After completing signup, you need to create required API or App from dashboard. After successful creation of apps, you'll receive API KEY & SECRET KEY which are required to access API.

Difference between Publisher APIs, Trading APIs and Market Feeds APIs

Publisher API: Publisher API generally used to embed HTML button to buy or sell particular stock from your custom web page / website.
For more info: https://smartapi.angelbroking.com/docs/Publisher

Trading APIs: Trading APIs are used to just place orders.

Market Feeds APIs: Market Feeds APIs are normally used to get live ticks (1 tick / sec) data for particular instrument or symbol.

@rajanprabu
ading to above i can say inodin there was data feed available as: toexcel.
this is same.
but additional features are you can legally place order thru algo.and get other data from angel server.like open position, trade book.
one has to pay extra to people like tradetron.
or you can get front end done by some one like streamlit, backtrader, open source python library.

its all about machine algo trading. fast and furious!!!

Backtrader is a great option. all indicators already built in it. Once just have to code test and deploy.
