Please share the exact parameters you are sending and the JSON error response you're getting.

sthapatiinfo

here is the complete code in asp.net, here you go..

public void Authenticationtemp()
{
string url = "https://api.kite.trade/session/token";
var postData = "api_key=" + apikey + "&request_token=" + rqtoken + "&checksum=" + checksum;

byte[] data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);// Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(postData);

lbl3.Text = url;
try
{

var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/json; charset=UTF-8";
request.ContentLength = data.Length;

using (var stream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
}

var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

var responseString = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
Response.Write(responseString);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Response.Write(ex);
}
}

sthapatiinfo

in above code GetResponseStream giving 403 forbidden. Let us know when we are making mistake..thanks

How are you computing the checksum? Can you share that bit?

sthapatiinfo

Yes,
public void sha256_hash()
{
string value = apikey + rqtoken + apisecretkey;
StringBuilder Sb = new StringBuilder();

using (SHA256 hash = SHA256Managed.Create())
{
Encoding enc = Encoding.UTF8;
Byte[] result = hash.ComputeHash(enc.GetBytes(value));

foreach (Byte b in result)
Sb.Append(b.ToString("x2"));
}

checksum = Sb.ToString();
}

@sthapatiinfo Your app is 'Publisher' which doesn't support APIs. You should create a "Connect" app.
