urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.kite.trade', port=443): Read time

Leena

Hello,
I am placing an order using API. The order is getting placed on console but the function call is not returning the order_ID which is leading to multiple order placement.
Why is it happening? Can anyone guide?

Are you using place_order method to place order above?
Are you getting ReadTimeoutError urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError:, while placing the above order?
Can you paste the complete debug log for the above request as well?

@Leena,
It is not a good practice to retry without checking in case of write requests. You can read more about it here.

Thanks, @Leena for raising the issue.
I also observed the same issue after the order is getting placed with the place_order() function but didn't return the order id.

yup @sujith that's correct but how can we check if the order gets placed or not if we didn't have any order id in our hand.

Thanks.

@sujith in this thread you have suggested at the last to check orderbook and retry for all non-400 write API responses how to check all non-400 write api response

how can we check if the order gets placed or not if we didn't have any order id in our hand

You can look for order_timestamp field in orderbook for each placed order.

Thanks for replying @sujith @rakeshr @maheshsolanke

yes I have pasted the complete log below @rakeshr

I didn't got orderid for the order I placed using place_order()

urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.kite.trade', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=7)

Saw your error log above. An instance of time-out has happened, which can happen because of multiple reasons including local network connection, etc. What you need to do in such cases is handle read-timeout instances at your end and place an order again after checking the order book(check if order is already placed before raising time-out). Something like:

from requests.exceptions import ReadTimeout
try:
     # Place order
except ReadTimeout:
    # fetch complete orderbook and check if order is already place
    # if place skip or else place same order again

okay @rakeshr @sujith
Thanks for support.
