Query Regarding Static IP and Real-Time Market Data

APIs, Automation, Algos & Code
1

Hi,

I have a couple of questions regarding the Dhan API:

  1. Do I need a static IP address to fetch the price change (%) data for all F&O stocks and NSE indices? I am not planning to place or execute any orders through the API; I only need market data.
  2. Does the Dhan API provide real-time/live market data? If so, is the data available on a per-second basis, or is it updated at a per-minute interval?

Thank you

Hi @Nick07 ,

No , A static IP is only needed for placing, modifying, or cancelling orders—not for market-data access. You need an active Dhan Data Plan and access token.

Dhan provides real-time data through WebSocket, delivered tick-by-tick (event-based), not at fixed one-minute intervals. REST quote calls are snapshots, limited to 1 request/second.
