broker API Integration | Bluechip Algos Documentation

What you need before you start?

This page connects your account to Trade Apps, from start to finish. It takes about 10 minutes the first time. After that, you only press Connect once each trading day.

You will move between two websites: Trade Apps (our platform) and web platform. Keep both open in two browser tabs.

Your trading account, active, and your login details for it.
Your Trade Apps login, with this broker account already showing under Settings → Brokers Connected. If it is not there, WhatsApp support at 9398840360 — accounts are added by our team.
A laptop or desktop is easier than a phone for the broker portal.

Step 1 — Get your static IP in Trade Apps

#

Brokers accept API orders only from an address you have approved, called a static IP. Trade Apps gives you one with your subscription. Free-trial accounts get none, because Forward Testing does not need it.

Open Settings. Under Brokers Connected, find your account and click the small pencil (Edit) button on its right.

In the form that opens, the Static IP box says Not assigned yet. Click the Get static IP link under it. A box appears with Your static IP (IPv6) and a Copy IP button. Under it is the Redirect URL with a Copy redirect URL button. You need both in the next step.

Copy the IP now (and the redirect URL, if shown) and keep this tab open. If the form already shows a static IP, there is no button — copy the IP from the Static IP box, and the redirect URL from the Redirect URL box in the same form.

Your IP for is an IPv6 address. It is long, with colons — for example 2402:1f00:8300:… Copy the whole thing.
Paste only the IP. Never add a port number, and never use your home Wi-Fi or mobile IP.

The account edit form in Settings for a new account: Broker Type, Client ID, Static IP showing Not assigned yet with the Get static IP link under it, the empty API detail boxes, and Save Credentials. — A new account: no static IP yet, so the **Get static IP** link shows under the box. Your own form shows your own client ID.

Step 2 — Open the API page

#

Open the web platform in a new tab and log in with your login details.

Click your profile (the round letter at the top right), then Trading and Data APIs.

Click Generate Access Token / API Key, and make sure the switch on the right is on API Key (not Access Token).

The broker API page: the Generate Access Token / API Key button, the switch set to API Key, a list of existing apps, Generate new API Key, and Static IP Setting at the bottom. — Grey boxes hide private details such as keys, IPs and names.

Step 3 — Create the key and add your IP

#

Click + Generate new API Key. Fill Application Name (any name, for example Trade Apps) and Redirect URL (paste the one from Trade Apps). Leave Postback URL empty. Click Generate API Key.

On the same page, open Static IP Setting (click Add IP Setting). Paste your Trade Apps IP in IP Address 1 and save.

The same page with Generate new API Key open — Application Name, Redirect URL and Postback URL boxes and a Generate API Key button — and Static IP Setting open below with IP Address 1 and IP Address 2. — Grey boxes hide private details such as keys, IPs and names.

Step 4 — Copy the API Key and API Secret

#

Your new app now appears in the list with its API Key and API Secret. Copy both with the copy icons.

The API list with each application’s API Key and API Secret, each with a copy icon, and an Active status. — Copy these two. Grey boxes hide private details such as keys, IPs and names.

Paste the details in Trade Apps

#

Go back to the Trade Apps tab. Open Settings, click the pencil on your account again, and fill in:

Client ID — your client ID.
API Key — the API Key from .
API Secret — the API Secret from .
Click Save Credentials.

The same edit form in Settings, with only the boxes for the API details outlined. — Paste into the outlined boxes, then click **Save Credentials**.

Connect and check it worked

#

Under Brokers Connected, click Connect. opens its own page where you approve access; you come back to Trade Apps by yourself. A session lasts about 24 hours.

When it worked, your account in Brokers Connected shows a green dot and the words Session active (broker validated). You are ready to trade.

Broker sessions end every night. Each trading day, open Settings and press Connect once before the market opens. You do not repeat the setup.

The account under Brokers Connected after setup: a green dot, the client ID, the static IP and the words Session active (broker validated), with the edit, refresh and Disconnect buttons. — Green dot and **Session active** — the setup is done.

If it does not work

#

Check these in order. Most failures are one of the first three.

Wrong IP or IP saved in the wrong box. In the web platform, the IP must be exactly the one Trade Apps shows, in the IPv6 box. After changing it, wait 2 minutes, then press Connect again.
Redirect URL has a typo or extra space. Copy it again with the Copy redirect URL button and paste it fresh.
Key and secret swapped, or a space copied with them. Paste each one again into the right box.
Switch on Access Token instead of API Key. An access token does not work here. Create an API key with the switch on API Key.
Still stuck? WhatsApp 9398840360 with a screenshot of the error and the time. Never send your password, OTP, TOTP secret or API secret — we never need them.
