I’m trying to place an order using dhan python library:

dhan.place_order(security_id='35498',
    exchange_segment=dhan.NSE_FNO,
    transaction_type=dhan.BUY,
    quantity=50,
    order_type=dhan.MARKET,
    product_type=dhan.INTRA,
    price=0)

I keep getting the following error:

{'status': 'failure',
 'remarks': {'error_code': 'RS-9005', 'message': ' todo mandatory fields '},
 'data': ''}

Please help.

Hello @anamika

Welcomet to Dhan Community! Excited to know you are exploring Dhan APIs for your trading.

Looks like you are trying to place order for Bank Nifty, which has a lot size of 15. So you need to enter quantity as 15 or in multiples of 15.

We are working on improving the error messages meanwhile.
