This library is just a wrapper built around the Upstox API.

It supports all methods of Upstox API and wraps all the raw HTTP calls as simple functions. All JSON responses are parsed in the background and user is provided with data that's ready to use for analysis.

Getting streaming quotes is made easy with this library and all heavy load WebSocket processing are done in the background. The user is provided with just live quotes.

Dependencies
Newtonsoft.Json
Websocket4Net.Json

This library is COM enabled, so you can directly call this library from external applications like Excel etc.

Main Features

• Inbuilt Webbrowser Control for login flow
• Supports RTD Server to get live quotes in Excel
• Separate Methods to Place Orders in Simple, OCO & CO
• Automatic reconnection of WebSocket in case of network failure
• Update Events to get notified on Live Quotes, Orders, Positions and Trades

Login Flow
Users have the option to choose either the inbuilt web browser control or can login in their own browser.

Steps:

• Call Login method to get access code
• Call GetAccessToken method to get access token
• Call GetMasterContract method to download symbols.

Once the symbol is downloaded, you can all other methods.

Note: Symbol download is mandatory

You can check the symbol download status from the symbol_download_status property.
The first login of the day will take little bit time as the symbols are downloaded from the Upstox server.
Every subsequent login will be fast since the symbols have already loaded.

The symbol download is mandatory, because this library validates your request (like place order etc) for invalid details and throws exceptions if any. You can catch the exception and will be useful to debug your code quickly. So only valid requests are processed and sent to the server.

How to install
To use with Excel
Just download the EXE file from above and extract it to any folder. It will automatically install the required libraries to get you started.

To use with Visual Studio
Just download the Zip file from the link above and extract it to bin or debug folder of your project.
Add reference to UpstoxNet.dll.

Sample Excel Sheet
A sample Excel sheet in the ZIP file which uses the UpstoxNet.dll is included in the ZIP file.
The entire trading platform functionality has been brought inside Excel. All method/functions have been wrapped in as User Defined Functions. The user can call this function directly from within the cell. The user can use this excel sheet as a base to make her/his own strategies.
