What is Static IP for API Trading and why is it required by SEBI?

Static IP for API Trading is a fixed internet address required by SEBI for all retail algorithmic traders in India. From April 1, 2024, all order requests from unregistered IPs are rejected. This requirement enhances security and regulatory oversight of algorithmic trading activities.

How do I register my static IP with Kite Connect for SEBI compliance?

Log in to developers.kite.trade, navigate to your profile page, and enter your static IP under the 'IP Whitelist' section. You must complete this registration before the April 1 deadline. Only order endpoints are validated against the static IP; other API endpoints remain accessible from any IP.

Can I share a static IP with family members under SEBI regulations?

Yes, SEBI permits IP sharing between family members including spouse, dependent children, and dependent parents. However, each IP address can only be linked to one developer account. You can add multiple Zerodha accounts under a single developer profile to share the same IP.

What are the rate limits and order requirements after April 1, 2024?

A strict 10 orders-per-second rate limit applies to all API orders. Market orders must include non-zero market protection values or they will be rejected. SL-M orders also require market protection. Order slicing should be capped at maximum 10 slices to comply with rate limits.

Where can I get a static IP address for API trading in India?

You can obtain a static IP from ISPs, cloud providers (AWS, GCP), or VPN/VPC services. NetSpace India offers premium VPN plans with static IP addresses specifically designed for API-based trading, ensuring compliance and reliability.
