Place Order​

API to place an order to the exchange. The instrument_token required for the stock or contracts should be obtained from the BOD instruments.

Upon successfully placing the order with the exchange, a unique order_id is provided in the success response, which can be utilized for order modification or cancellation. If you intend to place an order outside of market hours, the 'is_amo' (After Market Order) should be set to 'true'. You can assign a tag(unique identifier) to your order, allowing you to retrieve orders associated with that tag using the Order History API.
