How to maintain Refersh Token and Access token programmatically in python

V2R

I am creating application with kite. I have observed that we need to create access token everyday. Till now I am manually login in to the application and create the request token and then create a access token from that.

But now I want this thing to be done programmatically in python.

(I am using Django Framework for accessing this python client)

You can check out this thread.

@sujith I have tried this like:

kite = KiteConnect(api_key=KITE_API_KEY)
data = kite.renew_access_token(KITE_REFRESH_TOKEN, KITE_API_SECRET)
print(data)

But it gives error: Token is invalid or has expired.

(Value of KITE_REFRESH_TOKEN is the token we get in the URL when successfull login flow)

You get a request token after the successful login process. You can know more here.

@sujith I tried the above api: https://api.kite.trade/session/token

I Have generated the checksum of api_key + request_token + api_secret and then I've called the above with the respective parameters, still it gives error:
sometimes:

{
"status": "error",
"message": "`api_key` should be minimum 6 characters in length.",
"data": null,
"error_type": "InputException"
}

and sometimes:

{
"status": "error",
"message": "`checksum` should be minimum 10 characters in length.",
"data": null,
"error_type": "InputException"
}

Is there something i am missing?

You need to send api_key, checksum and request token as mentioned here.
