What Kotak asks for
You find these in the Kotak Neo API developer portal. Enter them only inside your own signed-in ConnectBridge account.
| Detail | Needed |
|---|---|
| Consumer Key | Required |
| Mobile Number | Required |
| UCC Code | Required |
| MPIN | Required |
| TOTP Seed | Required |
The UCC is the unique client code on your Kotak login page; the MPIN is your 6-digit trading PIN; the TOTP seed is the authenticator setup key.
Connect it in four steps
- Get the details above from the Kotak Neo API developer portal.
- Whitelist your ConnectBridge server's static IP with Kotak, where it asks for one. Why a static IP?
- Sign in to ConnectBridge, open your broker connection, choose Kotak and enter the details.
- Set your Trading Risk Profile, then start today's session when you are ready.
What then runs on your Kotak account
- Your Research Analyst's recommendations, sized to your capital, while your session is on.
- Your own orders from the order ticket, with the same Risk Profile protection.
- Stoploss, trailing, targets with locks, and day limits, by your rules. See every control.
- Strategy Baskets for spreads and hedges, placed in one go.
Stay safe
We never ask for broker details, OTPs, passwords, TPIN or UPI PIN over a call, WhatsApp or email. A TOTP secret is the setup key from your authenticator, not the 6-digit code. Your API secret, PIN or password, TOTP secret and session token are stored encrypted, and used only to send your orders to your broker.
Questions
Do I need a new Kotak account?
No. ConnectBridge works on the Kotak account you already have. There is nothing to open or move.
Where do my money and shares stay?
In your own Kotak trading and demat account, at all times. ConnectBridge never holds funds or securities, and you can disconnect at any time.
Who sets Kotak's API rules and charges?
Kotak does. Their terms, limits and any charges apply to your account; ConnectBridge does not set them.
Kotak is a name belonging to its owner, used here only to say that ConnectBridge can connect to Kotak accounts. Your account, its charges and its terms stay with Kotak. ConnectBridge gives no investment advice and promises no returns.
