This guide explains what Navia&#8217;s trading API does, who it is for, what it costs, and the rules that now apply to automated trading in India.<\/p>\n\n<!-- ===================== QUICK ANSWER (orange) ===================== -->\n<div class=\"navia-quick\">\n  <p><span class=\"qa-label\">\ud83d\udca1 Quick Answer<\/span><br>\n  Navia offers a trading API that lets you connect your own software to your Navia account, so you can place orders, stream live market data and fetch reports programmatically. Navia&#8217;s API page states it is free to use, with \u20b90 brokerage on trades placed through it, and only statutory charges apply. Any Navia client with an active trading account can generate API access, from individual developers to fintech firms. The API is a standard REST interface that works with any language, covers equity, F&amp;O and commodities, and allows up to 10 orders per second and 3,000 orders per day. Automated and algorithmic trading through the API is subject to SEBI&#8217;s framework for algorithmic trading and the exchanges&#8217; requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-navia-trading-api\" style=\"color:#223872;\">What is the Navia trading API?<\/h2>\n<p>An API, or application programming interface, lets one piece of software talk to another. Navia&#8217;s trading API lets your own program connect to your Navia account to place, modify and cancel orders, stream live quotes and market depth, and pull reports such as holdings, positions, orderbook and funds. It is a standard REST interface over HTTP, so you can build with almost any language, including Python, Java, Node.js, Go and Rust.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-can-you-build\" style=\"color:#223872;\">What can you build with it?<\/h2>\n<p>The API is a building block, not a finished product, so what you create is up to you. Common uses include automating a trading strategy and building your own portfolio, profit and loss and analytics dashboards on live Navia data. Developers also use it to power option chain and open interest analytics, to create price alert engines and trading bots, to monitor positions and margins programmatically, and to embed trading and investing into their own fintech product. These are tools for analysis and execution, and none of them changes the risk of trading itself.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"navia-api-cost\" style=\"color:#223872;\">What does the Navia API cost?<\/h2>\n<p>Navia&#8217;s API page states that the trading API is free to use, with \u20b90 brokerage on the trades you place through it. Only the statutory charges that apply to any trade, such as STT, exchange transaction charges, GST, the SEBI turnover fee and stamp duty, are payable, plus a DP charge when you sell shares from demat. Brokerage will not exceed the limit prescribed by SEBI.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"api-limits\" style=\"color:#223872;\">What it can do, and its limits<\/h2>\n<p>Here is what the API supports at a glance.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;margin:20px 0;\">\n  <thead>\n    <tr>\n      <th style=\"background:#223872;color:#ffffff;padding:10px;border:1px solid #223872;text-align:left;\">Capability<\/th>\n      <th style=\"background:#223872;color:#ffffff;padding:10px;border:1px solid #223872;text-align:left;\">Details<\/th>\n    <\/tr>\n  <\/thead>\n  <tbody>\n    <tr><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\"><strong>Order actions<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\">Place, modify and cancel orders<\/td><\/tr>\n    <tr style=\"background:#EDEFF6;\"><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\"><strong>Account data<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\">Holdings, positions, orderbook and funds<\/td><\/tr>\n    <tr><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\"><strong>Market data<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\">Real time quotes, market depth and historical data<\/td><\/tr>\n    <tr style=\"background:#EDEFF6;\"><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\"><strong>Segments<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\">Equity, F&amp;O and commodities<\/td><\/tr>\n    <tr><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\"><strong>Order rate limit<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\">Up to 10 orders per second<\/td><\/tr>\n    <tr style=\"background:#EDEFF6;\"><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\"><strong>Daily limit<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\">Up to 3,000 orders per day<\/td><\/tr>\n    <tr><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\"><strong>Modifications<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #D5DBEC;\">Up to 25 per individual order<\/td><\/tr>\n  <\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2 id=\"get-api-access\" style=\"color:#223872;\">How to get API access<\/h2>\n<p>You need an active Navia trading account to use the API. Once your account is active, you generate your API credentials from your account, authenticate, and follow the documentation to integrate trading into your software.

A few points matter before you automate. Every algorithmic order must carry a unique identifier assigned by the exchange, an Algo ID, and strategies may need to be registered with the exchange through your broker before they go live. API access now requires a static IP address mapped to your API keys, authentication through OAuth, two-factor authentication, and logging out of API sessions each day. Traders placing fewer than 10 orders per second are generally treated as normal API users, while faster activity requires registering the algorithm with the exchange. The broker is treated as the principal and is responsible for the algorithms on its platform. You must follow the exchange registration and approval requirements before deploying an automated strategy. You can read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/navia.co.in\/blog\/algo-trading-explained-sebi-rules-india\/\">algo trading and the SEBI rules<\/a> and confirm the current process with Navia and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nseindia.com\">NSE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"note-on-risk\" style=\"color:#223872;\">A note on risk<\/h2>\n<p>An API and automation are tools that help you build and execute, but they do not remove the risk of the market or guarantee any outcome. Trading in F&amp;O in particular carries substantial risk.
