Request Body

Parameter	Description	Mandatory/Optional	Default Value
apikey	Your OpenAlgo API key	Mandatory	-
date	Date in YYYY-MM-DD format	Mandatory	-

MarketTimingsSchema declares only these two fields and both are required. Any other field, including an exchange filter, returns HTTP 400: the response always covers every tracked exchange.

Response Fields

Field	Type	Description
status	string	"success" or "error"
data	array	Array of timing objects

Timing Object Fields

Field	Type	Description
exchange	string	Exchange code
start_time	number	Market open time (epoch milliseconds)
end_time	number	Market close time (epoch milliseconds)

Default Trading Hours (IST)

These are the shipped defaults. An operator can override any of them from the admin market-timings page, and the API then returns the stored values instead, so read the response rather than assuming this table.

Exchange	Open	Close
NSE	09:15	15:30
BSE	09:15	15:30
NFO	09:15	15:40
BFO	09:15	15:40
CDS	09:00	17:00
BCD	09:00	17:00
MCX	09:00	23:55
NCO	09:00	23:55
CRYPTO	00:00	23:59:59

NFO and BFO close at 15:40, not 15:30. SEBI's Closing Auction Session applies to the equity cash segment only, so the derivatives segment keeps trading past the cash close and the F&O window is deliberately wider.

Notes

• Date must be between 2020-01-01 and 2050-12-31

• Times are returned as epoch milliseconds

• On weekends the response is not empty: it contains the CRYPTO session only, since crypto trades 24/7. A full trading holiday with every exchange closed does return an empty array.

• For special sessions (e.g., Muhurat trading), returns only the special session timings

• On a SETTLEMENT_HOLIDAY the normal timings for all exchanges are returned, because trading is open

• MCX and NCO have extended trading hours into the night

Converting Epoch to Readable Time

JavaScript:

const date = new Date(1766115900000);
console.log(date.toLocaleString('en-IN', { timeZone: 'Asia/Kolkata' }));
// Output: "19/12/2025, 9:15:00 am"

Python:

from datetime import datetime
import pytz

ist = pytz.timezone('Asia/Kolkata')
dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(1766115900000/1000, ist)
print(dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z'))
# Output: 2025-12-19 09:15:00 IST
