Unable to place order - com.zerodhatech.kiteconnect.kitehttp.exceptions.InputException

Tried to place an order with the following code

public class OrderServices {
public static void BuyOrder(KiteConnect kiteSdk) throws KiteException, IOException {

OrderParams orderParams = new OrderParams();
orderParams.quantity = 1;
orderParams.orderType = Constants.ORDER_TYPE_MARKET;
orderParams.tradingsymbol = "IDFC";
orderParams.product = Constants.PRODUCT_MIS;
orderParams.exchange = Constants.EXCHANGE_NSE;
orderParams.transactionType = Constants.TRANSACTION_TYPE_BUY;
orderParams.validity = Constants.VALIDITY_IOC;
orderParams.price = 0.0;
orderParams.triggerPrice = 0.0;
orderParams.tag = "myTag"; //tag is optional and it cannot be more than 8 characters and only alphanumeric is allowed


Order order = kiteSdk.placeOrder(orderParams, Constants.VARIETY_REGULAR);
System.out.println(order.orderId);
}
}

.
.
.
.
.
// ORDER EXECUTION
try{
System.out.println("REQUESTING TO MAKE ORDER");
OrderServices.BuyOrder(kiteSdk);
System.out.println("ORDER SUCCESSFUL ");
} catch(Exception | KiteException e) {
System.out.println("Exception inside orders is :" + e +
" \n " + e.getMessage());
}

What's the exact exception you are getting?? You can either run javakiteconnect with debug logs or catch and print the exception.

This is the message I got.
Exception has occurred: com.zerodhatech.kiteconnect.kitehttp.exceptions.InputException

SRIJAN

This doesn't mean anything. You can read the documentation on how to enable debug log in javakiteconnect.

SRIJAN

Also,it could be TOTP exception. Have you enabled TOTP??

dezmozz

No I don't have TOTP enabled.

SRIJAN

TOTP is mandatory to place orders from third-party apps. You can know how to setup TOTP here:
