Groww

Groww is an Indian fintech company offering investing and trading in stocks, futures & options, mutual funds, ETFs, IPOs and more through its consumer app and web platform. Backed by Iconiq Capital, Ribbit Capital and Y Combinator, Groww also operates the Groww Trading API — an official programmatic interface for algorithmic trading that covers order management (place/modify/cancel), portfolio holdings and positions, margin calculation, live market data (LTP, full quote, OHLC, option chain and greeks) and historical candle data across the CASH (equity) and FNO (derivatives) segments on Indian exchanges. Requests hit https://api.groww.in, are versioned with the X-API-VERSION header, and are authenticated with a daily Bearer access token generated via an API key + secret checksum, a TOTP flow, or an OAuth2 authorization-code flow.

Groww publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Authentication API, Historical Data API, Live Data API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Company, Fintech, Trading, Investing, and Stock Broking.

The Groww catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Groww’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, signup flow, support, engineering blog, and 26 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
Protected Resource Metadata +5 pts — a served /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource carrying `resource` (documented), and naming its authorization_servers (verified)
Agentic Commerce Well-Known Document +5 pts — a parsing /.well-known/ucp.json or acp.json declaring a version and at least one service — `self` when its endpoints are on the provider's own domain, `platform` when they are on a vendor's

3 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
India Stack (Account Aggregator, ONDC, UPI, DigiLocker, Aadhaar)	regulated	19.2 (thin)	-	1
India RBI / SEBI Registers (SEBI intermediaries, RBI NBFCs, payment aggregators, PPI issuers, AAs)	regulated	19.2 (thin)	-	1

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 3

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
