I want to connect my KaaIOT cloud and subscribe a topic to show result from terminal. I do not know where to get the topic name to subscribe with. I had read the KaaIOT documentation but still cannot have a clear idea on it. Could someone help me with a sample code for me to reference?

I have established a communication with EMQX broker by using MQTT protocol. But I don't know about KaaIoT much but this might help you. As I went through your code, I didn't see the part where you have subscribed to the topic(correct me if I am wrong). You can refer this. I have implemented the sub pub model and below is the subscriber code which runs fine for EMQX broker. You can try it for KaaIoT.
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
import time
import logging
def on_connect(client, userdata, flags, rc):
logging.info("Connected flags"+str(flags)+"result code " + str(rc)+ "client1_id")
client.connected_flag=True
def on_message(client, userdata, message):
print("Received message: " ,str(message.payload.decode("utf-8")))
def on_disconnect(client, userdata, rc):
if rc != 0:
print("Unexpected MQTT disconnection. Will auto-reconnect")
client = mqtt.Client('''Your client id string''')
client.connect("mqtt.cloud.kaaiot.com", 1883, 60)
client.subscribe('''Your topic name (mentioned where data is published)''',qos=1)
client.on_connect = on_connect
client.on_message=on_message
client.on_disconnect = on_disconnect
client.loop_forever()
