import EdelweissAPIConnect


# Redirect the user to the login url - <https://www.edelweiss.in/api-connect/login?api_key=xxx>
# after the login flow, You will get request_id.

edel = EdelweissAPIConnect.EdelweissAPIConnect("api_key_here", "api_secret", "request_id", True)

# Place an order
response = edel.PlaceTrade('Symbol',

                          'LimitPrice',
                          'ProductCode')

# Fetch all orders
edel.OrderBook()
#Fetch all trades
edel.TradeBook()

A Typical Web Application

In a typical web application where a new instance of views, controllers etc. are created per incoming HTTP request, you will need to initialise a new instance of Edelweiss API Connect client per request as well. This is because each individual instance represents a single user that's authenticated, unlike an admin API where you may use one instance to manage many users. Hence, in your web application, typically: - You will initialise an instance of the Edelweiss client - Redirect the user to the Login URL - At the redirect url endpoint, obtain the request_id from the query parameters - Pass this 'request_id' along with 'api_key' and 'api_secret' at the time of initialization
