### 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](https://api.pocketful.in/).

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**

#### 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:

```env
BROKER_API_KEY = 'your_app_id_here'
BROKER_API_SECRET = 'your_app_secret_here'
REDIRECT_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/pocketful/callback'
```

***

#### Connecting Pocketful to OpenAlgo

Once your `.env` file is populated with the credentials, OpenAlgo can initiate the login flow. This can be triggered locally:

```
http://127.0.0.1:5000/pocketful/login
```

You will be redirected to Pocketful’s login screen. After successful login, the access token will be retrieved and stored locally, completing 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.
