About New Circular | Query Regarding Request Token Generation from Different IP

Lakshmi
I'm a bit confused about the circular,

Suppose I manage a friend's trading algorithm. Both of us have separate APIs and each API has its own unique static IP address.

Now, to log in to his API, can I generate the `request_token` for his account from my own laptop, where my personal trading account is already logged in?
Would doing this cause any compliance or technical issues for me in the future?

Here's what I understand so far:

1. SEBI/NSE/BSE might want to capture the IP addresses for critical actions such as PLACE_ORDER, MODIFY-ORDER, and CANCEL_ORDER.
2. They might also track IP addresses for other actions like LOGIN, GET-ORDERBOOK, GET-POSITIONS, etc.
3. I have access to my friend's account — can I log in to his account on my machine just to generate the `request_token`?

Please clarify whether this kind of cross-account login from the same IP or system might raise any regulatory red flags or API-level issues.

    Kite Connect is purely an execution platform. For your data requirements, you will need to contact an exchange-authorised data vendor.
    If the accounts belong to your immediate family, you can use the same IP. If they're not immediate family, they'll need separate IPs. The 10 OPS limit is per API key. You can use your machine to generate the request token of your friend's account, but it's not recommended.
