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

My personal client ID is B133022

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,

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.
