Trade API (64)

How do I place an order through the API?

Send a place order request with the exchange segment, symbol, buy or sell, quantity, order type, product, validity and price. The request has to come from your registered static IP.

A few things to watch:

  • Prices are in paise. ₹2,499.55 is sent as 249955.

  • Quantity is in units, not lots. Multiply lots by the lot_size column in the scrip master. For example, if lot_size is 75, send 75 for one lot.

  • Copy the symbol exactly as it appears in the scrip master.

The response gives you a list of order IDs. You can track the order in the order book or on the order updates stream.
