Authorization Issue #5

Open ngopal opened 5 years ago

ngopal commented 5 years ago

Could be something silly, but I keep receiving an authorization issue when running tick_taker.py.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/root/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/nats/aio/client.py", line 285, in connect yield from self._process_connect_init() File "/root/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/nats/aio/client.py", line 1556, in _process_connect_init raise NatsError("nats: " + err_msg.rstrip('\r\n')) nats.aio.errors.NatsError: nats: 'Authorization Violation'

I've tried entering my key and secret on both the commandline as arguments to the python script, and setting them as environment variables. The key and secret exactly match what I see in the web interface.

Any ideas?

Are you using the API keys for Live Trading or Paper Trading? This trading algorithm uses the Polygon streaming API which requires API keys generated for Live Trading. This is so the hft algorithm can stream data via NATS streaming through Polygon.
