Hi @sjha_kumar,
All Kite Connect API calls are authenticated using access token and it is valid for one day.
To fetch access token, you need request token. Typically a request token is valid for a couple of minutes and it can be used only once.

When you run the script for the first time fetch access token and store it, from next run it should use stored access token.

Hi @Sujith,
I have successfully created request token and try to generate access token but getting this error. I didn't able to create access token first time.
