keyError - 'data' (It was working since over a year till May 18th 2024.)

ashbash

It has been working seamlessly for last 1 year but things changed after May 20st.

All I am doing is seeking current positions from kite object, using HTTP API as given below.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c1-ash.py", line 92, in
curpos = kite.positions()
File "/home/ag/xts-pythonclient-api-sdk-main/kite_trade.py", line 129, in positions
positions = self.session.get(f"{self.root_url}/portfolio/positions", headers=self.headers).json()["data"]
KeyError: 'data'

Can you private message the api_key? We will check and get back to you.

You may also include the complete stack trace in the private message with request and response json from the Kite Connect.

Hi Sujith,

Here is the debugging stack trace. I hv executed each line one by one and eventually, after obtaining kite object successfully, when I try to run any command on kite object such kite.ltp, kite.quote, kite.historical etc, I get HTTP 400

Here is the stacktrace:

-> kite = KiteApp(enctoken=enctoken)
(Pdb) n

-> if kite.root_url is None:
(Pdb) kite

(Pdb) kite.root_url

This was always the intended behavior. Emulating curl requests of the browser wasn't a service we ever offered.
