Currently we have to rely on 'https://zerodha.com/margin-calculator/SPAN/' for checking margins of individual F&O contracts. Is there any plan to introduce this via API, where if the details are passed, it will return the margin required. This will be very helpful.
Just need to reconfirm with the margin req stuff before codifying. Q1] Margin req. strictly for "MIS order type" for Nifty Options buying. Pls. see snapshot. Is same calc. to be used for MIS but "WITHOUT STOPLOSS" whilst for BO & CO : SL is compulsory?? Am I right??
@abhayla, As mentioned by @tahseen, you can get instruments margins data and do the calculations at your end. You can refer to this thread to know more about the endpoints.
We may provide it in the future if everything is feasible.

No, we don't APIs for options margin. You go through this thread.
