Overview

SmartAPI by Angel Broking is an Indian stock brokerage API that lets developers build automated trading systems, portfolio trackers, and order management tools for the NSE and BSE markets. It requires an API key and supports real-time market data, historical data, order placement, and WebSocket streaming. This API is best suited for developers with some trading domain knowledge.

Beginner Tip

Before placing live orders, always test your integration in the sandbox environment to avoid accidental real trades. Start by exploring the market data endpoints before attempting order management.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

AG8001 - Invalid Token JWT access token has expired (tokens are short-lived).

✓ Implement token refresh logic using the refresh token endpoint before making subsequent API calls.

AG8002 - Unauthorized API key not activated or IP address not whitelisted.

✓ Log into your Angel Broking account, activate the API key, and add your server IP to the whitelist.

TOTP Required error Angel Broking requires a Time-based One-Time Password for login.

✓ Use an authenticator app or the pyotp/speakeasy library to generate TOTP codes from your TOTP secret.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
