TokenException: Invalid checksum

primalik

I started using python library and getting this error -
'TokenException: Invalid checksum' on executing this line of code -
data = kite.request_access_token(request.args['request_token'], secret=app.secret_key)

I am using the request token as it was returned back after login and using correct secret key.
Can somebody guide please ? Thanks.

I am getting same kind of an error. Did you resolve it?

sujith

Either request token is wrong or API secret is wrong, recheck and retry.

primalik

@sujith , api secret and request token both are correct. I am still stuck on it, is there any other thing that I am missing ?
@suraj , did you got to resolve this ?

primalik

Sorry, It worked for me. I was using api key instead of api secret while calling.
Thanks @sujith .
