manjunathn1988

def get_option_symbol():
"""Finds the nearest SENSEX Call Option (CE) for the appropriate expiry."""
try:
# Fetch the spot price for SENSEX
spot = smart_api.ltpData("BSE", "SENSEX", "99919000")
sensex_spot = spot['data']['ltp']

    # Calculate the nearest strike price (rounded to the nearest 100)
    strike = round(sensex_spot / 100) * 100

    # Get today's date and determine the expiry date
    today = datetime.datetime.now()
    expiry_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(get_next_expiry_date(), "%d%b%y")
    
    # Format the expiry date in the correct "YYMNDD" format
    expiry_str = expiry_date.strftime("%y") + expiry_date.strftime("%b").upper()[0] + expiry_date.strftime("%d").zfill(2)

    # Construct the symbol in the correct format with no spaces
    symbol = f"SENSEX{expiry_str}{strike}CE"

    print(f"Searching for symbol: {symbol}")  # Print the symbol being searched

    # Search for the symbol on BSE
    scrip_info = smart_api.searchScrip("BFO", symbol)
    
    if scrip_info and 'data' in scrip_info:
        token = scrip_info['data'][0]['symboltoken']
        ltp = smart_api.ltpData("BFO", symbol, token)
        
        if ltp and 'data' in ltp: 
            return {'symbol': symbol, 'token': token, 'premium': ltp['data']['ltp']}
        else:
            print(f"⚠️ LTP data not found for {symbol}, skipping.")
            return None  # Skip if no LTP data
    else:
        print(f"⚠️ No matching scrip found for {symbol}")
        return None

@manjunathn1988 it would be easier to fetch the sensex symbol from the instrument master. https://margincalculator.angelone.in/OpenAPI_File/files/OpenAPIScripMaster.json
