Alice Blue ANT API
Alice Blue offers the ANT API suite used by many cost-conscious algo traders in India. AlgoCrab connects via ANT credentials for order routing and portfolio sync.
Obtain your app key and secret from the Alice Blue API portal after account activation.
Connection steps
In AlgoCrab, navigate to Connect Broker → Alice Blue. Enter app key, secret, and client ID as prompted.
Complete any OTP or session steps required by Alice Blue. Confirm connection via the broker panel funds display.
Deploy your first algo
Start with a simple moving-average crossover on a liquid NSE stock. Backtest, then deploy with strict daily loss limits.
Alice Blue's competitive brokerage makes it attractive for high-frequency intraday systems — but always account for slippage in backtests.
Multi-broker advantage
If you also trade on Zerodha or Dhan, AlgoCrab lets you manage all brokers from one dashboard — same strategy templates, different broker connections.
This saves time when migrating or splitting capital across brokers for margin or instrument access reasons.
