kite.exit_order(variety,order_id) is not working for cover orders

Kinsh

I am using the below code to place and exit a cover order.
kite.place_order(variety=variety,
tradingsymbol=tradingsymbol,
exchange=exchange,
transaction_type=transaction_type_buy,
quantity=qyantity,
order_type=order_type,
product='co',
trigger_price = trigger_price)
The order got placed and returned an order_id string.

Now using below code to exit the same order
kite.exit_order(variety=variety, order_id=order_id), which is showing the below error/exception

DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:Starting new HTTPS connection (1): api.kite.trade:443

I have tried that several times, it just didn't work.
But at the same time, I am able to exit the order from Zerodha kite web.

kite.exit_order(variety=variety, order_id=order_id)

You are using the wrong order_id here. When you place a CO order, you get 2 legs i.e order_id, 1st leg for limit/market, and the other for pending SL order. You have to use 2nd leg SL order_id here instead of executed limit/market order(1st leg order). You will find that order_id from the complete order book.

......
product='co',
trigger_price = trigger_price)
The order got placed and returned an order_id string.

This is 1st leg market/limit order_id, which must have been executed. You need 2nd leg i.e SL order_id in exit_order.

Thank you @rakeshr for highlighting the issue.
There is one more thing I want to know,
Is it necessary that the 2nd leg order_id would be the (1st leg's order_id + 1)?
same above question for exchange_ids.

@Kinsh,
It is not guaranteed that the second leg order will be +1 of the first leg order id.
