Subscription, trading cost and permissions
An API subscription buys connectivity or data access. Brokerage, exchange charges, taxes, account fees and any ISP/cloud/static-IP costs are separate. A free API does not mean a free trade. A market-data entitlement does not establish permission to redistribute that data.
NSE’s retail-algo standards distinguish ordinary API order access from exchange-registered strategies exceeding the 10 orders/second threshold. Orders below the threshold still require the exchange’s generic identifier and broker controls. Registration is through the broker to the relevant exchange; it is not an investment approval or a return guarantee.
The framework applies fully from 1 April 2026. Registered static IPs, two-factor authentication and daily session logout requirements coexist with broker-specific endpoint quotas. Do not confuse a data-request limit with an order allowance. Confirm the current setup directly with Fyers.
