Python code for login using mechanizer stopped working since this week(~25 March).

diptesh1ce3 in Python client 
def login():
br = mechanize.Browser()
 
   url = "https://kite.trade/connect/login?v=3&api_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXX"
   br.set_handle_robots(False)  # no robots
   br.set_handle_refresh(False)  # can sometimes hang without this
 
   response = br.open(url)
Same code was working fine and returning expected response. but it's returning 
raise response
mechanize._response.httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
at response = br.open(url) line.

    I have verified that my app for api_key is valid and active, expiring on 24th April.

    How are you reading request token? Are you doing substring or reading query param?

    It's not reaching to any token exchange part. above code will just return the page where we login in with kite ID and password but I am getting 403 at this stage only.

    When we open URL "https://kite.trade/connect/login?v=3&api_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXX", does kite expect any other parameters ?

    Does this path require any specific headers ?

    Looks like lot of changes have happened in the login process and internal API's being used for login hence mechanizer stopped working. i was using python requests library to do the same and have re-coded my authentication code. PM me in case you need any help on the authenticator python/C# code.

    @diptesh1ce3,
    It is mandatory by the exchange that a user has to manually login at least once a day. We don't recommend automating login
