What you'll need
An active IIFL Capital account and about two minutes. Everything happens in IIFL Capital's portal — Stage2Stocks only receives the keys you copy at the end, never your password.
4 steps
01
Open the IIFL developer portal
Sign in at developers.iiflcapital.com/developer and open Create App.
02
Fill the Create App form
App Name = anything; Redirect URL = https://www.stage2stocks.com/api/live/iifl/callback (copy exactly); IP Type = IPv4 and Primary Static IP = your own public IP (we detect it for you); Algo Registration Type = Non-Registered (<10 OPS). Create App.
03
Copy your two keys
From Your Applications, copy the App Key and the App Secret Key.
04
Paste them into Stage2Stocks
Settings → Broker → choose IIFL Capital, paste both keys, save.
Redirect URL — paste into the broker app
https://www.stage2stocks.com/api/live/iifl/callbackYour public IP — paste this
Detecting your IP...IIFL needs this to be unique to you — use your own IP above, not a shared one.
Where the keys go
Open Settings → Broker, choose IIFL Capital, paste your App Key + App Secret, and save. Then open the Live Desk and click Authenticate.

Login + 2FA happen on IIFL's own site; we never see your password.
Answer
Handled automatically — nothing extra for you to do.
Question
Does this place trades?
Answer
No. The connection is read-only — it pulls real-time market data and never places orders.
Question
Is it safe to add my keys?
Answer
Your keys are encrypted at rest and never shared. Login and 2FA always happen on IIFL Capital's own site, so Stage2Stocks never sees your broker password.
