How do I get IIFL API keys for Stage2Stocks?

Sign in to the IIFL developer portal at developers.iiflcapital.com/developer, open Create App, fill the form (any app name, paste the Stage2Stocks redirect URL exactly, IPv4, Non-Registered algo type), then copy the App Key and App Secret Key into Stage2Stocks Settings > Broker.

What redirect URL do I use when creating the IIFL app?

Paste the exact Stage2Stocks redirect URL shown on the Connect IIFL page into the IIFL Create App form's Redirect URL field — it must match character for character.

Do I need a static IP to use IIFL live data with Stage2Stocks?

No, a regular dynamic IP is fine. The Primary Static IP field just needs your own current public IP, which Stage2Stocks detects and shows you on the Connect IIFL page. IIFL only requires it to be unique per user, so don't reuse another person's IP. SEBI's static-IP requirement applies only to placing orders, not live market data.

How long does it take to connect IIFL?

About two minutes. You create one free app in the IIFL developer portal, copy two keys (App Key and App Secret), and paste them into Stage2Stocks Settings > Broker.

The live desk uses your own IIFL account for real-time data. You create a free app in IIFL's developer portal, then paste its two keys into your Stage2Stocks settings. Takes about two minutes.

What you'll need

An active IIFL Capital account (the same login you trade with) and about two minutes. Everything happens in IIFL's developer portal — Stage2Stocks only receives the two app keys you copy at the end, never your IIFL password.

Four steps

Open the IIFL developer portal

Go to developers.iiflcapital.com/developer and sign in with your IIFL account. Open Create App.

Fill the Create App form

App Nameanything — e.g. stage2stocks
Redirect URLpaste the URL below, exactly
Upload App Iconoptional — skip it
IP TypeIPv4
Primary Static IPuse your own public IP — we detect it for you below. IIFL needs it to be unique per user, so a shared IP is rejected. (A regular dynamic IP is fine; SEBI's static-IP rule is for placing orders only.)
Algo Registration TypeNon-Registered (<10 OPS)

Redirect URL — copy exactly

Your public IP — paste this

Detecting your IP...

IIFL needs this to be unique to you — use your own IP above, not a shared one.

Then click Create App.

Copy your two keys

Your new app appears under Your Applications with status Active. Copy the App Key and the App Secret Key using the copy icon beside each.

Paste them into Stage2Stocks

Go to Settings → Broker, choose IIFL Capital, paste both keys, and save. The live desk reads your market data immediately.

Your credentials stay yours

Your keys are encrypted at rest and never shared. Login and 2FA always happen on IIFL's own site, so Stage2Stocks never sees your IIFL password — and it only reads market data, it never places trades.

Common questions

Question

Do I need a static IP for live data?

Answer

No — a regular dynamic IP is fine. The form just needs your own current public IP, which we detect and show you on this page to copy. IIFL only requires it to be unique per user, so don't reuse someone else's — that triggers a “Primary IP is already registered” error. SEBI's static-IP rule applies to placing orders, not live data.

Question

Does connecting IIFL let Stage2Stocks place trades?

Answer

No. The connection is read-only: Stage2Stocks uses your IIFL app to pull real-time market data and never places orders. That is why the recommended Algo Registration Type is Non-Registered (<10 OPS).

Question

Will Stage2Stocks ever see my IIFL password?

Answer

Never. Login and 2FA happen entirely on IIFL's own site. We only store the two app keys, encrypted at rest.

Question

What do I pick for Algo Registration Type?

Answer

Choose Non-Registered (<10 OPS). The desk stays well under that order-per-second ceiling.

Question

What if my app shows as inactive?

Answer

Refresh the Your Applications list — new apps activate immediately. If it persists, delete and recreate the app, making sure the Redirect URL matches exactly.
