The official Python client library for Zerodha's Kite Connect trading APIs. It wraps REST endpoints for order placement and portfolio management and provides WebSocket streaming of live market data.
Use cases
- place stock orders programmatically from python
- stream live market data via websocket
- manage a trading portfolio via api
- build an algorithmic trading bot for indian markets
- fetch historical candle data for backtesting
- split large orders that exceed exchange freeze limits
When to choose
- you have a Kite Connect subscription and want the official supported client
- you're building trading or algo systems on Zerodha in Python
- you need real-time market data ticks via WebSocket
When to avoid
- you trade with a broker other than Zerodha
- you need a Python 2.7-compatible client (use v4.x or earlier)
- you want a broker-agnostic trading abstraction layer
