Client Access Not working for Instruments call or any data call #196

Closed kiann00 closed 1 year ago

kiann00 commented 1 year ago

Hi there,

I followed your example to try to extract the Instrument data to test my connection. It seems just the API token is not enough?

I am getting this error message : {"errorMessage":"Insufficient authorization to perform request."}

import oandapyV20
import oandapyV20.endpoints.instruments as instruments

client = oandapyV20.API(access_token= 'XXX')
params = {
  "count": 5,
  "granularity": "M5"
}

r = instruments.InstrumentsCandles(instrument="DE30_EUR", params= params)
client.request(r)

Definitely a token issue. In case you use a live account you need to specify that when creating your client instance.

client = oandapyV20.API(access_token= 'XXX', environment="live")

Use r.response to get the data returned or use rv = client.request(r) and have the response value in rv

In case this was on a non-live account: drop the token and generate a new one
