What is the Sahi Trade API and who can use it?

It lets you trade and track your SAHI account through your own code instead of the app. You can read live prices, candles and option chains, place and manage orders, and check your positions, holdings and funds.

Any SAHI account holder can use it. There's no application or approval process, and we don't review your strategy.
