Hi All,

I am new to kiteconnect api. Using below code to authenticate kiteconnect api, however I am receiving Token invalid or expired error. Could you please advise.

######################### CODE ####################################
from kiteconnect import KiteConnect

api_key = open('api_key.txt', 'r').read()
api_secret = open('api_secret.txt', 'r').read()
kite = KiteConnect(api_key=api_key)

#print(kite.login_url())

obtained_request_token = "XXXXXX"
data = kite.generate_session(obtained_request_token, api_secret=api_secret)

@rakeshr Hi Rakesh,

I have followed the thread, I understand the request token, I have opened the login.url() in browser and got the request token, but when I supplied the request token, I am getting the error.

#python kconnect.py
https://kite.trade/connect/login?api_key=XXXXXXXXXXX&v=3 ==> Opened this in browser and got request token

##################
Here is how I received the request token in browser:
http://127.0.0.1/?request_token=I2Ul3tsJtXSOYp0Lk6AK0BxdteNWTdLO&action=login&status=success
################

Enter request token:I2Ul3tsJtXSOYp0Lk6AK0BxdteNWTdLO <= Supplied request token here, but failed
