stock option quantity field

pt4rh3

while placing order for stock options,
what should be the quantity,
e.g for GRASIM 1900CE
I want to buy 1 lot
so quantity should be 1 or 475?

try:
    orderparams = {
        "variety": "NORMAL",
        "tradingsymbol": tradingsymbol,
        "symboltoken": symboltoken,
        "transactiontype": "BUY",
        "exchange": "NFO",
        "ordertype": "MARKET",
        "producttype": "CARRYFORWARD",
        "duration": "DAY",
        "quantity": "1"
    }

@bablujat check via postman to square off. It is working fine. There maybe a issue in your code.
