Postman

AutoTrader Web APIs are broker-independent APIs used to build trading systems that work with multiple brokers. They currently support leading Indian stock brokers.

Postman is a widely used tool for API testing. We have packaged all of our APIs as a Postman collection so you can try them quickly. Follow the steps below.

For the full list of available endpoints, see the API documentation.
