What SMC asks for
You find these in the SMC ACE / OpenAPI developer portal. Enter them only inside your own signed-in ConnectBridge account.
| Detail | Needed |
|---|---|
| API Key | Required |
| API Secret | Optional |
| Client ID | Required |
| Password | Optional |
| TOTP Secret | Optional |
| Access Token | Optional |
The optional details depend on how your SMC API is set up; leave blank what SMC does not ask for.
Connect it in four steps
- Get the details above from the SMC ACE / OpenAPI developer portal.
- Whitelist your ConnectBridge server's static IP with SMC, where it asks for one. Why a static IP?
- Sign in to ConnectBridge, open your broker connection, choose SMC and enter the details.
- Set your Trading Risk Profile, then start today's session when you are ready.
What then runs on your SMC 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 SMC account?
No. ConnectBridge works on the SMC account you already have. There is nothing to open or move.
Where do my money and shares stay?
In your own SMC trading and demat account, at all times. ConnectBridge never holds funds or securities, and you can disconnect at any time.
Who sets SMC's API rules and charges?
SMC does. Their terms, limits and any charges apply to your account; ConnectBridge does not set them.
SMC is a name belonging to its owner, used here only to say that ConnectBridge can connect to SMC accounts. Your account, its charges and its terms stay with SMC. ConnectBridge gives no investment advice and promises no returns.
