Can I automate my trading using Zerodha API?

Yes, you can automate trading using Zerodha API. However, if it involves full automation, you need to obtain exchange approvals to that effect.

Zerodha APIs are generally not meant for end-to-end automated trading without any manual intervention. These are pre-approved exchange APIs built on Kite that can assist automate/ease some of the features at your convenience. However, if you are an expert in programming, you can fully automate trading using Zerodha API through third-party software like Amibroker, Tradetron and apply for exchange approvals for the algos built.
