How to get started

[ronin225]

Hi.

I have installed the GDAX libary, and created my CoinBase API key.

I tried to run the first code example:

//create an authenticator with your apiKey, apiSecret and passphrase var authenticator = new Authenticator("", "", "");

//create the CoinbasePro client var coinbaseProClient = new CoinbasePro.CoinbaseProClient(authenticator);

//use one of the services var allAccounts = await coinbaseProClient.AccountsService.GetAllAccountsAsync();

However it does not compile in Visual Studio 2019, and I recieve this error:

Error CS4033 The 'await' operator can only be used within an async method. Consider marking this method with the 'async' modifier and changing its return type to 'Task'. ConsoleApp1 C:\Users\xxx\source\repos\ConsoleApp1\ConsoleApp1\Program.cs 24 Active

I would very much appreciate any help with this. Many thanks.

Complete code:

using CoinbasePro.Network.Authentication;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ConsoleApp1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            //create an authenticator with your apiKey, apiSecret and passphrase
            var authenticator = new Authenticator("xxx", "xxx", "xxx");

            //create the CoinbasePro client
            var coinbaseProClient = new CoinbasePro.CoinbaseProClient(authenticator);

            //use one of the services 
            var allAccounts = await coinbaseProClient.AccountsService.GetAllAccountsAsync();

            foreach (var myscore in allAccounts)
            {
                string myresult = allAccounts.ToString();
                Console.WriteLine(myresult);

            }

        }
    }
}

Output:

Error CS4033 The 'await' operator can only be used within an async method. Consider marking this method with the 'async' modifier and changing its return type to 'Task'. ConsoleApp1 C:\Users\xxx\source\repos\ConsoleApp1\ConsoleApp1\Program.cs 24 Active

This can now be closed, the correct code which worked for me was:

var allAccounts = coinbaseProClient.AccountsService.GetAllAccountsAsync().Result;

Also if you have trouble with invalid API key, it should infact be the random letters generated by CoinBase and shown ABOVE nickname, NOT the name you give it.
