Broker IPv6 support

Which broker APIs answer on IPv6

SEBI requires broker API access from a static IP you register with your broker. IPv6 addresses cost less than IPv4 ones, so the only question that matters is whether your broker's order endpoint can be reached over IPv6 at all. Here is what a DNS lookup said on 6 August 2026: 9 of 11 can.

How to read this

These are DNS lookups we ran ourselves on the date shown, not statements from the brokers. A broker can add or remove an AAAA record at any time without telling anyone, so re-check before you buy if it has been a while, or ask us and we will look it up with you.

The hostname column is the point. A broker is not IPv6-ready or not: one specific host has to answer, and it is the one your orders are sent to. Streaming and market-data hosts are listed separately where they differ, because those carry no orders, are not IP-restricted, and can leave from a shared address without breaking anything.

The three brokers you can run today

QuantGrid replicates across these three in any master and child combination. The address family you buy has to match what your broker's order endpoint accepts.

Zerodha

Orders reach an IPv6 endpoint. The order-update socket is IPv4 only, which is fine: the socket carries no orders and is not IP-restricted, so it leaves from the shared address.

FYERS

The only broker here that answers on IPv6 for both orders and streaming.

API v3api-t1.fyers.inYessocket.fyers.inYes
Angel One

IPv4 only, on both hosts. An Angel One account needs an IPv4 address.

Reference

Other Indian broker APIs

Published because the question comes up and the answer is a lookup anyone can repeat. QuantGrid does not integrate with these, and listing one here is not a claim that it will.

Kotak Securities

Lists elsewhere as api.kotaksecurities.com, which resolves to nothing at all. The Neo gateway host above is the one that answers, and it does so on IPv6.

ICICI Direct

Often listed as IPv6-ready on the strength of api.icicidirect.com, which is the retail site and not the API. The Breeze host that actually takes orders publishes no AAAA record.

What this means for you

Choosing between the two families

IPv6

₹588.82 per 30 days

The cheaper family, and the right choice when the table above says your broker’s order endpoint answers on it. Per broker account, like every address.

IPv4

₹942.82 per 30 days

Works with every broker on this page without exception. The safe default, and the only option for an Angel One or ICICI Direct account.

Not sure

Ask before you pay

If your broker is not listed, or the row is older than you are comfortable with, email support@quantgrid.in and we will run the lookup with you first.

One consequence worth spelling out, because it is easy to get wrong: an address bound to IPv6 cannot reach an IPv4-only destination. Brokers also cap how many IPs you may register per app, so holding both families as a safety net is generally not something your broker will let you do. Pick the family your broker’s order host answers on, and pick IPv4 when in doubt.

QuantGrid enforces this server-side rather than leaving it to you: an address family your broker cannot be reached on is not offered for that broker account in the first place.
