IndiaBulls Securities ​

IndiaBulls Securities provides API access through the XTS (Symphony Fintech) platform, served from https://xts.ibullssecurities.com. Tradeboard registers this integration as the broker ibulls, and its plugin talks to two XTS endpoints: the Interactive API for orders, positions and holdings, and the Market Data API for quotes, depth and historical candles.

Step 1: Create API Applications ​

Log in to the IndiaBulls XTS developer dashboard at https://xts.ibullssecurities.com with your IndiaBulls credentials.

Once logged in:

  1. Go to My App > Create New Application
  2. Create two separate apps:
  • Interactive Order API
  • Market Data API

Details to Fill:

  • App Name: Tradeboard
  • App Description: Tradeboard
  • Redirect URL: (leave it empty)
  • Company Name: Tradeboard (or your own)
  • Choose the correct API Package depending on the app (Order or Market Data).

Once submitted, wait for approval from the broker. After approval, the status will turn Active.

Step 2: Setup Environment Variables ​

Each app issues its own App Key and Secret Key. The Interactive app's pair goes into the plain variables, the Market Data app's pair into the _MARKET variables. Refer to the .sample.env file in your Tradeboard folder and prepare your .env as follows:

# Broker Configuration
BROKER_API_KEY = 'YOUR_BROKER_ORDER_API_KEY'
BROKER_API_SECRET = 'YOUR_ORDER_API_SECRET'

BROKER_API_KEY_MARKET = 'YOUR_BROKER_MARKET_API_KEY'
BROKER_API_SECRET_MARKET = 'YOUR_BROKER_MARKET_API_SECRET'

REDIRECT_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/ibulls/callback'

Replace the values with actual credentials shown on your developer dashboard once approved.

WARNING

The broker code in the redirect URL is ibulls, not indiabulls. Tradeboard reads the active broker out of REDIRECT_URL, so a different spelling is rejected as an invalid broker.

Step 3: Start Tradeboard ​

Once all environment variables are set and both apps are Active, start Tradeboard and click Connect on the IndiaBulls Securities broker page. There is no broker login screen to complete: Tradeboard posts your App Key and Secret Key straight to the XTS session endpoint and receives the interactive token, the market data feed token and your user id in one step.

This completes the integration process for IndiaBulls Securities with Tradeboard.

Integrating Tradeboard with the IndiaBulls XTS API lets you automate order execution and consume real-time market data from one place. Always ensure secure handling of API credentials, implement proper error handling, and monitor your integration to maintain reliability and compliance.

Supported Exchanges ​

Tradeboard reads this plugin's exchange list from broker/ibulls/plugin.json and serves it to the app, so symbol search, the Strategy Builder and the tools pages only offer what the plugin actually handles.

  • Tradable: NSE, BSE, NFO, BFO, MCX
  • Index feeds: NSE_INDEX, BSE_INDEX
