Step 2: Pasted this to browser to get request token
Step 3: Copied request token and pasted in code below

@sujith having the same issue, this was working for me till yesterday, today it's throwing this error.

What's the problem?

And as i'm looking through the error, has something to do with security check and captcha.

Also i'm getting the attention required and captcha page today, before the login page of kite.

Is this a cloudflare issue?
