You are sending a JSON payload, but the API only accepts standard form encoded POST parameters.

Even the below code which is non Json code is not working... Please Help

System.Net.WebRequest req = System.Net.WebRequest.Create("https://api.kite.trade/orders/regular");
req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
req.Method = "POST";

byte[] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("api_key=xxx&access_token=" + accesstoken + "&tradingsymbol=ACC&exchange=NSE&transaction_type=BUY&order_type=Market&quantity=1&product=MIS&validity=DAY");
req.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
System.IO.Stream os = req.GetRequestStream();
os.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length); //Push it out there
os.Close();
System.Net.WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse();


System.IO.StreamReader sr =
new System.IO.StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream());

Response.Write(sr.ReadToEnd().Trim());

@cdesai1987 Please check for error message in response. You might get a meaningful error message which will help you to debug it. Generally 400 means you are sending invalid data or not sending required params.
