Angel One opened up algo trading to its large retail base with SmartAPI — free, officially supported trading APIs covering equity, futures and options.

Deploy a validated strategy
Pick a strategy that has passed backtesting and paper trading, set position limits and a daily loss cap, and switch it live. Orders flow through the official API; funds stay in your own broker account.
SmartAPI plus INDfolio AI
SmartAPI gives programmatic access to order placement, positions, holdings and market data on Angel One. On its own it targets developers; INDfolio AI makes it usable by any trader — describe a strategy in plain English, validate it on years of NSE data with Indian cost modelling, paper trade it, then deploy it live through SmartAPI without touching a line of code.
Angel One’s scale is part of the appeal: one of India’s largest retail brokers, full-service research, and an API program that costs nothing to enable. For traders already on Angel One, automation requires no broker switch at all.
What you can automate on Angel One
Intraday and positional strategies across NSE equity, futures and options — including options systems with strike selection — plus TradingView and Chartink automation routed to your Angel One account with full risk controls.
