Kite Connect API: v3 Python: 3.12.10 Python client: kiteconnect 5.2.2 OS: Windows App type: Kite Connect + Historical Chart data App status: Active Subscription valid until: 19 Oct 2026
Steps to reproduce
Created an active Kite Connect app. Configured the redirect URL as: http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/kite/callback Stored the API key in .env. Verified that the API key in .env matches the API key displayed in the developer console. Initialized the Python client: from kiteconnect import KiteConnect
kite = KiteConnect(api_key=api_key) print(kite.login_url()) The login URL is generated successfully. Opening the generated URL in the browser returns: { "status": "error", "message": "Invalid `api_key`.", "data": null, "error_type": "InputException" }
I have also paused and reactivated the app, but the same error persists.
The API key has been checked for leading/trailing whitespace and matches the key shown in the developer console.
Could you please check whether there is an issue with the API key/app configuration on the Kite Connect side?
