Kite Connect GTT API

From WebNotes, a public knowledge base. Last updated 20 May 2026. Reading time ~3 min.

Kite Connect GTT (Good-Till-Triggered) API lets you create GTT orders programmatically:

Endpoint	Method
Place GTT	POST /gtt/triggers
Modify GTT	PUT /gtt/triggers/:id
Cancel GTT	DELETE /gtt/triggers/:id
List GTTs	GET /gtt/triggers
Single GTT	GET /gtt/triggers/:id

GTT types

Single: One trigger price; one order placed when triggered.
OCO (One-Cancels-Other): Two trigger prices; whichever hits first cancels the other.

Python example

gtt_order = kite.place_gtt(
    trigger_type="single",
    tradingsymbol="RELIANCE",
    exchange="NSE",
    trigger_values=[2300],
    last_price=2400,
    orders=[{
        "transaction_type": "SELL",
        "quantity": 1,
        "product": "CNC",
        "order_type": "LIMIT",
        "price": 2300
    }]
)

Lifecycle

GTTs valid for ~1 year (or until executed).
On trigger, an order is placed into the regular order book.
Once triggered, GTT can’t be reversed.

Use cases

Stop-loss for delivery (CNC) holdings.
Long-term target sell.
Buy-on-dip orders.
Bracket-like behavior for delivery (OCO).
