Understanding Symbol Subscription Limit in Data WebSocket

What is the maximum number of symbols I can subscribe to in the Data Websocket?

To maintain system efficiency and ensure reliable performance for all users, FYERS imposes a subscription cap on its Market Data WebSocket service. This limit defines how many instruments you can track live at once.

Symbol subscription limit

You can subscribe to a maximum of 200 symbols at any given time using the FYERS Data WebSocket. This includes all instruments across equities, indices, and derivatives, and applies to both lite and symbolUpdate modes.

Why this limit matters

  • Stability: Prevents overload on the client and server
  • Performance: Ensures low-latency, uninterrupted tick delivery
  • Compliance: Adheres to fair usage practices

What if...

ScenarioOutcome
You try to subscribe to more than 200 symbolsFYERS will ignore or reject symbols beyond the limit
You rotate symbols dynamicallyUnsubscribe before adding new ones to stay within the cap
You want to track more than 200Consider logic-based switching based on active user focus or demand
Maintain an internal list of subscribed symbols to track usage and dynamically manage your pool without hitting the cap.
