Regarding error in automatic order placement using Kite API

Abhishek Gupta

Hi @sujith ,

Suddenly today i am getting error in placing automatic order using kite python API. I am able to fetch historical and current price -

Command-
order_id = kite.place_order(variety="REGULAR",tradingsymbol="INFY",exchange="NSE",transaction_type="BUY",quantity=1,order_type="MARKET",product="MIS")

Error -

DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:Starting new HTTPS connection (1): api.kite.trade:443

You need to pass variety=regular in small instead of cap.Go through this documentation to see complete order param.
