How to solve this issue.

You are trying to make GET request but instead make POST request to "https://api.kite.trade/session/token" with params request_token, checksum and api_key. Please refer documentation - https://kite.trade/docs/connect/v1/#authentication

I am using POST request from excel, not GET, still i face general expectation error.

umamaheswaran

https://api.kite.trade/session/token/?api_key=xxx&request_token=xxx&checksum=xxx
if i am using like this on POST method still getting the same error.

Hi, Now i am getting different error.

{
"status": "error",
"message": "Missing api_key",
"error_type": "InputException"
}

Vivek

@umamaheswaran Hi I think you are not sending the POST params properly. Forx example here is a curl request to obtain access token

curl "https://api.kite.trade/session/token" --data "request_token=XXXX&api_key=YYYY&checksum=ZZZZ"

@vivek: I followed the same instruction by you and as per API document, still it fails

https://api.kite.trade/session/token?request_token=9zn0uuvzbtov9caakffd4zdg2fohcpyt&api_key=irwhyzord56cx7yo&checksum=76da559be58065b875ca10296a98c91be7142d6a1076623d1c7c80eb373c7057

@vivek : I tried using postman google chrome extension, still getting the same error.

Vivek

@umamaheswaran You need to send POST params as raw in postman.

umamaheswaran

@vivek : if i send params as RAW in postman, i am getting missing required field

my raw data is,
{
"api_key":"xxx"
"request_token":"yyy"
"checksum":"zzz"
}

Vivek

raw data should be in this format - "api_key=XXX&request_token=YYY&checksum=ZZZ"
