Hi,
I use a PHP script to send requests to MtGox, but lately get a lot of empty data back on requests and have to try hundreds or thousands of times before I get actual data back after sending a request. Did anyone experience a similar problem, any idea how to resolve?
The code is here, key and secret removed:
function mtgox_query($path, array $req = array()) {
// API settings
$key = '';
$secret = '';
// generate a nonce as microtime, with as-string handling to avoid problems with 32bits systems
$mt = explode(' ', microtime());
$req['nonce'] = $mt[1].substr($mt[0], 2, 6);
// generate the POST data string
$post_data = http_build_query($req, '', '&');
$prefix = '';
if (substr($path, 0, 2) == '2/') {
$prefix = substr($path, 2)."\0";
}
// generate the extra headers
$headers = array(
'Rest-Key: '.$key,
'Rest-Sign: '.base64_encode(hash_hmac('sha512', $prefix.$post_data, base64_decode($secret), true)),
);
// our curl handle (initialize if required)
static $ch = null;
if (is_null($ch)) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MtGox PHP client; '.php_uname('s').'; PHP/'.phpversion().')');
}
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, '
https://data.mtgox.com/api/'.$path);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, '
https://23.67.8.44/api/'.$path);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
// run the query
$res = curl_exec($ch);
if ($res === false) throw new Exception('Could not get reply: '.curl_error($ch));
$dec = json_decode($res, true);
if (!$dec) throw new Exception('Invalid data received, please make sure connection is working and requested API exists');
return $dec;
print json_encode($dec);
}
?>
Thanks, Dirk.
