KITE API for individual

jay

Hi All,

Hope all are doing good.

I am about to create an App in kite Trade. But it requires a redirect URL.

So the questions are:

1. Can I (as an individual) use the API and place the trade without having redirect URL ?
I am planning to use standalone application in java to trade using APIs.
2. By placing order using API, any manual action is required or it will be placed directly unlike PI semi automate mode. (In PI we have to manually place the order after the alert generation).

Thank you,
Jay

1) You need a redirect URL to get the request_token when you first login. If you are using a standalone Java app, you can probably open a WebView/Component, set the redirect_url to http://127.0.0.1 and capture it.

2) No manual action is involved unless you build one. It's an HTTP API.
