Create an algorithmic trading program using the Zerodha API and Python

Here’s a basic example of how you can create an algorithmic trading program using the Zerodha API in Python:

from kiteconnect import KiteConnect
import logging

# Set up logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Initialize Zerodha API
kite = KiteConnect(api_key="your_api_key")

# Generate Zerodha login URL
login_url = kite.login_url()

# Print login URL
print("Login URL:", login_url)

# Get request token from user after logging in through the URL

# Set access token
access_token = "your_access_token"
kite.set_access_token(access_token)

# Fetch account balance
balance = kite.margins(segment="equity")
print("Account Balance:", balance)

Make sure to replace "your_api_key" and "your_access_token" with your actual API key and access token provided by Zerodha.

This example demonstrates how to initialize the Zerodha API, generate a login URL, set access token after authentication, and fetch the account balance using the API. Remember that real algorithmic trading strategies require careful development, testing, and risk management. Always ensure you fully understand the risks involved before implementing any trading strategy.
