Authorization Error #7

Closed phal0r closed 5 years ago

phal0r commented 5 years ago

Hey everyone,

thanks for this nice tool. I would like to use alpaca paper trading data, but I always get the following error:

nats.aio.errors.NatsError: nats: 'Authorization Violation'

I am just running a basic example with (triple checked) valid api key and api secret for the paper api. Could you point me in the right direction to resolve this issue?

I am using the latest backtrader, Python 3.7 and pipenv.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I'm having the same error. Latest backtrader. Running Linux Mint 19, Python 3.6.7. Do you have an update?

This now runs fine. You need access to polygon, which you get when you setup a live account.

Thanks for figuring this out. It is nowhere mentioned in the docs unfortunately.

Why it isn't possible to use alpaca-backtrader-api in paper mode as it described in readme ?? And in fact the code contains paper API urls... But I get nats.aio.errors.NatsError: nats: 'Authorization Violation' error and I want to use just paper-api without access to polygon
