Notes on the NSE circular prescribing operating procedures for API usage

    @OptionQuant Yes, the static IP requirement is applicable only to order-related endpoints (placement, modification, and cancellation). Other API endpoints, including WebSocket data, order book, and positions, will continue to be accessible from any IP address.

    @Matti Does the second static IP is compulsory.
    What happen if i add only one IP.
  • salim_chisty
    @kuldeepchp Yes, a secondary IP is not mandatory; it is only required as a backup. You can proceed with registering only the primary static IP.

    Hi Danesh, we were seeking clarification on a couple of points in your query, hence the delay. I apologise.
    1. Yes, you can create multiple apps on a single Kite Connect account.
    2. Yes, they will all be bound to the same IPs.
    3. The order rate limit will be applied to the Zerodha account.

    Additionally, since such apps will be sharing the IP from which they send orders, you'll have to declare (as a default) that all such Zerodha accounts are owned by immediate family as defined in the regulation.

    Hi,
    1. Is IPv6 allowed to enter as static IP in the profile ?
    2. I added any random IP but order placement works fine? Is it that validation is still not in placed ?

    Thanks

    @Matti
    I wanted to confirm some points regarding the declaration requirement. When multiple Zerodha accounts are using APIs from the same whitelisted IP:
    1. Is there a specific form or process to officially declare that these accounts belong to immediate family members?
    2. Or is this declaration handled via email/support confirmation when required?
    3. Also, is there any additional compliance step needed from our side before using multiple accounts from the same infrastructure?
    Would appreciate your guidance on the exact process to stay compliant.
    Thanks.

    1. Yes, IPv6 is allowed.
    2. Validation will start on April 1.

    @akraghavendran
    We'll update the terms of use for Kite Connect such that if you're sharing IPs, you'll only be allowed to do so with permitted (by the regulation) family members. By sharing the IP, you'll essentially be declaring that you're only doing so with family. Our surveillance team will reach out to any clients where we see a large number of accounts sharing IPs for Kite Connect orders and suspend API access if such accounts are sharing static IPs among unrelated people.

    We originally decided to mandate unique static IPs for all users, with no allowance for families to share IPs, but have changed that stance to allow sharing to keep things simpler.

    Hi @Matti
    In that case, ideally if accounts are not falling into one family, then we should create different developer kite profile for each trading account and assign separate ip to each of them ?
    Here on, it won't be possible to put multiple non family accounts in single developer kite profile right ?

    Thanks
  • Matti
    Correct.

    @Matti
    How often one can change static IP addresses? A week or a month? Any specific time period?
  • sbalaji987
    in other brokers it's a week
  • salim_chisty
    @yc_mhk As per the exchange guidelines, only one modification is allowed within a calendar week.
  • Skipper
    If I make an addition or change in static IP address, will it be whitelisted immediately?

    Hi @Matti, @ankitdaf I am using AWS EC2 instance to place API orders?? which static IP address should I provide, Home Internet connection IP address or EC2 instance public ip address??

    Hi @ Matti,

    1.0 Can HUF account be on same profile as the Karta.
    2.0 Can Partnership firm and its Partners be on the same profile.
    3.0 Can an individual, its own HUF account and its partner firm be in the same profile.

    Regards

    @Matti we have Publisher API for Order Placement & Kite API to check Order Status & Margin with multi-user login .
    Will this applies to us "The circular says sharing the same static IP among different family member accounts is permitted. "

    Kindly asit.
