Description

Issue when attempting to connect to Coinbase Advanced Trade.

Error: AuthenticationError: coinbase GET https://api.coinbase.com/api/v3/brokerage/products 401 Unauthorized Unauthorized

I have tried with both apiKey and Secret simplified or the full text shown when generating the API.

Code

import ccxt

# Connects to Binance
exchange = ccxt.coinbase({
    'apiKey': "organizations/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/apiKeys/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
    'secret': "-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----\nXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\nXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX//XXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX\nXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==\n-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
})


# Define lot sizes for each symbol
lot_sizes = {'BTC/USDT:USDT': 0.001,
             'ETH/USDT:USDT': 0.01,
             'DOGE/USDT:USDT': 100,
             'BNB/USDT:USDT': 0.01,
             'ADA/USDT:USDT': 10,
             'EGLD/USDT:USDT': 0.01,
             'MATIC/USDT:USDT': 10,
             'TRX/USDT:USDT': 100,
             'LTC/USDT:USDT': 0.1,
             'SOL/USDT:USDT': 0.1}

# Get the account balance
balance = exchange.fetch_balance()
total_funds = float(balance['total']['USDT'])
#print(balance['info'])
print(total_funds)

Hello @tazengineering, cloud keys support was introduced recently, so you need to update your ccxt version to get it

[tazengineering]

Hi @carlosmiei

I have updated to ccxt-4.2.100 and the issue persists.

[carlosmiei]

@tazengineering Can you please double-check your api keys/permissions/ip restrictions/etc?
I'm using it right now and seems to be working

[tazengineering]

@carlosmiei

Thank you for taking the time to support me.

Are you using the same format for API key and secret I shared?

I removed completely any IP restrictions.

Where do you setup permissions from?

Regards
Ciprian

@tazengineering I'm using the keys from the file coinbase provides upon creating the keys

And I'm creating them here: https://portal.cloud.coinbase.com/access/api?keyType=trade&referrer=advanced_trade

Guys, sorry, must the secret key set as parameter "as is"?
I'm getting in PHP (version 4.2.100) in BigInteger.php error, because secret key transmitted to it as is - with "BEGIN PRIVATE KEY" etc.

[carlosmiei]

@KRV1 Are you reading the keys from a file? Can you check if the \n are properly escaped?

[carlosmiei]

@KRV1 Can you try to parse your secret doing this?

$private_key = str_replace('\n', "\n", $private_key);

[KRV1]

@carlosmiei Thank you, yes problem was in the carriage return symbol
Seems it works now

[tazengineering]

Thank you @carlosmiei

Unfortunately I could not manage to make it work in Python.

I see you have yours using .json and split into multiple keys - where I only have 'apiKey' and 'secret' key.

exchange = ccxt.coinbase({
    'apiKey': "organizations/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/apiKeys/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
    'secret': "-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----\nXXXXXXXXXXXXX==XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==XXXXX\nXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==XXXXXXXXXXXXXX\nXXXXXXXXX==XXXXXXXXXX==XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==XXXXXXXXXX==\n-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
})

issue is persisting for me

I am having the same issue as well. There doesn't seem to be anything conclusive anywhere I've looked. This seems to be a CB issue because there are many questions about it

[bradym05]

I thought this was a CB issue as well so I decided to try using the CB advanced trade SDK. It works perfectly so I'm no longer using ccxt, hopefully this gets fixed.
