Let’s understand how to add a Kotak Securities account in AutoTrader Web.
AutoTrader Web uses Kotak Securities trading APIs which are complete FREE.
Important: By default, Kotak onboards all new customers to their NEO api. This NEO api is NOT supported on AutoTrader Web yet. Please inform Kotak to keep your account on “Kotak Stock Trade (KS1)” api.
