The Official Python library for communicating with the Alice Blue APIs.
Alice Blue Python library provides an easy to use wrapper over the HTTPS APIs.
The HTTP calls have been converted to methods and JSON responses are wrapped into Python-compatible objects.
Websocket connections are handled automatically within the library.

This module is installed via pip:
pip install alice_blue
To force upgrade existing installations:
pip uninstall alice_blue
pip --no-cache-dir install --upgrade alice_blue
There is only one class in the whole library: AliceBlue
. The login_and_get_sessionID()
static method is used to retrieve session ID from alice blue server. A session ID is valid for 24 hours.
With session ID, you can instantiate an AliceBlue object. Ideally you only need to create a session ID once every day. Once the session ID is created new, it'll be stored in a temporary location. Next time, the same session ID will be used.
The original REST API documentation is available here.
The whole library is equipped with python's logging
module for debugging. If more debug information is needed, enable logging using the following code.
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
api_secret is unique for each and every account. You need to enable api trading and get api_secret from alice blue.
- Login to developer console.
- Click on 'Create New App'.
- Enter 'App Name' as you like. Enter 'Redirect URL' and 'Post Back URL' as
https://ant.aliceblueonline.com/plugin/callback
. - Click on 'Save'.
- Copy the 'App Code' and 'App Secret'. You will need these to generate a session ID.
- Import alice_blue
from alice_blue import *
- Create
session_id
usinglogin_and_get_sessionID()
function with yourusername
,password
,2FA (2fa is now year of birth)
,app_id
andapi_secret
.
session_id = AliceBlue.login_and_get_sessionID( username = "username",
password = "password",
twoFA = "1993",
app_id = "app_id",
api_secret = "api_secret")
If you are facing problem getting access token, make sure the following are correct.
- username.
- password.
- 2FA.
- api secret.
- app id.
Even after verifying all these, if you are facing problem, contact alice customer care. They should enable the API access in their end. Don't create a new issue in this library for OAuth Error.
Once you have your session_id
, you can create an AliceBlue object with your session_id
and username
.
alice = AliceBlue(username = "username", session_id = session_id)
You can run these commands to check your newly created alice blue object.
Code:
print(alice.get_balance()) # get balance / margin limits

Getting master contracts allow you to search for instruments by symbol name and place orders.
Master contracts are stored as an OrderedDict by token number and by symbol name in a local file. Whenever you get a trade update, order update, or quote update, the library will check if master contracts are loaded. If they are, it will attach the instrument object directly to the update. By default all master contracts of all enabled exchanges in your personal profile will be downloaded. i.e. If your profile contains the following as enabled exchanges ['NSE', 'BSE', 'MCX', NFO']
all contract notes of all exchanges will be downloaded by default. If you feel it takes too much time to download all exchange, or if you don't need all exchanges to be downloaded, you can specify which exchange to download contract notes while creating the AliceBlue object. Master contracts once downloaded is stored in temp location and reused the subsequent times. Master contracts are downloaded newly once a day (because new master contracts are updated everyday around 8:00am).
Code
alice = AliceBlue(username = "username", session_id = session_id, master_contracts_to_download=['NSE', 'BSE'])
This will reduce a few seconds in object creation time of AliceBlue object.
Get Scrip info from alice server (this is different from instrument object).

Instruments are represented by instrument objects. These are named-tuples that are created while getting the master contracts. They are used when placing an order and subscribing to a symbol. The structure of an instrument tuple is as follows:
Instrument = namedtuple('Instrument', ['exchange', 'token', 'symbol',
'name', 'expiry', 'lot_size'])
All instruments have the fields mentioned above. Wherever a field is not applicable for an instrument (for example, equity instruments don't have strike prices), that value will be None
.
Symbols can be retrieved in multiple ways. Once you have the master contract loaded for an exchange, you can get an instrument in many ways.

Search for multiple instruments by matching the name. This works case insensitive and returns all instrument which has the name in its symbol. Code
all_sensex_scrips = alice.search_instruments('BSE', 'sEnSeX')
print(all_sensex_scrips)
The above code results multiple symbol which has 'sensex' in its symbol. Sample response
[Instrument(exchange='BSE', token=532985, symbol='KTKSENSEX', name='KOTAK MAHINDRA MUTUAL FUND', expiry=None, lot_size='1'), Instrument(exchange='BSE', token=535276, symbol='SBISENSEX', name='SBI MUTUAL FUND - SBI ETF SENS', expiry=None, lot_size='1'), Instrument(exchange='BSE', token=538683, symbol='SENSEXBEES', name='NIPPON INDIA ETF SENSEX', expiry=None, lot_size='1'), Instrument(exchange='BSE', token=540154, symbol='IDFSENSEXE', name='IDFC Mutual Fund', expiry=None, lot_size='1'), Instrument(exchange='BSE', token=199040, symbol='SENSEXBINAV', name='INAV NIPPO INDIA ETF SENSE', expiry=None, lot_size='1')]

Once you have master contracts loaded & a tradable instrument, you can easily subscribe to market feedd/depth data.
You can subscribe any one type of live data for a given scrip. Using the LiveFeedType
enum, you can specify what type of live feed you need.
LiveFeedType.TICK_DATA
LiveFeedType.DEPTH_DATA
Please refer to the original documentation here for more details of different types of live feeds.

Order properties such as TransactionType, OrderType, and others have been safely classified as enums so you don't have to write them out as strings.
Transaction types indicate whether you want to buy or sell. Valid transaction types are of the following:
TransactionType.Buy
- buyTransactionType.Sell
- sell
Order type specifies the type of order you want to send. Valid order types include:
OrderType.Market
- Place the order with a market priceOrderType.Limit
- Place the order with a limit price (limit price parameter is mandatory)OrderType.StopLossLimit
- Place as a stop loss limit orderOrderType.StopLossMarket
- Place as a stop loss market orderOrderType.BracketOrder
- Place as a bracket orderOrderType.AfterMarketOrder
- Place as a after market order
Product types indicate the complexity of the order you want to place. Valid product types are:
ProductType.Intraday
- Intraday order that will get squared off before market closeProductType.Delivery
- Delivery order that will be held with you after market close
Here is an example moving average strategy using alice blue API. This strategy generates a buy signal when 5-EMA > 20-EMA (golden cross) or a sell signal when 5-EMA < 20-EMA (death cross).
Alice Blue now supports downloading historical data for back testing.
- Historical data API will be available from 5:30 PM (evening) to 8 AM (Next day morning) on weekdays (Monday to Friday). Historical data will not be available during market hours
- Historical data API will be available fully during weekends and holidays.
- For NSE segment, 2 years of historical data will be provided.
- For NFO, CDS and MCX segments, current expiry data will be provided.

is:issue
as filter and search your problem. - If you feel your problem is not asked by anyone or no issues are related to your problem, then create a new issue.
- Describe your problem in detail while creating the issue. If you don't have time to detail/describe the problem you are facing, assume that I also won't be having time to respond to your problem.
- Post a sample code of the problem you are facing. If I copy paste the code directly from issue, I should be able to reproduce the problem you are facing.
- Before posting the sample code, test your sample code yourself once. Only sample code should be tested, no other addition should be there while you are testing.
- Have some print() function calls to display the values of some variables related to your problem.
- Post the results of print() functions also in the issue.
- Use the insert code feature of github to inset code and print outputs, so that the code is displayed neat.
- If you have multiple lines of code, use triple grave accent ( ``` ) to insert multiple lines of code. Example:
- Here is an example of what I'm expecting while you are creating an issue.
