Step by Step to login via App to the API Zerodha Account

jyothish

Hi, I am trying the first steps of logging into the Zerodha account using API KITE CONNECT. Is there a detailed step by step process ?

The following are my step so far:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KiteConnect kiteSdk = new KiteConnect("eya65voe10jorwzx");
kiteSdk.setUserId("ZX2596");
String url = kiteSdk.getLoginUrl();

UserModel userModel = null;
userModel = kiteSdk.requestAccessToken("xxxxx", "yyyyyy");

kiteSdk.setAccessToken(userModel.accessToken);
kiteSdk.setPublicToken(userModel.publicToken);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What value to put for xxxx and yyyyy ?
kiteSdk.setUserId --> Shoudl i give my Zerodha account ID ?
Should i put all of this in one set of sequential steps as the App starts in onCreate ?

Hi @jyothish

Please refer to the Java documentation: https://kite.trade/docs/javakiteconnect/
All the methods and its arguments are explained well there.

For requestAccessToken, it takes two parameters:
1. requestToken - received from login process.
2. apiSecret - which is unique for each app.

setUserId is to set the zerodha user id in current context. You can see the test code for reference:
