Hi @Tradehull_Imran ,
Despite trying eveything getting the above error: is there anyting i am missing?

First tried format:
‘’’
def create_order_payload(transaction_type, securityId, quantity=QUANTITY):
try:
# Convert securityId to native int if possible
securityId = int(securityId)
except Exception as e:
print(f"[{datetime.now()}] Warning: Could not convert securityId {securityId} to int: {e}")
return {
“dhanClientId”: client_code,
“correlationId”: str(uuid.uuid4()),
“transactionType”: transaction_type, # “BUY” or “SELL”
“exchangeSegment”: exchangeSegment,
“productType”: productType,
“orderType”: “MARKET”,
“validity”: “DAY”,
“securityId”: securityId,
“quantity”: quantity,
“disclosedQuantity”: “”,
“price”: 0,
“triggerPrice”: 0,
“afterMarketOrder”: False,
“amoTime”: “”,
“boProfitValue”: “”,
“boStopLossValue”: “”
}
‘’’
2nd Format Tried:
‘’’
def create_order_payload(security_id, exchange_segment, transaction_type, quantity, order_type, product_type, price=0):
payload = {
“security_id”: int(security_id),
“exchange_segment”: exchange_segment,
“transaction_type”: transaction_type,
“quantity”: quantity,
“order_type”: order_type,
“product_type”: product_type,
“price”: price, # 0 for market order
“correlation_id”: str(uuid.uuid4()), # generate a unique correlation id
“validity”: “DAY” # you can adjust if needed
}
return payload
‘’’
If anyone can help, would be really great.

HI @GideonDhan , how did you fix your issue. Im trying to place order thru URL with same data format you have shown abv, still getting DH-905 error. below is my code, could you please help on what im missing?

url_order =‘https://api.dhan.co/v2/orders’
ord_data= {
“dhanClientId”:api_key,
“transactionType”:“BUY”,
“exchangeSegment”:“NSE_EQ”,
“productType”:“CNC”,
“orderType”:“MARKET”,
“validity”:“DAY”,
“securityId”:21174,
“quantity”:1,
“price”:0.0,
“after_market_order” : True

}
df_order = requests.request(“POST”,url_order,headers=headers,data= ord_data).json()

below error message when I run abv code

Change seucrityId to a string instead of int and try.

sdp.jd · February 16, 2025, 2:56pm

Thank you for your immd reply. Corrected securityid to string but still same error. attaching screenshot.

syedasif11 · February 16, 2025, 3:29pm

“amoTime” field was missing. Try below code:

import requests
import json

access_token: str = "your_access_token"

order_data = {
    "dhanClientId": "99999999999", # your client id
    "transactionType": "BUY",
    "exchangeSegment": "NSE_EQ",
    "productType": "CNC",
    "orderType": "MARKET",
    "validity": "DAY",
    "securityId": "21174",
    "quantity": 1,
    "price": 0.0,
    "afterMarketOrder": True,
    "amoTime": "OPEN"
}

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.dhan.co/v2/orders",
    headers={
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "access-token": access_token
    },
    data=json.dumps(order_data)  # Convert dictionary to JSON string
)

print(response.json())  # Print response as JSON

Thanks Syed. tried adding amoTime, but still same error.

sdp.jd · February 17, 2025, 3:26pm

@Hardik @Dhan , could you please help me on the abv code. looks like this code works for others but not for me.

Thanks for your support as always

Hello @sdp.jd

Are you trying to place AMO order, after market or is it something you are just trying this?

sdp.jd · February 18, 2025, 1:41pm

Hi Hardik, i was trying to place AMO orders on weekend, i was getting this error. Today(18-Feb) tried during market hours with below data still throws same error

order_data = {
“dhanClientId”: api_key, # your client id
“transactionType”: “BUY”,
“exchangeSegment”: “NSE_EQ”,
“productType”: “CNC”,
“orderType”: “MARKET”,
“validity”: “DAY”,
“securityId”: “12018”,
“quantity”: 5,
“price”: 0.0
}

Can you enter logging in python and share the JSON request that is generated. Also, do check if the Client ID is being passed correctly.

sdp.jd · February 19, 2025, 9:54am

my client id is correct, im able to retrieve my holdings & positions.
not sure about generated JSON request, attaching the screen shot. is this what you are referring?

Hardik · February 21, 2025, 7:39am

Need the json that you are generating in the logs. Otherwise the code looks good. Also, do check if the security ID is correct.

syedasif11 · February 21, 2025, 9:34pm

The data you are passing to the request function is a Python dictionary. You need to convert it to JSON first, like:

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.dhan.co/v2/orders",
    headers={
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "access-token": access_token
    },
    data=json.dumps(order_data)  # Convert dictionary to JSON string
)

or just pass order data to json parameter like:

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.dhan.co/v2/orders",
    headers={
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "access-token": access_token
    },
    json=order_data  # Pass dictionary directly
)

Thank you very much @syedasif11 @Hardik , its working.
