Zerodha Kite Connect development
Kite Connect is Zerodha’s API for placing orders, reading positions and streaming live prices. We build automated trading systems on it to your rules, for equities and F&O on NSE, BSE and MCX, with the daily login, risk checks and reconciliation a live system needs.

What a Kite Connect build involves
- The daily login. A Kite Connect session lasts for the trading day, so the account holder logs in each morning. We make that step quick and make the system refuse to trade without a valid session.
- Live prices over WebSocket, subscribed only for the instruments your strategy needs.
- F&O orders: option chains, strike selection, multi-leg entries and exits, and expiry-day handling.
- Order limits respected, so a burst of orders is never rejected halfway.
- Reconciliation of positions and orders against what Zerodha reports, all day.
Within SEBI’s framework
Algorithmic trading through Indian brokers runs within SEBI’s framework and your broker’s terms. Under SEBI’s rules for retail algorithmic trading, brokers can require things such as a registered static IP and identification of algorithmic orders. We build to whatever your broker requires, and the strategy and every trading decision stay yours. What the rules mean in practice is in our guide to SEBI’s retail algo trading rules. More on the India page, and for other Indian brokers, see Indian broker API integration.
We build software that runs your strategy. We don’t supply strategies or signals, we don’t manage money, and we make no claim about how any strategy performs. The rules and every trading decision stay yours.
Common questions
- Why does a Kite Connect bot need me to log in every day?
- Kite Connect sessions last for one trading day, so the account holder logs in each morning to start a new one. We build the system to make that quick and to stay idle until a valid session exists.
- Can you automate F&O strategies on Zerodha?
- Yes. We build your F&O strategy to your rules, including option-chain handling, strike selection, multi-leg orders and expiry-day logic. We don’t supply F&O strategies or tips.
