Hi, I want to create a fully automated system for algo trading. I want to understand if it is possible to do so using Kite API ?
I was reading the documentation and found that the user's access token is flushed everyday. This way user has to login again every morning and I can't fully automate it. Why is it so ? And Is there any workaround ?

    It is mandatory by the exchange that a user has to log in manually at least once a day.

    So, We can not run the automated tool 24/7, because I also wanted to run it fully automated. But I believe other brokers are providing this facility, Isnt It ?

    Can we automate login process through Web Scrapping modules available in Python, in that case, everyday it will take access token and will login automatically, is this legal ? I know this is doable but I wanted to know the legality in this case ?
