HOW CAN I GET "exchange": "", "tradingSymbol": "", "symbolToken": "", EXAMPLE : SENSEX 01 Jul 82700 Call ITS SYMBOL AND TOKEN ?

Hey everyone,

We are trying to place orders from aws lambda and S3. if anyone knows how to go about it, kindly help us out.

We are trying to mimic the behaviour of tradetron, where orders are placed at once for multiple users based on a given strategy.

Kind regards,
Bharath

@admin
My personal client ID is B133022

@admin
I could not find any documentation regarding this.

Could you please give a step by step instruction on how it is supposed to be done?

@admin

So I use python to place orders:

def place_order(client_name,client_smartApi,tradingsymbol,symbol_token,symbolexchange,transactiontype,quantity):
    #place order
    try:
        orderparams = {
            "variety": "NORMAL",
            "tradingsymbol": str(tradingsymbol),
            "symboltoken": str(symbol_token),
            "transactiontype": str(transactiontype),
            "exchange": str(symbolexchange),
            "ordertype": "MARKET",
            "producttype": "INTRADAY",
            "duration": "DAY",
            "quantity": str(quantity)
            }
        orderId=client_smartApi.placeOrder(orderparams)
        print("The order id is: "+orderId+"\t client_name:"+client_name+" \t time:"+str(datetime.today()))
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

client_name = 'Username'
client_smartApi=SmartConnect(api_key='api_key')
login = client_smartApi.generateSession('Client_id','Client_password')
refreshToken = login['data']['refreshToken']
quantity = 'quantity'
place_order(client_name,client_smartApi,tradingsymbol,symbol_token,symbolexchange,transactiontype,quantity)

Once I executed the above, I got a response as follows:

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='apiconnect.angelbroking.com', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=7)

That's pretty much it.

Dear @admin, it's been a while since I posted this, could you review and help us out ?

Dear @admin,

I faced this issue while placing orders for clients too. I faced it today, could you guide us through the correct steps?

And also give out a reason why this is happening?

Dear admin,

Once we generate a session, how do we place order using just tokens?

Right now I am doing this:

client_smartApi = SmartConnect(api_key = client_api_key)
login = client_smartApi.generateSession("Client_id","Client_password")
orderId=client_smartApi.placeOrder(orderparams)
print("OrderId :"+str(orderId))

#obtain the required tokens
access_token = client_smartApi.access_token
refreshToken = login['data']['refreshToken']
jwtToken = login['data']['jwtToken']

The order is successfully placed here.
As you can see, while placing the order I generateSession for the client using the client ID and the client password.

However, how do we generate a session initially and then use the tokens to place the orders at a later point in time?

I tried doing this -

client_smartApi = SmartConnect(api_key = clien_api_key)
client_smartApi.setAccessToken(access_token )
client_smartApi.setRefreshToken(refreshToken )
orderId=client_smartApi.placeOrder(orderparams)

This throws an error as follows:

..........\lib\site-packages\smartapi\smartConnect.py in placeOrder(self, orderparams)
    288                 del(params[k])
    289 
--> 290         orderResponse= self._postRequest("api.order.place", params)['data']['orderid']
    291 
    292         return orderResponse

TypeError: string indices must be integers

Could you please guide me with this?

Thank you

@admin Dear admin, can you be kind enough to tell me why we cant place orders for multiple clients?
Am I missing something?
Could you please guide me to the correct sources as well?

Re: Error while placing order

Hey whenever I place my orders, the orders usually get executed, however sometimes, I get the error:
"string indices must be integers"

Here is a gist of my code:

client_smartApi=SmartConnect(api_key='api_key')
login = client_smartApi.generateSession('Client_id','password')
try:
orderparams = {
"variety": "NORMAL",
"tradingsymbol": tradingsymbol,
"symboltoken": symbol_token,
"transactiontype": transactiontype,
"exchange": symbolexchange,
"ordertype": "MARKET",
"producttype": "CARRYFORWARD",
"duration": "DAY",
"quantity": quantity
}
orderId=client_smartApi.placeOrder(orderparams)
except Exception as e:
print(e)

@admin
Dear admin, is there a document about the rules (compliance) as you just mentioned it. Kindly share the link .

I did not find anything as such in the API docs.

Dear team,

What is the maximum number of APIs a user can create? Is there a limit to this?
Can we use these APIs for a large scale number of clients?

Looking forward for your response.

Kind regards,

Dear admin,

I am trying to place the same order for multiple clients at once. However, the login flow for each client takes about 0.8 seconds, so as the number of clients increase, this 0.8 seconds of delay for each clients adds up to a big number.

I'd like to know is there a feasible multiuser order placement gateway?

For instance, this is how I am able to place orders for multiple clients right now:

iterate through a list of client credentials
- generate smart api session for each client
- place order for each client (clientapi, symbol, transaction)
end loop

Can someone guide me with a more efficient way to place multiuser orders?

Thank you,
Bharath Raj M
