Some brokers require API orders to originate from a whitelisted static IP address. If your broker has this requirement, AlgoDelta offers static IP allocation options that can be used for broker whitelisting. Always check the current requirement with your broker.
A static IP is a fixed internet address that your broker whitelists, so it accepts API orders only from that address. Of the 28 brokers AlgoDelta supports, 4 have a connection that works without a static IP; the rest need one. On AlgoDelta a static IPv4 costs ₹400 and a static IPv6 ₹300 per account per month, plus 18% GST.
Why brokers ask for a static IP
Indian brokers increasingly accept API orders only from an IP address registered in the API app. This ties automated orders to a known source. For a trader it means the software placing your orders must send them from an address you have whitelisted with the broker. Our blog explains the background in the SEBI static IP rule.
Broker-by-broker table
“Daily login” means the broker's API session has to be re-authorised every trading day. “Automatic” means AlgoDelta can log in for you, for example with TOTP.

Broker rules change. Each broker page lists every connection type with its own static IP and login rule.
How many static IPs you need
- Different brokers: one static IP can be shared, for example a Zerodha and a Dhan account.
- Several accounts at the same broker: each account needs its own static IP. Ten Kotak accounts need ten.
- No-IP connections: accounts on a no-static-IP connection need none.
| Example setup | Static IPs |
|---|---|
| 1 Zerodha (Kite Connect) master + 5 Zerodha (without API) children | 1 |
| 1 Dhan + 1 Upstox + 1 FYERS account | 1 (shared across brokers) |
| 3 Kotak Securities accounts | 3 |
Static IP vs daily login
They are separate rules. A static IP controls where orders come from; a daily login controls how long the API session lasts. A broker can need one, both or neither, which is why the table above shows both.
How to set it up on AlgoDelta
- Pick the connection. On the broker's page, choose a no-IP connection if one exists and suits you.
- Add a static IP. If the broker needs one, take AlgoDelta's static IPv4 or IPv6 add-on for that account.
- Whitelist it. Paste the IP into your broker's API app settings (for example Kite Connect or SmartAPI).
- Connect and test. Connect the account in AlgoDelta and place a small test order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers to what traders ask most about this topic.
Zerodha (without API), Angel One No IP, Goodwill and GoPocket connect to AlgoDelta without a static IP. The brokers page lists the connection options for every broker.
You can use the same static IP across different brokers. For several accounts at the same broker, each account needs its own static IP, for example 10 Kotak accounts need 10 static IPs.
A static IPv4 costs ₹400 and a static IPv6 costs ₹300 per account per month, plus 18% GST. You only need one for brokers that accept API orders from a whitelisted IP. Several brokers have a no-static-IP connection, and one IP can be shared across different brokers.
Some brokers require API sessions or trading authorisations to be refreshed periodically, including daily in some cases. The exact process depends on your broker’s current authentication and API rules.
