Pocketful

Pocketful

Pocketful is a SEBI-registered Indian stock broker offering a modern trading platform with support for multiple asset classes and a powerful API suite. With a focus on automation, speed, and flexibility, Pocketful provides developers and trading system builders direct access to its brokerage services through the developer portal.

For OpenAlgo integration, Pocketful enables algorithmic trading with secure API authentication, real-time data streaming, and efficient order placement across equities and derivatives.

App Registration and API Credentials

The integration begins with creating an app via the Pocketful Developer Portal. This app generates the required credentials for secure API access.

Step-by-Step Guide to Registering Your App

Step 1: Visit the Developer Portal Go to https://api.pocketful.in and log in with your registered email ID or client ID.

Step 2: Navigate to 'Apps' and Create a New App Click on “+ Create App”.

Step 3: Fill App Details

  • App Name: OpenAlgo

  • Redirect URL: http://127.0.0.1:5000/pocketful/callback

  • Accept the terms and conditions and click Create App

Once created, the following credentials will be generated:

  • App ID: use as API_KEY

  • App Secret: use as API_SECRET

API Authentication

Pocketful follows OAuth2-based authentication using redirect URI and access tokens. After app creation, OpenAlgo uses the client credentials to initiate authorization and securely fetch access tokens.

Here is a sample of how the details would appear in a .env file for reference:

Connecting Pocketful to OpenAlgo

Once your .env file is populated with the credentials, restart OpenAlgo, open the broker page and click Connect. OpenAlgo builds the authorization URL from your credentials and sends you to https://trade.pocketful.in/oauth2/auth.

After you sign in, Pocketful redirects back to http://127.0.0.1:5000/pocketful/callback with an authorization code, which OpenAlgo exchanges for an access token and stores locally. That completes the authentication process.

Integrating OpenAlgo with Pocketful's API allows traders and developers to leverage a powerful, cost-effective, and scalable infrastructure for building and deploying fully automated trading strategies. To ensure smooth performance, it is advisable to manage API limits, rotate tokens securely, and build retry/error-handling logic in production systems.

Supported Exchanges

OpenAlgo reads this plugin's exchange list from broker/pocketful/plugin.json and serves it to the app, so symbol search, the Strategy Builder and the tools pages only offer what the plugin actually handles.

  • Tradable: NSE, BSE, NFO, BFO, MCX

  • Index feeds: NSE_INDEX, BSE_INDEX
