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 (IPv4) and a Copy IP button. This broker needs no redirect URL.

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.

Your IP for is an IPv4 address. It looks like four numbers with dots — for example 151.242.10.20.
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 — Create a new key

#

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

Open the menu on the left, go to Developer → API Key, and click + Create New Key.

Enter a Key Name (for example Trade Apps) and a short Description, then click Create.

The Key Generation page with the Create New Key box open: Key Name, Description, and Cancel and Create buttons. — Grey boxes hide private details such as keys, IPs and names.

Step 3 — Add your static IP

#

On the same page, click + Add Static IP. Paste your Trade Apps IP in Primary IP (your IP is IPv4), leave Secondary IP empty, and click Submit.

The Edit Static IP box with Primary IP and Secondary IP (optional), a note that changing the IP clears the current API session, and Cancel and Submit buttons. — Grey boxes hide private details such as keys, IPs and names.

Step 4 — Copy the API Key and Vendor Code

#

Your key is now listed under API Key Details with its API Key, Vendor Code, expiry date and IPs. Copy the API Key and the Vendor Code with the copy icons.

API Key Details for a key: API Key and Vendor Code with copy icons, the Expiry date, and the Primary IP and Secondary IP. — 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 user ID.
API Key — the API Key from .
API Secret — the Vendor Code 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. has no login page; a small box asks for your trading password and today’s TOTP. We use them once to start the session and never store them.

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 IPv4 box. After changing it, wait 2 minutes, then press Connect again.
Key and secret swapped, or a space copied with them. Paste each one again into the right box.
Vendor code in the wrong box. The Vendor Code goes in the API Secret box.
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.
