be looked up for scrip code and vice-versa (scrip codes can be duplicates since they are used across exchanges)

Could I give a try in implementing this?

@invinciblycool any update on this feature for NSE Futures and Options... would be a great help if this can be released on priority.
