Zerodha Static IP

Kite Connect static IP requirement

From WebNotes, a public knowledge base. Last updated . Reading time ~2 min.

Kite Connect does not require a static IP for standard retail / developer use. The API is accessible from any IP that’s authorised via the OAuth login flow.

When static IP matters

For specific use cases:

  • High-frequency institutional access: Some plans may require IP whitelisting for security.
  • Specific compliance scenarios: Particular SEBI / exchange requirements.
  • Custom enterprise setups: Negotiated configurations.

For retail / developer use, dynamic IPs work fine.

How authentication works

Authentication is via OAuth + access token, not IP-based. The same login can come from different IPs.
