Insufficient authorization to perform request

[uelel]

import pytz
import btoandav20
import v20

with open('token', 'r') as tokenFile:
    token = tokenFile.read().replace('\n', '')
oandastore = btoandav20.stores.OandaV20Store(token=token, account='001-004-3121847-001', practice=True)
print(oandastore.getbroker())

It is not possible to authenticate via OandaV20Store object. The output is: GET https://api-fxpractice.oanda.com:443/v3/accounts/001-004-3121847-001/summary expected status 200, got 401 (Unauthorized) Insufficient authorization to perform request.

The debug log of this snippet is here.

The authentication to Oanda API is possible (according to this page) thus the token is correct.

btoandav20 is installed together with pyyaml 5.1.2, v20 3.0.25.0, backtrader 1.9.74.123

Where should I look for the problem?

It seems most likely that your processed token from file is incorrect. Check if your code works with providing the token as a string instead of reading it from file. The authentication itself works, so I close this issue.

The error still persists when provided the token as a string. Can you please hint the code line in boandav20 that controls creating GET request for https://api-fxpractice.oanda.com:443/v3/accounts/{accountNo}/summary (as stated in my error message?)?

Here is the line

You may also try to generate a new Token and give it a try. Also ensure you provide the correct credentials for your practice account (since the example you provided is using a practice account)

Indeed, a wrong account has been provided (fxpractice). fxpractice URL should be called in case of demo account and fxtrade in case of trade account. Thank you for your help!

I am glad you worked it out!

For a practice account you would set practice=True, for a live account practice=False. No need to set any urls, since the endpoints are hardcoded already.

Practice Account oandastore = btoandav20.stores.OandaV20Store(token=YYY, account=XXX, practice=True)

Live Account oandastore = btoandav20.stores.OandaV20Store(token=YYY, account=XXX, practice=False)
