Nubra Python SDK

The Nubra Python SDK is the official Python client for Nubra trading APIs. It gives Python developers a higher-level interface for authentication, market data, instruments, orders, and portfolio workflows without having to build low-level HTTP and session plumbing from scratch.

Use this page as the main entry point for installation, first-run setup, and the most common SDK workflows.

Start here

If you are new to Nubra APIs, follow this order:

  1. Install the SDK
  2. Complete Authentication
  3. Use Get Instruments
  4. Fetch Current Price or Market Quotes
  5. Move to Place Order when your integration is ready

Why Use The Python SDK

Use the Python SDK when you want:

  • a faster Python integration path
  • built-in client abstractions for trading and market data
  • a cleaner development workflow than raw HTTP requests
  • support for both testing and production environments

If you prefer direct HTTP control or a language-agnostic integration path, use the REST API documentation instead.

Before You Install

Before installing the SDK, make sure you have:

  • Python installed
  • a Nubra account with API access
  • your registered phone number and MPIN

Recommended:

  • Visual Studio Code with the Python extension

Install Python from python.org.

Verify your Python installation:

python --version

python3 --version

Installation

Watch the SDK installation walkthrough:

Install the SDK from PyPI:

python -m pip install nubra-sdk

If python points to Python 2 on your system, use:

python3 -m pip install nubra-sdk

Upgrade an existing installation:

python -m pip install --upgrade nubra-sdk

Environment choice

Use NubraEnv.UAT while testing and NubraEnv.PROD only when you are ready for production usage.

Quick Start

The usual SDK workflow is:

  1. Install nubra-sdk.
  2. Initialize the SDK client with the correct environment.
  3. Authenticate with OTP or TOTP and MPIN.
  4. Resolve instruments and ref_id values.
  5. Fetch market data or place trades.

Example:

from nubra_python_sdk.start_sdk import InitNubraSdk, NubraEnv
from nubra_python_sdk.refdata.instruments import InstrumentData
from nubra_python_sdk.marketdata.market_data import MarketData
from nubra_python_sdk.trading.trading_data import NubraTrader

# Use NubraEnv.UAT for testing and NubraEnv.PROD for live usage.
nubra = InitNubraSdk(NubraEnv.UAT, env_creds=True)

instruments = InstrumentData(nubra)
market_data = MarketData(nubra)
trader = NubraTrader(nubra, version="V2")

Common Next Steps

After installation, most users continue with these pages:

  1. Authentication
  2. Get Instruments
  3. Current Price
  4. Market Quotes
  5. Place Order
  6. Positions

SDK Areas

The SDK provides Python access to these main areas:

Market Data

  • Current price snapshots
  • Market quotes
  • Option chain snapshots
  • Historical OHLC data
Start with Current Price

Real-Time Data

  • Real-time quotes
  • Option Greeks stream
  • OHLCV stream
  • Order book stream
  • Index stream
Start with Realtime Data

Trading

  • Place orders
  • Modify and Cancel orders
  • F&O Strategies orders
  • Margin checks
  • Real-time order updates
Start with Trading Overview

Important Notes

Implementation details

  • The install package name is nubra-sdk, but the Python import root is nubra_python_sdk.
  • ref_id is a key identifier across quote, market-data, and trading workflows.
  • Use V2 for new integrations.
  • Validate instruments before placing orders.

If you maintain an older integration, review Release Notes.

Before building polling-heavy or streaming-heavy systems, review API Rate Limits.

SDK Or REST API

Choose the Python SDK if you want:

  • a faster onboarding path in Python
  • built-in SDK abstractions
  • a more convenient trading and market-data workflow in Python

Choose the REST APIs if you want:

  • direct HTTP control
  • language-agnostic integration
  • lower-level implementation flexibility
