Help on Access token

RG2586

Hi,
I am unable to get the access token using python. I am using the API example to place an order, however, I am unable to get the access token. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

from kiteconnect import KiteConnect
import hashlib
import urllib2,requests,json

# Initialise.
kite = KiteConnect(api_key="xxxxxxxxx")
api_key = 'xxxxxxxxx'
api_secret = "xxxxxxxxx"
url_part = 'https://kite.trade/connect/login?api_key='
url=url_part+api_key

response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
token=response.geturl()
print 'token=',(token.split('=')[1]).split('&')[0]
request_token =str((token.split('=')[1]).split('&')[0])




#===================================


# Assuming you have obtained the `request_token`
# after the auth flow redirect by redirecting the
# user to kite.login_url()
try:
user = kite.request_access_token(request_token=request_token,
secret=api_secret)

kite.set_access_token(user["access_token"])
except Exception as e:
print "Authentication failed", str(e)
raise

print user["xxxxxxxxx"], "has logged in"

# Get the list of positions.
print kite.positions()

# Place an order.
order_id = kite.order_place(
tradingsymbol="INFY",
exchange="NSE",
quantity=1,
transaction_type="BUY",
order_type="MARKET"
)

OUTPUT:


200

You have to open the login url in browser to get the request token after you successfully authenticate. From your code I can see that your are just making a get request using urllib to login url and trying to get token but request token is issued once you successfully authenticate and it redirects to the app redirect url.

You can automate this with headless browsers such as mechanize or selenium.
