Run sample program met 403 error.

[archerhu77]

I try to run the program on this page, but met following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "p.py", line 102, in main(sys.argv[1:]) File "p.py", line 60, in main currentValues = conn.api_query("returnTicker") File "/root/poloniex.py", line 36, in api_query ret = urllib2.urlopen(urllib2.Request('https://poloniex.com/public?command=' + command)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 437, in open response = meth(req, response) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 550, in http_response 'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 475, in error return self._call_chain(args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 409, in _call_chain result = func(args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 558, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp) urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

How can I solve this problem?

[awratten]

Is it probably something to do with the API Key?

[archerhu77]

The API what downloaded from poloniex, is named poloniex.py and place in same directory.

[awratten]

in botchart.py you need to enter your API key & Secret into the following line: self.conn = poloniex('key goes here','key goes here')

the format is: 'Api Key', 'Secret'

the poloniex.py should not need to be changed at all from the original code.

let me know if you need any more information.

[archerhu77]

place my keys like following still met same error. conn = poloniex('MyKey', 'My Secret')

if I use self.conn then met error: NameError: global name 'self' is not defined

[awratten]

Could you please post all your code?

The self. Is because it's inside a class.

If everything fails you should try using the alternative Poloniex API wrapper: 'pip install https://github.com/s4w3d0ff/python-poloniex/archive/v0.4.4.zip'

Then use: 'from poloniex import Poloniex'

I had use my key and secrect, but when I run python trade-bot.py, it always met 403 error.

[awratten]

At the moment the trading bot is not implemented... Only the backtest feature is active in the latest version.

You'll add the API key and secret into "botchart.py"

Then run backtest.py

[bwentzloff]

Ill make this more clear tomorrow and clean some things up. I'll also add a README with setup instructions. Thanks for answering these questions, Anthony.

@bwentzloff Could you write some tips(or individual code sample) that how can use poloniex python API to do individual things like: receive tick from poloniex, place an order, cancel order, receive information of trade from exchange, etc. And do you know is there any simulation trading interface in poloniex for test?

[archerhu77]

@bwentzloff Could you?

I ma having same problem. and i am running python 2.7
