Shoonya API, powered by Finvasia Securities Private Limited, gives developers and traders REST and WebSocket interfaces for Indian-market trading automation. It supports placing, modifying, cancelling and retrieving market, limit and stop orders, along with GTT order endpoints. Portfolio endpoints expose holdings, positions, margin, funds and order-book information. Live quotes, historical data, time series and option-chain data are also available. The product is aimed at retail algo traders, platform and vendor integrators, fintechs and quantitative desks, with company-size fit spanning solo users through enterprise teams.

The published plan lists one free tier, API access, for eligible users. Brokerage and statutory trading charges still apply when trades are placed. The feature set covers order workflows, portfolio retrieval and market-data access, while WebSocket streams deliver market feeds and order updates. OAuth 2.0 authorization is available for linked users, and official Python and .NET SDKs accompany REST documentation. UAT credentials are available by contacting Shoonya, so teams should account for that contact step when planning onboarding rather than expecting a self-service test environment.

Shoonya fits teams that want a cloud API focused on Indian trading, with documentation and SDKs for common integration paths. Two-factor authentication is part of the stated compliance posture, and support channels include email, chat, phone and docs. The API does not include webhook capability in its listed category features, which may matter for event-driven architectures that rely on outbound callbacks. Teams needing order execution, portfolio data, streaming feeds and OAuth in one free API should consider Shoonya; teams requiring broader event-delivery options or access outside eligible users should evaluate alternatives.
