NodeJs how to get request token

srinicipher

Hi

I am trying this API from desktop program not from web.

I am trying to connect api via NodeJS and wondering how to get the request token.

If u look at the example here
https://github.com/rainmattertech/kiteconnectjs/blob/master/README.md

How we get the request token

When I run the same code with my api key and secret it says session invalid and token exception


Any suggestion would help

Hi,
You need to use Webview in a desktop application in order to use Kite Connect login.

A user has to manually log in to Kite Connect webpage and after completing login user will be redirected to pre-defined redirect URL with request token. The request token can be used only once and its validity is only for a couple of minutes. Use the above-obtained request token to retrieve an access token. The access token is valid for one whole trading day. Once access token is retrieved store it and re-use it for subsequent runs. A user shouldn't request for access token for every run.

Hi Sujith,

I just need to fetch price of some of the mutual funds in periodic basis from a desktop program.

Can this be done?

Hi,
Unlike stocks, a mutual fund NAV(last price) is updated only once a day.
You need to fetch instrument dump and store it. You can fetch the last price from that dump.
You can check out mutual funds instrument documentation.
