Topic: Kraken API example in Python (Read 7659 times)
Hi,
I'm having trouble getting access to Kraken's private API. I don't understand how to create the API signature. If somebody could post an example, if possible in Python, I'd be very grateful.
This is the description on their website on how to create the signature:

API-Sign = Message signature using HMAC-SHA512 of (URI path + SHA256(nonce + POST data)) and base64 decoded secret API key
Omnibrain,
I'm not sure this will help since I haven't looked at it carefully, but here's the only example python code I know of for Kraken API.

The above is linked from here
http://krakenapi.everdot.org/API/
which may also be useful.
But be careful since all this documentation is old. You may be able to make some headway by comparing it with Kraken's newer documentation. Good luck!
