Unable to update Forever Orders

APIs, Automation, Algos & Code

I am writing a script to update forever orders in my account as per Forever Order - DhanHQ Ver 2.0 / API Document

Request:
curl -X PUT “https://api.dhan.co/v2/forever/orders/5132507282049” -H “Accept:application/json, text/plain, /” -H “Content-Type:undefined” -H “access-token:PUT_MY_TOKEN_HERE” --data ‘{“dhanClientId”:“PUT_CLIENT_ID_HERE”,“orderId”:“5132507282049”,“orderFlag”:“SINGLE”,“orderType”:“STOP_LOSS”,“legName”:“ENTRY_LEG”,“quantity”:6,“price”:1939.4,“triggerPrice”:1939.3,“disclosedQuantity”:0,“validity”:“DAY”}’

I keep getting below error
{“errorType”:“Input_Exception”,“errorCode”:“DH-905”,“errorMessage”:“Missing required fields, bad values for parameters etc.”}

Kindly help here. Error is too generic to understand what is going wrong.

I am passing all the required paramters in payload as per documentation. Kindly let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

Hi @niteenautade, try with the below modifications :

Field Valid Example
orderType "LIMIT" or "MARKET"
orderFlag "SINGLE" or "OCO"
legName "TARGET_LEG" or "STOP_LOSS_LEG"
triggerPrice Required for SL leg
validity "DAY" only
Content-Type Must be "application/json"

@Mohseen_Usmani I want to update forever order that have transactionType = BUY.
I believe legName “TARGET_LEG” or “STOP_LOSS_LEG” are for Sell forever orders.
Please correct me if I am not wrong

@Mohseen_Usmani Even with the modifications you mentioned, it is giving same error

{
orderId: ‘5132507282049’,
error: {
errorType: ‘Input_Exception’,
errorCode: ‘DH-905’,
errorMessage: ‘Missing required fields, bad values for parameters etc.’
}
}

There is no legName called ENTRY_LEG in the documention. I think the API doesn’t allow us to modify entry leg of a forever order as of now.

@t7support The documentation mentions that ENTRY_LEG is supported.

Hey @t7support @niteenautade

Over here, you can use TARGET_LEG and STOP_LOSS_LEG for modifying Forever Order. You can check the same here: Dhan API

Will update the documentation here as well.
