Not able to login using version 3.0

mastertrader21
Hello dear,

I am using Advance Rest Client to test the new version api i.e 3.0. I am trying to login with
url :-
https://api.kite.trade/session/token?api_key=xxx&request_token=xxx&checksum=xxx
Header :-
X-Kite-Version : 3

All the time it show api key not found, min length is 6

PFA for the same

    You seem to be sending params as query string which is wrong. All the POST requests are expected to send params in the body.

    Dear ,

    I had tried the same what you had said me, that to but params in the body.
    But the same error I got i.e "message": "Missing or invalid field `api_key`. Min length is 6.".

    PFA for the same




    Can you give some example for api hitting via rest client.
    For e.g :-
    1. url :- https://api.kite.trade/session/token
    2. body(in json) :- {"api_key":"xxx","request_token":"xxx":"checksum":"xxx"}
    3. Header :-
    i. X-Kite-Version : 3

    It's a form request, not JSON request.

    Passing -d on curl means content-type should be set as application/x-www-form-urlencoded. But you are still setting content-type as application/json. Check if ARC supports importing curl request as it is. :)

    Thank you dear, I had resolve my issue, by put the application/x-www-form-urlencoded instead of application/json. In previous version i.e 2.0 I used to pass those urlencoded parameter in query string & it works, that is also mention in -d. Why the query string not working in V 3.0?

    The new Kite Trade is more robust everything is strictly defined now.
    Now all the requests are authenticated using authorization header. All POST requests are form requests and expect users to send params in the body.
    Only GET and DELETE will have params in the URL.
