Create a file called logging.json with the following content

{
  "version": 1,
  "disable_existing_loggers": false,
  "formatters": {
    "default": {
      "format": "[%(asctime)s] - [%(levelname)s] - [%(name)s] - [%(funcName)s]:[%(lineno)d] : %(message)s",
      "datefmt":"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
    },
    "json": {
      "()": "logmatic.JsonFormatter",
      "format": "[%(asctime)s] - [%(levelname)s] - [%(name)s] - [%(funcName)s]:[%(lineno)d] : %(message)s",
      "datefmt":"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
    }
  },
  "handlers": {
    "console": {
      "class": "logging.StreamHandler",
      "level": "DEBUG",
      "formatter": "json"
    },
    "file": {
      "class": "logging.FileHandler",
      "level": "DEBUG",
      "formatter": "json",
      "filename": "logs/output_log.json",
      "mode": "w",
      "encoding": "utf-8"
  }
  },
  "loggers": {
  },
  "root": {
    "level": "INFO",
    "handlers": ["console","file"]
    
  }
}

Create a folder called config within the main directory and move the logging.json into config dir
Then run the code

Hello, thanks for this helpful post. I was able to login successfully using above code. But how can I create kiteconnect ( https://github.com/zerodha/pykiteconnect) object and using it as API trading ?
