Kill Switch Status

API to fetch the current Kill Switch status and segment status for all trading segments associated with the user's account. The segment status represents the account-level state of the segment and is independent of the Kill Switch. While toggling the Kill Switch restricts trading activity as a risk management feature to help traders avoid impulsive decisions, it does not change the segment's underlying ACTIVE or INACTIVE designation.

Request

curl --location 'https://api.upstox.com/v2/user/kill-switch' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {your_access_token}'
