What you will need

• Login id
• Password
• TOTP Key (you need to activate external TOTP)
• API Key
• API Secret
• Static IP — given by our system (you get it after saving your account)

How to get the API Key and API Secret

1. Visit the API dashboard: https://developers.kite.trade/apps
2. Click the Create New App button.
   • Type: Select Personal (Free).
     • You also have the option to use Zerodha’s paid API, if you prefer. Its main advantage is that when using a master-child copy setup — with your Zerodha account as the master — orders are copied with almost no delay.
   • App Name: Stocks Developer
   • Zerodha Client ID: Your Zerodha client id
   • Redirect Url: https://webx.stocksdeveloper.in/auth/zerodhaCopy
   • Postback Url: https://apix.stocksdeveloper.in/postback/zerodhaCopy
   • Postback Url: It is optional, keep it blank
   • Description: Multi account monitoring system
3. Click the Create button.
4. Your app will be created.
5. Click the App Id to get the API Key and API Secret.

How to set up TOTP

1. Install the Google Authenticator app on your phone.
2. We need the secret TOTP key that Kite provides when you enable TOTP.
3. If you have already enabled TOTP, then you should have this key. Most likely you entered it in a TOTP app like Google Authenticator. If you do not have the key, you can disable TOTP and re-enable it.
4. Steps to enable TOTP:
   • Login to the Kite website.
   • On the top right of your screen, click on your Login Id.
   • Click on your Name to go to the Profile section.
   • On the Profile page, on the top right you have Password & Security.
   • This has an option to enable/disable the TOTP.
   • Watch the video above to understand.
5. Important: Remember to copy the key that is generated during this step (click on the Can’t scan? Copy the key link, which can be seen in the image below). This key will not be visible once your TOTP is enabled.
6. Note: Only after you have enabled TOTP, make sure you logout and login again into the Kite website. If possible, try the logout and login 2-3 times.
