IndMoney (INDstocks)

IndMoney (INDstocks) is a modern trading infrastructure platform offering APIs that allow traders and developers to build, automate, and execute trading strategies.
Using IndMoney APIs, users can connect their IndMoney trading account with tools like Tradeboard and create their own fully self-hosted, secure algo-trading setup.

Steps for Integration

IndMoney uses a simple Bearer Token authentication model.

To generate a token:

Visit https://www.indstocks.com/app/api-trading

  1. Enter your registered mobile number and login with the help of OTP
  1. Open the Algo Trading above the chart view
  1. Configure Static IP
  1. Setting up TOTP

TOTP setup is a one-time step done on the INDstocks website. You need your phone with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, 2FAS or Ente Auth).

Step 1: Open the Access Tokens page

Find the Setup TOTP card at the bottom of the page and click Setup Now.

Step 2: Start the setup

A panel opens explaining the three steps. Click Setup TOTP at the bottom.

Step 3: Scan the QR code

Scan the QR code with your authenticator app, or copy the setup code beneath it and enter it manually.

Save the setup key somewhere safe before continuing. It is shown only once and cannot be recovered. If you lose it you must disable TOTP and enrol again.

Click Continue

Step 4: Confirm with a code

Enter the current 6-digit code from your authenticator app and click Enable Login

You have 5 minutes to complete this step. If it expires, start again from Step 1.

Step 5: Copy your Client ID

TOTP is now enabled. Copy the Client ID shown. This is what Tradeboard needs.

This generated clientId will be used in Tradeboard API Key for all authenticated API requests.

Environment Configuration

The generated client ID is used as the API Key and keep as blank for API SECRET. Below is a sample configuration for the .env file:

# Indmoney Broker Configuration
BROKER_API_KEY = 'generated_client_id_after_TOTP_setup' 
BROKER_API_SECRET = '' #Keep it blank intentionally
REDIRECT_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/indmoney/callback'

Integrating Tradeboard with Indmoney's API opens up possibilities for automated trading strategies, providing a powerful tool for traders and developers to exploit market opportunities efficiently. It's essential to follow best practices for API integration, including handling rate limits, managing API keys securely, and ensuring robust error handling and logging mechanisms are in place.

Supported Exchanges

Tradeboard reads this plugin's exchange list from broker/indmoney/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
  • Index feeds: NSE_INDEX, BSE_INDEX
