I am unable to get kite python api working to place futures orders. I am able to place equity orders. I get an exception at the statement logging.info("Order placement failed {}".format(e.message)) with the error builtins.AttributeError: 'InputException' object has no attribute 'message' This makes it impossible to debug. Following is the code and after that the output. Code: print("symbol name is") print(symbol_name) print("quantity is") print(quantity) print("price is") print(stock_futures_sell_value) print("vaidity is") print(kite.VALIDITY_DAY) print("variety is") print(kite.VARIETY_REGULAR) print("exchange is") print(kite.EXCHANGE_NFO) print("transaction type is") print(kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_SELL) print("product is") print(kite.PRODUCT_NRML) print("order_type is") print(kite.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT) zerodha_nse_sell_futures_order_id = kite.place_order(variety=kite.VARIETY_REGULAR, exchange=kite.EXCHANGE_NFO, tradingsymbol=symbol_name, transaction_type=kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_SELL, quantity=quantity, product=kite.PRODUCT_NRML, order_type=kite.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT, price=stock_futures_sell_value, validity=kite.VALIDITY_DAY) logging.info("Order placed Id is {}".format(zerodha_nse_sell_futures_order_id)) except Exception as e: logging.info("Order placement failed {}".format(e.message))
Output: symbol name is NIFTY25AUGFUT quantity is 50 price is 17696.65 vaidity is DAY variety is regular exchange is NFO transaction type is SELL product is NRML order_type is LIMIT Unhandled Error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/python/log.py", line 103, in callWithLogger return callWithContext({"system": lp}, func, *args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/python/log.py", line 86, in callWithContext return context.call({ILogContext: newCtx}, func, *args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/python/context.py", line 122, in callWithContext return self.currentContext().callWithContext(ctx, func, *args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/python/context.py", line 85, in callWithContext return func(*args,**kw) --- --- File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/internet/posixbase.py", line 614, in _doReadOrWrite why = selectable.doRead() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/internet/tcp.py", line 243, in doRead return self._dataReceived(data) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/internet/tcp.py", line 249, in _dataReceived rval = self.protocol.dataReceived(data) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/protocols/tls.py", line 330, in dataReceived self._flushReceiveBIO() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/protocols/tls.py", line 295, in _flushReceiveBIO ProtocolWrapper.dataReceived(self, bytes) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/protocols/policies.py", line 120, in dataReceived self.wrappedProtocol.dataReceived(data) File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/autobahn/twisted/websocket.py", line 291, in dataReceived self._dataReceived(data) File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py", line 1213, in _dataReceived self.consumeData() File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py", line 1225, in consumeData while self.processData() and self.state != WebSocketProtocol.STATE_CLOSED: File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py", line 1591, in processData fr = self.onFrameEnd() File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py", line 1713, in onFrameEnd self._onMessageEnd() File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/autobahn/twisted/websocket.py", line 319, in _onMessageEnd self.onMessageEnd() File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py", line 634, in onMessageEnd self._onMessage(payload, self.message_is_binary) File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/autobahn/twisted/websocket.py", line 322, in _onMessage self.onMessage(payload, isBinary) File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/kiteconnect/ticker.py", line 71, in onMessage self.factory.on_message(self, payload, is_binary) File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/kiteconnect/ticker.py", line 673, in _on_message self.on_ticks(self, self._parse_binary(payload)) File "options_data_aug_totp.py", line 575, in on_ticks logging.info("Order placement failed {}".format(e.message)) builtins.AttributeError: 'InputException' object has no attribute 'message'
Also,your instrument is NIFTY25AUGFUT.
This is not a valid instrument, that's why place order API is throwing InputException.
The correct format for tradingsymbol of future instruments is:
Underlying+YY+1st 3 letters of the month+FUT.
Like -NIFTY22AUGFUT.
You can get the correct tradingsymbol for all instruments tradable for the day from the instruments dump:

logging.info("Order placement failed {}".format(e.message))change it to
logging.info("Order placement failed {}".format(e))
