BAD REQUEST error while trying to get accesstoken through JAVA

rajeshreddyrr@gmail.com

Hi,

I have below code for getting access token. I am getting response status as 400 and response message as "BAD REQUEST".
public String getSessionKey(){
BufferedReader rd = null;
StringBuilder sb = null;
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
try {
URL url = new URL("https://api.kite.trade/session/token");

String checksum = getSHA256Hash(api_key+request_token+secret_key);
HttpsURLConnection conn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setRequestProperty("api_key", api_key);
conn.setRequestProperty("request_token", request_token);
conn.setRequestProperty("checksum", checksum);

conn.connect();

int status = conn.getResponseCode();
System.out.println(conn.getResponseMessage());
switch (status) {
case 200:
case 201:
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));

String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line+"\n");
}
br.close();
return sb.toString();
}

} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

return stringBuilder.toString();
}
/**
* Returns a hexadecimal encoded SHA-256 hash for the input String.
* @param data
* @return
*/
private String getSHA256Hash(String data) {
String result = null;
try {
MessageDigest digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
byte[] hash = digest.digest(data.getBytes("UTF-8"));
return DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary(hash); // make it printable
}catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
}

Am i missing something here.

Logically, this looks correct. Any API related error should come back with a JSON response (including an error message). If you're not getting a JSON response, the POST request you making may be problematic in itself.

rajeshreddyrr@gmail.com your response status as 400 and response message as "BAD REQUEST" problem solve?

Hi RH, I didn't get time to look into it. If you are successfull in getting session token and placing orders, can you post me the code.

Hi RH1558, Isue is resolved by directly creating URL string instead of setting request properties.
Ex:
URL url = new URL("https://api.kite.trade/session/token?api_key=&request_token="+request_token+"&checksum="+sha256hex);
HttpsURLConnection conn = (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.connect();

int status = conn.getResponseCode();
