Placing GTT orders via API - StatusCodeError: 400, message: Invalid order params

xameeramir

I'm trying to place a GTT order with this value:

{
  type: 'single',
  condition: {
    exchange: 'NSE',
    tradingsymbol: 'JMA',      
    trigger_values: [ 35.15 ], 
    last_price: 31
  },
  orders: [
    {
      exchange: 'NSE',
      tradingsymbol: 'JMA',    
      transaction_type: 'SELL',
      quantity: 241,
      order_type: 'LIMIT',     
      product: 'CNC',
      price: 35.15
    }
  ]
}

However it is throwing StatusCodeError: 400 - "{\"status\":\"error\",\"message\":\"Invalid order params.\",\"data\":null,\"error_type\":\"InputException\"}"

Everything seems correct as per the doc: https://kite.trade/docs/connect/v3/gtt/#placing-triggers

What is the problem here?

@xameeramir
Order params seem to be correct. Which client are you using?

@rakeshr I'm directly hitting the API using Node js request-promise npm package

Any resolution to this? I am facing the same issue

StatusCodeError: 400 - "{\"status\":\"error\",\"message\":\"Invalid order params.\",\"data\":null,\"error_type\":\"InputException\"}"

This means, either form-encoded input parameters is sent wrong/missing or wrong Content-Type header being used. You will need to use application/x-www-form-urlencoded content-type header for the request here. Go through the documentation here.

Found the issue. we need to pass orders and condition in json encoded format:


{
type: 'single',
condition: json.dumps({
exchange: 'NSE',
tradingsymbol: 'JMA',
trigger_values: [ 35.15 ],
last_price: 31
}),
orders: json.dumps([
{
exchange: 'NSE',
tradingsymbol: 'JMA',
transaction_type: 'SELL',
quantity: 241,
order_type: 'LIMIT',
product: 'CNC',
price: 35.15
}
])
}
