Regulatory Update on Static IP

What are the changes mentioned in the SEBI circular on API trading?

As per the SEBI circular certain changes will come into effect that impact how you use APIs for trading.

1. Static IP Address Is Mandatory from 1st April, 2026

You must provide a static IP address which can be obtained from your cloud or telecom provider. You may also add a secondary IP address as a backup, if required.

2. Existing API Keys Will Be Deleted

All existing Breeze API keys will be deleted. You will need to generate a new API key to continue trading.

3. New Guidelines on Algo vs Non-Algo Orders

If your strategy sends 10 or fewer orders per second, it need not be registered as an algo order, and you may continue using APIs as is.

4. Only One API Key Allowed for Non-Algo Orders

As per SEBI, only one active API key can be linked to a static IP for API usage.
