Clarification Needed: WebSocket Implementation for Trading Platforms without Client Code

    Dear Angel One Team,

    I'm developing a trading platform that needs to integrate with Angel One's real-time data feed. After reviewing the WebSocket documentation (https://smartapi.angelbroking.com/docs/WebSocket2), I have some concerns about the implementation approach.

    The current documentation suggests that a client code is required for WebSocket connections. However, as a platform provider, I need to:

    1. Connect to real-time data feeds without individual client codes
    2. Serve multiple users through a single platform connection
    3. Maintain a scalable architecture for multiple concurrent users

    Questions:

    • Is there a separate API documentation for platform-level WebSocket integration?
    • Do you provide a different authentication mechanism for platforms vs individual traders?
    • What is the recommended approach for implementing real-time data feeds at a platform level?

    I would greatly appreciate any clarification on the proper implementation path for trading platforms.

    Thank you for your assistance.


  • @narenkram the APIs are meant for retail users only and not for platforms. So we do not have any such feature that you have asked for.
