If you see “User Not enabled on API”

If validation fails with “Invalid Input : User Not enabled on : API”, it means API access is not yet active for your account at Finvasia. AutoTrader Web cannot enable this — only the broker can.

1. Log in to Finvasia (Shoonya) and make sure API access is turned on for your account, as shown in Step 1 above.
2. If you have just generated the API key, give it some time to become active at the broker before you try again.
3. If it still fails, contact Finvasia and ask them to enable API access for your account.

Once the broker enables it, validate the account again in AutoTrader Web.
