LQCAP

Dear Sir,

While I am running my algo i am getting the below mentioned error.
" InputException: TOTP is mandatory to place orders on third-party apps. Learn how to set up TOTP for your account [here](https://support.zerodha.com/category/your-zerodha-account/login-credentials/login-credentials-of-trading-platforms/articles/time-based-otp-setup-mobile-only). "

Hi @LQCAP
If you want to place orders through Kite API, then you need to enable TOTP for your Zerodha account.
For TOTP setup refer this link

LQCAP

yes i have done but yet algo is running for 1-2 times but again showing the same error

LQCAP

same message of error is displayed

You need to delete the previous access token and generate a new access token by logging into API again.

am i doing something wrong. i am still seeing the error after generating the token

dir_path=os.path.normpath(os.getcwd() + os.sep + os.pardir)
dir_path2=os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
api_key=open(dir_path2 +"\\Access Details\\" +"api_key.txt","r").read()
access_token=open(dir_path2 +"\\Access Details\\" +"access_token.txt","r").read()
kite=KiteConnect(api_key=api_key)
kite.set_access_token(access_token)


def booksell_order():
kite.place_order(variety=kite.VARIETY_REGULAR,
exchange=kite.EXCHANGE_NSE,
tradingsymbol="ACC",
transaction_type=kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_SELL,
quantity=1,
product=kite.PRODUCT_MIS,
order_type=kite.ORDER_TYPE_MARKET)

booksell_order()

We tried reproducing at our end using the same param. With TOTP enabled, the order is going fine for all the further requests.
Make sure, you are using the same client id as added in the developer console.

It clearly says that you haven't enabled totp. Did you setup totp once and then disabled it??

nedlloyd

Yes, i had disabled it once but enabled it later before running the script , was trying to automate it using pyotp

SRIJAN

Once you enable totp again,you have to regenerate access token.
