Invalid Token for Historical API

xaqpex

Hello,

Trying to get the historical data for an instrument throws an Invalid Token Exception.

data_from = date.today() + timedelta(days=-100)
data_to = date.today() + timedelta(days=-1)

data = kite.historical_data(data_from, data_to, 3535361, "day", True, False)

The error returned is kiteconnect.exceptions.InputException: invalid token

I subscribed for the historical data AFTER subscribing to the API

I had already created request & access tokens for the day before subscribing to the Historical API

I have tried logging out and logging back in but this does not change it.

I suspect that the access tokens for the day which are saved in Zerodha's database might have some permissions associated to it at the time of saving them.
So logging out and logging back is not useful as the access token is not changing.

I am losing a day of subscription as I cannot proceed.

Please advise.

Regards,
Warren

Can you run pykiteconnect in debug mode and paste the complete stack trace here?
Make sure to remove app and client specific tokens.

As I am new to kiteconnect, can you please explain what you mean by
run pykiteconnect in debug mode

Can you share the script line or an example or a link to someone else having the issue which has some code sample.

I commented out
data = kite.historical_data(data_from, data_to, 3535361, "day", True, False)

and added
stock = kite.quote('NSE:POWERGRID')

It is working fine with this one line replacement.

Going back to the historical line throws the exception
kiteconnect.exceptions.InputException: invalid token

You can initialize kiteconnect with debug flag true. You can check out the documentation here.

I have updated it to
kite = KiteConnect(api_key, access_token, None, True)

I am still getting the below error

Is this what was needed? Please advise as I am not able to move forward with this.

It looks like you are not send a valid instrument token.
You can check out the pykiteconnect documentation, it looks like your order of params is wrong.

xaqpex

Please amend the exception message, there is request token, access token and instrument token.
It would be helpful to have known this earlier.
