Using virtual tokens (leprechauns) for testing

Test (Virtual broker) mode

smallcase Gateway has a test mode where the actual broker login is bypassed and you can still test most aspects of your integration.

Instead of having to use actual login credentials for each broker, you can use virtual tokens (leprechauns) provided by the smallcase Gateway team.

Each leprechaun token has virtual funds for placing orders. You can consider each token as a separate broker account, and use them as if they were real accounts.

Notes:

  1. Leprechaun mode does not work with Dhan, Fisdom, Groww and Motilal Oswal.
  2. Same leprechaun token can be used independently with different leprechaun brokers.
  3. Market timings for leprechaun mode is internally controlled by smallcase team. They do not follow actual market timings.

  2. press SHIFT + L
  3. Select a broker
