Endpoint Overview & Architecture

The Mainboard IPO Feed provides programmatic, institutional-grade access to all initial public offerings listed on the primary boards of the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Every record is synchronized directly with regulatory stock exchange circulars and Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) filings submitted to SEBI.

Unlike generic market scrapers that produce irregular data dumps, this endpoint delivers standardized payloads containing corporate identifiers, exchange ticker symbols, floor and cap price bands, lot size minimums, total issue sizes in Indian Rupees (INR Crores), and milestone timeline dates (bidding open, bidding close, basis of allotment finalization, refund dispatch, demat credit, and exchange listing).

This endpoint is designed for financial portals, mobile trading applications, algorithmic IPO tracking systems, and wealth management dashboards that require reliable, low-latency market schedules without manual data entry.
