We launched Kite Connect to help startups build on top of our platform while we handled execution and compliance. Over time, many individual users began using the APIs too.
Now that there’s regulatory clarity, we’ve made execution APIs free for personal use. The ₹2000 charge is only for data access.
We kept that limit, once new regulations come out then that number will be decided by Exchanges and then every broker has to stick to it.
What use when data is charged for 2000, i think upstox had gone miles ahead of zerodha. No wo der why they got 4.5 rating compared 3.8 for zerodha. Those who are using api may not use kite web app. Still users are paying AMC and the data should be made free for zerodha users.
Upstox hs fake bot reviews. lot of compnies buy reviews n followers… cant rlly trust app store ratings.
Have you used their free api, try it then you will know how bad is zerodha positioned in tech stack
Upstox it is free, grow charges 499 but in zerodha it is 2000
no i was just sayin abt their rating. if u talk abt tech stack, zerodha anyday
Yes, that’s true, but not only Upstox, Angel One also has bot comments.
In my opinion, Groww is quite an immature platform, and its interface isn’t great.
do we need a static ip address to use this free personal api?
@kars Yes, you’ll need a static IP, and this is expected to go live by August 1. The static IP will only be required for the order place/modify/cancel endpoints.
May i know the use of api for startup mean? I was developing an portfolio tracking app for users can i use kite api to show last traded price like EOD price of any stock to calculate portfolio return?
You can write to kiteconnect(at)zerodha.com with the product description to know more details.
