Broker Auth: Zerodha (Kite Connect)¶
Authenticate and place a demo order via Kite Connect over your static IP.
Part 02 of 20 in the ServLoci algo/options trading notebook series — full index in notebooks/README.md.
Setup¶
# Get your dedicated static IPv6 + SOCKS5 credentials free:
# https://comm.servloci.in/register (or /auth/google?free=1 for an instant trial)
# Your api_key / api_secret pair shows up in the portal after signup:
# https://comm.servloci.in/user
!pip install -q "requests[socks]"
!curl -sL https://comm.servloci.in/sdk/servloci.py -o servloci.py
import os
from servloci import ServLoci
SERVLOCI_API_KEY = os.environ.get("SERVLOCI_API_KEY", "dhan:1000000001") # broker:client_id
SERVLOCI_API_SECRET = os.environ.get("SERVLOCI_API_SECRET", "") # from the portal — leave blank to run this notebook in demo mode
sl = None
if SERVLOCI_API_SECRET:
sl = ServLoci(api_key=SERVLOCI_API_KEY, api_secret=SERVLOCI_API_SECRET)
print("ServLoci configured:", sl.host, sl.port)
else:
print("SERVLOCI_API_SECRET not set — running in demo mode (no live proxy calls).")
Support level: Self-service — Kite Connect apps are approved instantly from the developer console; add your ServLoci IPv6 there.
if sl:
sl.attach() # BEFORE importing kiteconnect — it creates a requests.Session at import time
from kiteconnect import KiteConnect
kite = KiteConnect(api_key=os.environ.get("KITE_API_KEY", ""))
print("Login URL:", kite.login_url())
# After the browser redirect, exchange request_token for an access_token:
# data = kite.generate_session(request_token, api_secret=os.environ["KITE_API_SECRET"])
# kite.set_access_token(data["access_token"])
# order_id = kite.place_order(tradingsymbol="INFY", exchange=kite.EXCHANGE_NSE,
# transaction_type=kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_BUY, quantity=1,
# order_type=kite.ORDER_TYPE_MARKET, product=kite.PRODUCT_MIS,
# variety=kite.VARIETY_REGULAR)
else:
print("Demo mode — set SERVLOCI_API_SECRET above to run this against your Zerodha account.")
