Broker IPv6 support

Which broker APIs answer on IPv6

SEBI requires broker API access from a static IP you register with your broker. IPv6 addresses cost less than IPv4 ones and do the same job, so QuantGrid issues IPv6 wherever your broker's order endpoint can be reached over it and IPv4 only where it cannot. You are not asked to choose; this page is the evidence behind the choice. Here is what a DNS lookup said on 22 August 2026: 9 of 17 answer on IPv6.

How to read this

These are DNS lookups we ran ourselves on the date shown, not statements from the brokers. A broker can add or remove an AAAA record at any time without telling anyone, so re-check before you buy if it has been a while, or ask us and we will look it up with you.

The hostname column is the point. A broker is not IPv6-ready or not: one specific host has to answer, and it is the one your orders are sent to. Streaming and market-data hosts are listed separately where they differ, because those carry no orders, are not IP-restricted, and can leave from a shared address without breaking anything.

Supported by QuantGrid

The twelve brokers you can run today

QuantGrid replicates across all twelve in any parent and child combination, except that ICICI Direct accounts can only be children. The address family you buy has to match what your broker's order endpoint accepts.

BrokerAPIOrder endpointIPv6 for ordersStreaming endpointIPv6 for streaming
Zerodha

Orders reach an IPv6 endpoint. The order-update socket is IPv4 only, which is fine: the socket carries no orders and is not IP-restricted, so it leaves from the shared address.

Kite Connect v3api.kite.tradeYesws.kite.tradeNo
FYERS

Answers on IPv6 for both orders and streaming.

Angel One

IPv4 only, on both hosts. An Angel One account needs an IPv4 address.

Upstox

Orders reach an IPv6 endpoint, so an Upstox account is issued an IPv6 address. Upstox checks the address every order arrives from, so it has to be added to your Upstox app before anything can be placed.

Dhan

Everything Dhan publishes answers over IPv6, and it states in its own documentation that the static-IP whitelist takes an IPv6 address as well as an IPv4 one. Confirmed by connecting rather than by a DNS lookup: api.dhan.co answered DH-901 over a v6 socket on 22 August 2026. Note the whitelist applies to placing, changing and cancelling orders only; reading your order book is exempt.

DhanHQ v2api.dhan.coYesapi-order-update.dhan.coYes
Kotak

IPv4 for now. Every Kotak host answers over IPv6 (the login endpoint answered over a v6 socket on 23 August 2026), but Kotak's own static IP page, last read on 1 November 2026, says IPv4 is currently supported and that IPv6 platform support will be available soon, and QuantGrid has not yet seen a Kotak account register an IPv6 address in the Neo console. Until that has been shown to work, a Kotak account is issued an IPv4 address. Note Kotak lists elsewhere as api.kotaksecurities.com, which resolves to nothing at all; the Neo gateway host named here is the one that answers. Two things are particular to Kotak: it ties each session to the address that created it, so after you change the registered address QuantGrid has to sign in again before orders are accepted, and the address can only be changed once every seven days.

Groww

Orders reach an IPv6 endpoint, so a Groww account is issued an IPv6 address to register in Groww's static IP setting. Groww's live feed host, socket-api.groww.in, also published an IPv6 (AAAA) record when we checked it on 24 October 2026.

Motilal Oswal

IPv4 only. A Motilal Oswal account needs an IPv4 address, and Motilal additionally checks the address each order arrives from.

OpenAPIopenapi.motilaloswal.comNoNot listed—
Tradejini

IPv4 only, and the plainest case here: api.tradejini.com publishes no IPv6 address at all, so there is nothing for an IPv6 address to connect to. A Tradejini account needs an IPv4 address. Checked on 27 August 2026.

CubePlus API v2api.tradejini.comNoNot listed—
IIFL

Orders reach an IPv6 endpoint, so either address family works. Confirmed by connecting rather than by a DNS lookup: api.iiflcapital.com answered over a real IPv6 socket with IIFL's own response on 4 September 2026. Note its market-data host publishes no IPv6 address, which does not matter here because QuantGrid reads IIFL by polling rather than over that feed.

IIFL Markets Trading APIapi.iiflcapital.comYesNot listed—
Nuvama Wealth

IPv4 only, and for an unusual reason: Nuvama's order endpoint does answer over IPv6, but their console will not accept an IPv6 address in the registered-IP form, and Nuvama checks the address every request arrives from. An address you cannot register cannot place an order, whichever way it resolves. Confirmed with a live account on 22 August 2026.

API Connectnc.nuvamawealth.comNoNot listed—
ICICI Direct

Orders reach an IPv6 endpoint. The separate feed host is IPv4 only, which does not matter: no order goes to it. ICICI requires the address orders arrive from to be registered with them, so register the IPv6 address QuantGrid issues for the account.

Reference

Other Indian broker APIs

Published because the question comes up and the answer is a lookup anyone can repeat. QuantGrid runs none of these in production today. Alice Blue, Zebu, 5paisa, HDFC Securities and Sahi are in development and not yet proven on a live account, and listing any other here is not a claim that it will be supported.

5paisa

Orders reach an IPv6 endpoint. Confirmed by connecting rather than by a DNS lookup: openapi.5paisa.com, which takes 5paisa's orders and its sign-in, answered over a real IPv6 socket with 5paisa's own response on 11 October 2026. 5paisa's app form accepts an IPv6 address, but only written out in full, all eight groups, rather than shortened with ::.

Alice Blue

Orders reach an IPv6 endpoint, and Alice Blue's developer portal has fields for two IPv6 addresses on each app. Confirmed by connecting rather than by a DNS lookup: a3.aliceblueonline.com answered over a real IPv6 socket with Alice Blue's own response on 11 October 2026. Its market-data host, ws1.aliceblueonline.com, publishes no IPv6 address, which does not matter for orders: no order goes to it.

What this means for you

Choosing between the two families

IPv6

₹590 per 30 days

The cheaper family, and what your account is issued whenever the table above says your broker’s order endpoint answers on it. Per broker account, like every address.

IPv4

₹708 per 30 days

Issued only where the broker cannot take an IPv6 address, which today means Angel One, Kotak, Motilal Oswal, Tradejini and Nuvama Wealth accounts. Every other account gets IPv6 at the lower price.

Not listed

Ask about your broker

If your broker is not listed, or the row is older than you are comfortable with, email support@quantgrid.in and we will run the lookup with you first.

One consequence worth spelling out, because it is what the whole table is for: an address bound to IPv6 cannot reach an IPv4-only destination. Brokers also cap how many IPs you may register per app, so holding both families as a safety net is generally not something your broker will let you do.

QuantGrid decides this for you rather than leaving it to a dropdown. Each broker account is issued the one family its broker’s order API accepts, IPv6 wherever that is possible, and the other family is not offered for that account at all. That is enforced on the server, so there is no way to buy an address your broker cannot use, and no way to pay the IPv4 price for an account that would have worked on IPv6.
