A request token is valid only for a couple of minutes. After that ,it expires.

You can run with debug logs enabled and check, if the values that is being sent are correct. It is working fine at our end.

A request token can be used only once and is valid for a couple of minutes.

i am aware of the usage of request token and doing it rightly. i tried again with the below code and getting the same error.

#!python
import logging
from kiteconnect import KiteConnect

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

kite = KiteConnect(api_key="hjnl154ozm******")
data = kite.generate_session("itMnbneaEVTlh3b2lekVRtRl7cJBRGye", api_secret="qmqmjtg1htqzz1p3xld2******")
kite.set_access_token(data["access_token"])
print(data)
