Mandatory WebSocket Authentication from 30 September 2026

API UpdateDeadline Extended to 7 October 20261st October, 2026|10:00 AM IST

Update on 27 September 2026:

As part of a security enhancement, we are strengthening authentication for WebSocket connections. From 30 September 2026, all WebSocket connections will require a valid access token. Connections with an invalid or expired access token will be rejected.

The following requirements apply:

  • Official FYERS SDK: No action is required if you are already passing a valid access token.
  • Modified SDK or custom implementation: Ensure WebSocket authentication follows the official FYERS SDK.
  • Access token format: Pass the token as app_id:access_token, as shown in the API documentation.

Please complete any required changes before 30 September 2026 to avoid disruption to WebSocket connections.

For authentication instructions and sample code, refer to the FYERS API documentation.

Update on 1 October 2026:

The deadline for mandatory WebSocket authentication has been extended from 30 September 2026 to 7 October 2026, giving users additional time to complete the required changes.

From 7 October 2026, connections with an invalid or expired access token will be rejected. Please complete any required changes before 7 October 2026 to avoid disruption. No action is required if you are already passing a valid access token through the official FYERS SDK.
