@sujith can u please help here

SRIJAN

Are you passing variety in upper-case when placing order?? It should be small-case .

sagar_yv

yes passing variety as "regular"

apart from that
exchange: "NSE"
tradingsymbol: "SUNPHARMA"
transaction_type: "BUY"
quantity: 1
product: "MIS"
order_type: "MARKET"
validity: "DAY"

@SRIJAN

SRIJAN

Then your access token expired. Try with a new access token.

sagar_yv

tried multiple time as mentioned above from 28-apr-2022 i am facing this issue ticks are coming correctly but issue is from order placing side. i am running my service from past 1 month now (generated token every day manually around 9AM) . on 27-apr-2022 API has to expire so i renewed it on 25-apr-2022 . right after one month its happning so i generated new api_key secret still no success
@SRIJAN

SRIJAN

Are other APIs working fine except for order placement??
And,do you start websocket every day or it's continuous??

sujith

why don't you run kiteconnecjs in debug mode and paste the complete stack trace here?

sagar_yv

i just use websockets for ticks and placeOrder API but just checked on getPositions is throwing same error just websockets ticks are working fine as of now.
@SRIJAN

SRIJAN

Are you using set_access_token method?

sagar_yv

even if i restart service without changing access token then still websockets ticks working fine and i can see running sessions from my APP its showing my service active session.

can u tell how can i get debug logs ?
i have passed debug: true key in kiteConnect?

@SRIJAN

SRIJAN

This can only happen if you don't use set access token method.
If you are using that,and still the error,I can't figure out the issue brother.
Only Sujith Sir, Rakesh Sir can help you.

var ticker = new KiteTicker({
api_key: apiKey,
access_token: AccessToken,
});

ticker.autoReconnect(true, 10, 5);
ticker.connect();
ticker.on("ticks", TicksFunc);
ticker.on("connect", subscribe);

ticker.on("noreconnect", function () {
logger.error("noreconnect");
});

ticker.on("reconnecting", function (reconnect_interval, reconnections) {});

function subscribe() {
ticker.subscribe(uniqueStocks);
ticker.setMode(ticker.modeFull, uniqueStocks);
}


const options = {
api_key: apiKey,
debug: true,
};

const kc = new KiteConnect(options);
kc.setAccessToken(AccessToken);


then i use this kc to place order

@SRIJAN
and how and when can i connect to @sujith @rakeshr sir please help me .

rakeshr

Can you paste here the complete debug log, by sending debug flag as true in the kiteconnect initialization, as shown here?

sagar_yv

@rakeshr sir i have initialized kiteconnect as below

const options = {
api_key: apiKey,
debug: true,
};

const kc = new KiteConnect(options);
kc.setAccessToken(AccessToken);


and get request response as below for placeOrder.
if u want to see getHolding debug logs then i have put in above messages.

request

{"url":"/orders/regular","method":"post","data":"exchange=NSE&tradingsymbol=SUNPHARMA&transaction_type=BUY&quantity=1&product=MIS&order_type=MARKET&validity=DAY&variety=regular","headers":{"common":{"Accept":"application/json, text/plain, */*"},"delete":{},"get":{},"head":{},"post":{"Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},"put":{"Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},"patch":{"Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},"X-Kite-Version":3,"User-Agent":"kiteconnectjs/3.2.1","Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},"params":null,"baseURL":"https://api.kite.trade","transformRequest":[null],"transformResponse":[null],"timeout":7000,"xsrfCookieName":"XSRF-TOKEN","xsrfHeaderName":"X-XSRF-TOKEN","maxContentLength":-1,"maxBodyLength":-1,"transitional":{"silentJSONParsing":true,"forcedJSONParsing":true,"clarifyTimeoutError":false}}

response

{status: 'error', message: 'Invalid `api_key` or `access_token`.', data: null, error_type: 'InputException'}

if u wnt anything else please let me know

sujith

This because your auth header doesn't have either api_key or access token as described in the error message.

sagar_yv

how would i correct that ?

i doing this . how could i resolve this. or can u share some curls so i will setup that only and will not use kite connect

const options = {
api_key: apiKey,
debug: true,
};

const kc = new KiteConnect(options);
kc.setAccessToken(AccessToken);
