Authentication failed

srismohanty

Hello Everyone.

I am new to this so can anyone please help me out a bit.

I am trying to connect to zerodha through kiteconnect but while doing so, after receiving the request_token when I try to $kite->generateSession("$request_token", "$apisecret");, I get the message "Authentication failed: Token is invalid or has expired." I don't understand, how can the token get expired in seconds after been received. Am I doing something wrong or need to do something else?

Can somebody help please?

Thank You

Can you make sure you are using the new login URL as mentioned here?

srismohanty

Yes I am using this
$url = "https://kite.trade/connect/login?api_key=$apikey&v=3";

Can you private message your api_key? We will check and get back to you.
You can also refer to this thread.

I am even getting the request_token like this

xxxsettings.php?status=success&request_token=CeZkh4cb3Bb4oLMIt3Om8rdIDf3Acj0u

But its the second phase where I use kiteconnect to get the access token through
$user = $kite->generateSession("$request_token", "$api_secret");

I am getting the error

Authentication failed: Token is invalid or has expired.

You need to send api_secret and not access token to generate a session.

Sorry It was a mis-type on my part in this forum but I am actually using $api_secret not $access_token. I even tried a request from localhost but I still get the same error on my redirect url

A request token is valid for a couple of minutes and can be used only once.
