I'm using Bitcoin-core RPC command to get current fee rate, but it returns the fees in KB, I would like to get fee rates in vbyte is that possible?
Is there's anyway to get fee estimation with vbyte instead of KB using "estimatesmartfee" RPC command?

It is of course already using vbytes; anything else doesn't make sense. Almost everywhere Bitcoin Core reports transaction sizes, they're reported in vbytes (for non-segwit transactions, 1 vbyte = 1 byte, so it was a transparent and compatible update).
However, the unit Bitcoin Core uses is "BTC per 1000 vbyte" rather than the currently more common "satoshi per vbyte".
A Bitcoin Core reported feerate of 0.00123456 BTC/kvb corresponds to 123.456 sat/vbyte.
