I'm trying to access the Mt Gox REST API using http-conduit . Queries that just have a path (eg https://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker ) work fine, but when I add a queryString to the request it times out.
So this works:
mtGoxRequest :: String -> QueryText -> Request m
mtGoxRequest p qt = def {
secure = True,
host = "data.mtgox.com",
port = 443,
method = "GET",
path = fromString $ "api/2/" ++ p,
queryString = renderQuery False $ queryTextToQuery qt,
responseTimeout = Just 10000000
}
currencyTicker :: Request m
currencyTicker = mtGoxRequest "BTCUSD/money/ticker" []
But this times out:
tradeStream :: Currency -> UTCTime -> Request m
tradeStream t = mtGoxRequest
"BTCUSD/money/trades/fetch"
[("since", Just $ T.pack $ utcToGoxTime t)]
The difference seems to be in the use of a queryString: when I added the bogus query "foo=bar" to the currencyTicker that timed out too.
However all this works fine in the web browser: going to https://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker?foo=bar instantly returns the correct error message instead of timing out. The trade fetch URL works as well, although I won't include a link because the "since" argument says how far back to go. Conversely, if I remove the queryString from the trades list request it correctly returns the entire available trade history.
So something about the http-conduit query string is obviously different. Anyone know what it might be?
Here is the Haskell Request object being sent (as printed by "Show"):
Request {
host = "data.mtgox.com"
port = 443
secure = True
clientCertificates = []
requestHeaders = []
path = "api/2/BTCUSD/money/trades/fetch"
queryString = "since=1367142721624293"
requestBody = RequestBodyLBS Empty
method = "GET"
proxy = Nothing
rawBody = False
redirectCount = 10
responseTimeout = Just 10000000
}
According to its returned headers Mt Gox is using cloudflare-nginx and PHP 5.
Edit: Forgot to mention that when I use http-conduit to send a request with a queryString to http://scooterlabs.com/echo I get the correct response as well, so it seems to be some interaction between the Mt Gox webserver and http-conduit.
Got it figured out. You need to add a User-Agent string. So
requestHeaders = [(CI.mk "User-Agent", "Test/0.0.1")],
in the middle of the request function makes it work.
$ time curl https://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/trades/fetch?since=1367142721624293
...
real 0m20.993s
Looks to me like everything is working correctly: the API call takes a while to return, so http-conduit throws a timeout exception since 20s is longer than 10s.
