What to put into OANDA_ACCOUNT=

[hoverlord]

Hi,

I opened up an Acc at Oanda and got the api key. But what value is supposed to be put in at OANDA_ACCOUNT=?

[rxmg-joeldg]

You will need to get the Oanda API tokens from Oanda

[hoverlord]

I got that solved: OANDA_ACCOUNT means your accountID, you will get it in the e-mail when you open a "real" trading account

I keep getting this following error when running the streaming.py script

{
	"code" : 1,
	"message" : "Invalid or malformed argument: accountId",
	"moreInfo" : "http:\/\/developer.oanda.com\/docs\/v1\/troubleshooting\/#errors"
}

I'm using the demo environment and the Account ID I received for my "real" trading account. I can't sign into my "real" account until it's checked, I think. Is there a different Account ID for the demo account? I've tried all combinations of API key & account ID, but still no luck...

I had the same issue but used account number in my demo account under the fxpractice account as the account ID but I get oanda failed state error, the account token I generated

I just signed up today and it looks like they are no longer allowing v1 accounts to be added.

You can get v2 accounts like this

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer XXXX-XXXX" https://api-fxpractice.oanda.com/v3/accounts

For the missing account ID on Demo accounts. Log into your demo account, click on "My Account" in the top right (if you're not already on your My Account page). There should be something for Add Sub-Accounts. Click on it. You should then be looking at a screen to add a new sub account. On the left side there should be a list for exiting sub accounts. You should have one there already with a balance. Mine had $100,000.00. Click on that and then you should see the account ID in the Account Summary section on the right. It should look something like "101-001-5249467-001". If you use an account with no balance you may get a new error. Good luck!

I don't know if I've ever seen a worse User Experience than Oanda's...

I got my account ID using that method but I still get an exception "pyoanda.exceptions.BadRequest: OCode-400: Invalid or malformed resource identifier: accountId"

I had this issue when using the pyoanda library, but it worked for me when I switched to oandapyV20.
