Got this error, i have the API keys as mentioned in the blog, can you tell me what might be the issue here?

[Rybens92]

I have exactly the same error when API keys aren't provided to the program correctly.

How do you provide the keys? (but obviously don't share them if you want show example)

Also do you use correct ones? API keys for testnet and live are seperate, you can get them in 2 different places

[AlphaNumeric99]

I only have the test keys not live keys. Let me see if environment variables are the issue here

[AlphaNumeric99]

Ok so if i put the keys directly not using the os.getenv it seems to work, maybe some issue from environment setup from my side.

[Rybens92]

If that would help anyone using Windows, this is a bat file I am using:

SET "binance_api_stalkbot_testnet=key" SET "binance_secret_stalkbot_testnet=key"

SET "binance_api_stalkbot_live=key" SET "binance_secret_stalkbot_live=key"

python news-analysis.py

Just replace "key" word with your API keys and save it in bot's folder
