当连接到 coinbase（和 coinbase 沙箱）时收到 {'message': 'Invalid API Key'} 错误代码 Python

Question

I am using the following demo code (written in Python 3.x ) to attempt to connect to the Coinbase Sandbox. Below is the code I have been following. I keep getting {'message': 'Invalid API Key'} errors. I have created API keys twice on the sandbox site: https://public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com/ but nothing is working.

What am I doing wrong? Any help, hints or advice would be appreciated.

TIA

import json, hmac, hashlib, time, requests, base64
from requests.auth import AuthBase

# Before implementation, set environmental variables with the names API_KEY and API_SECRET

APIKEY = 'XXXXXXX-API'
API_PASS = 'rXXd0XX8XX'
API_SECRET = b'h2IUKbXXXXXXXXXXKL2d9XXXXXXXXXXWde5u+zcXXXXXXXXXXXXGJ8YqD8TXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX3dqM8pXXXXX8w=='

# Create custom authentication for Exchange
class CoinbaseExchangeAuth(AuthBase):

        self.api_key = api_key
        self.secret_key = secret_key
        self.passphrase = passphrase

    def __call__(self, request):
        timestamp = str(time.time())
        message = timestamp + request.method + request.path_url + (request.body or b'').decode()
        hmac_key = base64.b64decode(self.secret_key)
        signature = hmac.new(hmac_key, message.encode(), hashlib.sha256)
        signature_b64 = base64.b64encode(signature.digest()).decode()

        })
        return request

api_url = 'https://api-public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com/'
auth = CoinbaseExchangeAuth(APIKEY, API_SECRET,  API_PASS)


# Get accounts
r = requests.get(api_url + 'accounts', auth=auth)
print(r.json())
# [{"id": "a1b2c3d4", "balance":...

# Place an order
order = {
    'size': 1.0,
    'price': 1.0,
    'side': 'buy',
    'product_id': 'BTC-USD',
}
r = requests.post(api_url + 'orders', json=order, auth=auth)
print(r.json())

Answer 1

My mistake. Was not using the right number for the API Key

Answer 2

BTW, just for anyone else coming here: the Sandbox environment has DIFFERENT authorization keys, so you can't use the normal API Key, you have to create a new one. :)

Answer 3

I have had trouble finding a working solution in Python to get Coinbase Pro to authorize my API key I created. The original posters code worked with my API key values and changing out of the Sandbox environment (I am not using Sandbox, for this question it is appropriate value).

api_url = 'https://api.exchange.coinbase.com/'

Every other post I tried would give me stuff like:

key: expected bytes or bytearray, but got 'str'

I think this issue was resolved with the b in the line:

API_SECRET = b'h2IUKbXXXXXXXXXXKL2d9XXXXXXXXXXWde5u+zcXXXXXXXXXXXXGJ8YqD8TXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX3dqM8pXXXXX8w=='

making it the expected bytes instead of str . Thank you for this post.
