I'm excited to announce that this year, we've taken a quantum leap by introducing our new & enhanced version, My API. The inception of our Trading API in late 2019 was a game-changer for retail traders because it empowered them with robust Trading APIs at zero costs! It enabled thousands of customers with trading access through an API instead of just our front-end applications & interface. Over the last 18 months, we've refined and updated our APIs to meet the evolving needs of systematic traders and the Algo community at large. With constant feedback, we've been able to make significant improvements in various aspects.

What are the charges for My API?
In the interest of reducing the overall cost of technology for systematic traders, we're happy to announce that My API is totally free! We don't levy any charges for the market data either (Real-time/historical). However, please note that access is restricted only to our clients as per the regulatory requirements. Hence, it is mandatory to open an account with FYERS to be able to access My API. If you don't yet have an account with us yet, click here.
Also, over a period of time, our community has grown. If you need any help or clarifications you can always interact with fellow API users in the FYERS Community. We hope this adds value to your trading activities.
All the best!
