WebHook Implementation

shahvj7
Hi. I was wondering if you could help me implement WebHook connection for getting order updates.
I read somewhere that only orders placed through actual API and not through Zerodha's Mobile or Web App can receieve updates using Webhook. Is that true?
I am currently placing orders through Web Application and since I do not intend to pay for Websocket, I had a plan of using Webhook to get these order updates.

    The Postback API is designed to send notifications only for orders placed using the app’s specific API key. You may refer to the documentation for more details.

    Also, I do not need to subscribe to websocket as I have no need for marketdata. All I want is to be able to listen to orders update realtime and I have been suggested to use webhook. Is it possible?

    If you intend to use the Kite Connect Personal API, you can receive order updates through Postback/Webhook.

    But the orders needs to be placed via Kite Connect Personal API only, right? @nagavenij

    For users of the Kite Connect Personal API (free version), order updates are available through Postback/Webhook. For the Kite Connect API (paid version), order updates can be received via WebSocket. You can refer to documentation.

    I want to connect the web sockets for order updates so that I can receive the order confirmation updates when the order is placed through the mobile app, kite web , or API, irrespective
    how can I do this ?
    I am not looking to get web socket for market data . will i still have to get the paid API to access order updates through Web sockets

    If you wish to use WebSocket to receive order updates, you will need to subscribe to the paid version of the Kite Connect API.
