Unable to log in

I am using requests library to make the query and following is the code snippet and its output.

Code
kite = KiteConnect(api_key=self.__api_key)

# Redirect the user to the login url obtained
# from kite.login_url(), and receive the request_token
# from the registered redirect url after the login flow.
# Once you have the request_token, obtain the access_token
# as follows.

print 'Login url: ', kite.login_url()
response = requests.get(kite.login_url(), allow_redirects=False)
print 'Status code: ', response.status_code
print 'Headers: ', response.headers
print 'History: ', response.history
print 'Reason: ', response.raw.reason
print 'Redrect url: ', response.headers['location']

Output
Login url: https://kite.trade/connect/login?api_key=09y9sc1765udoxpb
Status code: 302

If you notice, the redirect URL does not contain the request_token. Can you check where could be the problem ?

@ssmaitra Your app 'CountXTreme' which you tried to create is in pending state, it might be because some error while creating the app or making payments. I checked payment history and there were no payments made yet so please kindly add credits and activate the app.

@ssmaitra Your ledger balance is ₹1,998.65 hence we couldn't deduct.

I tried firing the login url https://kite.trade/connect/login?api_key=09y9sc1765udoxpb from the browser and was directed to the login page. After logging in, I was able to see the request_token in the redirect url.

How do I log in automatically without prompting for login page? BTW, I will be storing passwords in a secure password vault.

Hi @ssmaitra You can use python mechanize library to automate your obtaining request token and generating access token business. Its quite simple and takes around 7-11 secs to generate an access token.

using python mechanize library obtaining request token and generating access token throws invalid request token.

sampe code -
kite = KiteConnect(api_key)
#xyz = kite.login_url()
#print "kite" ,kite
#browser= mechanize.Browser()
#browser.add_password('https://kite.trade/connect/login?api_key=xxxx', 'xxxx', 'xxxx')
#response = browser.open('https://kite.trade/connect/login?api_key=xxxx')
#xyz = response.geturl()
#print xyz
#request_token =xyz[47:79]
#print request_token

Also, for retail algo traders is there a plan to disable this web browser dependency for login and make it pure rest api based with token refresh etc. ?
