Bitfinex api v2 error, invalid key
I am trying to make a basic authenticated api call to my new v2 api and get an invalid api key error.
I have reissued api key to check, same error.
from time import time
import urllib.request
import urllib.parse
import hashlib
import hmac
APIkey = b'myapikeyyouarenotsupposedtosee'
secret = b'myceeeeecretkeyyyy'
url = 'https://api.bitfinex.com/v2/auth/r/wallets'
payload = {
#'request':'/auth/r/wallets',
'nonce': int(time() * 1000),
}
paybytes = urllib.parse.urlencode(payload).encode('utf8')
print(paybytes)
sign = hmac.new(secret, paybytes, hashlib.sha512).hexdigest()
print(sign)
headers = {
'Key': APIkey,
'Sign': sign
}
req = urllib.request.Request(url, headers=headers, data=paybytes)
with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as response:
the_page = response.read()
print(the_page)
How do I make an authenticated api call to the new v2 API for bitfinex?

Your headers are wrong. I also tried this and tried to use the sample code from the bitfinex v2 api docs, however their example had an error in that they needed to encode the strings into UTF-8 byte arrays first. So I fixed it and posted the whole example below.
#
# Example Bitfinex API v2 Auth Python Code
#
import requests # pip install requests
import json
import base64
import hashlib
import hmac
import os
import time #for nonce
class BitfinexClient(object):
BASE_URL = "https://api.bitfinex.com/"
KEY = "API_KEY_HERE"
SECRET = "API_SECRET_HERE"
def _nonce(self):
# Returns a nonce
# Used in authentication
return str(int(round(time.time() * 10000)))
def _headers(self, path, nonce, body):
secbytes = self.SECRET.encode(encoding='UTF-8')
signature = "/api/" + path + nonce + body
sigbytes = signature.encode(encoding='UTF-8')
h = hmac.new(secbytes, sigbytes, hashlib.sha384)
hexstring = h.hexdigest()
return {
"bfx-nonce": nonce,
"bfx-apikey": self.KEY,
"bfx-signature": hexstring,
"content-type": "application/json"
}
def req(self, path, params = {}):
nonce = self._nonce()
body = params
rawBody = json.dumps(body)
headers = self._headers(path, nonce, rawBody)
url = self.BASE_URL + path
resp = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=rawBody, verify=True)
return resp
def active_orders(self):
# Fetch active orders
response = self.req("v2/auth/r/orders")
if response.status_code == 200:
return response.json()
else:
print('error, status_code = ', response.status_code)
return ''
# fetch all your orders and print out
client = BitfinexClient()
result = client.active_orders()
print(result)

Why not use one of the open source api clients? and you can compare with your work. https://github.com/scottjbarr/bitfinex https://github.com/tuberculo/bitfinex
