Note able to execute kite.holdings()

Hi,

I wrote a very simple app where I am trying to get the holdings in my a/c.
75         kite = KiteConnect(api_key, api_secret)                                  
 76                                                                                  
 77         # Fetch all orders                                                       
 78         print("All kite holdings:\n")                                            
 79         print(kite.holdings())

I am getting the error:-
Invalid session

I am getting if I execute kite.orders()

Invalid `api_key` or `access_token`.

BTW, I am able to run a websocket where I am receiving streams from few of the instruments that I have subscribed to.
I tried logging in again, but that does not work.
Earlier , I had fetched instruments using kite.instruments() and that had worked.

Am I missing something? I am running a websocket process where I am receiving ticks. This is a new process that I executing parallelly. Do I need to pickle the kite object and use the same object in all the processes?

Thanks,
Ansuman

    Surprisingly, kite.instruments() works fine.

    I regenerated the api secret and tried. Still facing the same issue.

    Hi,
    The request token is valid for only once and validity is only for a couple of seconds.
    So once you get access token store it and re-use it in subsequent runs. Don't request for access token every time you run the script.
    The access token is valid for one whole day.
    It will be invalidated only if you log into other platforms like Pi or Nest. It is recommended to use Kite for monitoring purposes. If you log out of Kite then also you are logged out everywhere.

    Hi Sujith,

    Thanks for your response.
    To create a kite context, I am not using request token or access token, I am using api key and secret.
    131   try:                                                                         
    132         print(" Creating kite context...")                                       
    133         kite = KiteConnect(api_key, api_secret)                                  
    134     except Exception as e:                                                       
    135         print(e)                                                                 
    136         sys.exit(1)                                                              
    137                                                                                  
    138     print("Done.")

    Done.

    Looks like I am able to create the kite context. But I am not able to place an order,

    The following code works:-
