Analytics Token
The Analytics Token is a long-lived access token (1-year validity) that provides read-only access to a defined set of Upstox APIs. Unlike the standard OAuth token flow, no authorization redirect is required — you generate it directly from the Developer Apps page. Because it is strictly read-only, the Analytics Token cannot be used for order placement, order modification, or any other trading operations.
Token Limitations and Restrictions
- The Analytics Token does not support trading operations or account data access. Actions such as placing or modifying orders, and retrieving positions, holdings, funds, profile, or trade details are not permitted with this token
- Each token has an expiry period of 1 year from the date of generation.
- Only one Analytics Token is permitted per account at a time.
- Do not share this token with anyone. Treat it as a sensitive credential and store it in a secure location.
