It seems like your session is expired, you need to login and get new request token.

Even after getting a new token same error.

Today I ran the same with a new generated API secret. Still getting the same error. Should I try to create a new application and try the same?

my api subscription was inactive ... I reactivated it .. and previously working login flow stoped working ..

getting flowing error
Array ( [status] => error [message] => Invalid `checksum`. [data] => [error_type] => TokenException )

Using all correct keys api_key, api_secrete, user_id, and requestToken.

I have read all the relevant discussion but nothing helpful, I can send API keys, secrets separately.
This app newly created few days back, please help.

Did you go through this thread?

gurugg0802

@sujith , This is a wrong thread as here it is talking about an access token which gets generated and then expires. For me, it is not even getting generated for a new api_secret created on that day. Please help me [email protected].

sujith

You can check the documentation here https://kite.trade/docs/connect/v3/user/
Double check if you are doing every step properly.

I was facing the same issue (invalid checksum) after my API subscription got expired yesterday. Regenerating the API secret and using it in code solved it for me.

gurugg0802

@sujith, While trying to follow the documentation, I am getting the error while running the /session/token API. It is giving an 400 error (Bad request) that the 'api_key' should be minimum 6 characters in length, so token is not getting generated.

sujith

Are you sure you are making a form post request?

gurugg0802

yes. How can I send the screen shot from Postman request?

sujith

Can you private message the api_key and send me the curl of the request you are making?

gurugg0802

Access token is still not being able to be retreived. Kindly provide the exact algorithm to be able to continue with the application created.

sujith

Everything seems fine with your app. We have tried it multiple times. You can check the login flow here.
