kite.place_order giving an exception

mjhaveri001

order_id = kite.place_order(exchange=kite.EXCHANGE_NSE, transaction_type=kite.TRANSACTION_TYPE_SELL, quantity=1,
product='MIS', order_type='SL-M', validity='DAY', trigger_price='600', variety='REGULAR', tradingsymbol='JUSTDIAL')

Is giving me an input exception saying that "api_key" or "access_token" are invalid but I'm very confident that this is not the case as kite.order(), kite.instruments() and other methods are working okay. Can somebody help!!

Thanks

Can you run it in debug mode and paste the complete logs here?

Lemme know if you need any more logs/details. Thanks

It seems like you are sending an invalid api_key or access_token. Are you sure you are sending a valid auth header?
You can run pykiteconnect with debug flag true.

And the variety is regular and not REGULAR

Changing variety from 'REGULAR' to 'regular' did the job. I guess there was an issue with the exceptions as it told me invalid api_key/access_token when the real problem was the parameter I had passed.
Thanks
