Topic: Trade API check? BTC-e (Read 3401 times)
Hello everyone! Did anybody solve this problem? I'm stuck with on it. I've made a VBA code to get my balance, but I always get a "invalid sign" error message.
Java. Don't have any Windows stuff.
https://github.com/ReAzem/cryptocoin-tradelib/blob/master/modules/btc_e/src/de/andreas_rueckert/trade/site/btc_e/client/BtcEClient.java
There might be some updates, since I work on newer code here. But no real bugs were fixed in the btc-e implementation AFAIK. In doubt let me know, and I will do a diff.

which programming language are you using? VBA?
I feel sorry for you. I can only offer you to compare your values to the ones of my implementation. It seems to work ok.
I tested the nonce...the generator is fine, it matches the values I get in python.
The most bizarre thing is that the code always returned "Invalid Sign". Then, suddenly, it worked twice and returned my account balances. But after that, never more, only the "Invalid Sign"...

I thought about the nonce. That's a problem, that could appear here and then. But you should get a different error message then...
We're not sending any amount, we're using the getInfo function, there are no variables to send.
The things that bothers me the most is that I compared the execution step-by-step with a python code that I have (which works). All the data, from signature to data posted are exactly the same! But in the VBA one I always get the same error of wrong signature. I tried other APIs as well (Bitfinex and MercadoBitcoin) both of them returned the same Invalid Signature. But again, all the values and signatures calculated matched what I had in python.
So my guess is, the way VBA send the POST via WinHttpRequest probably is screwing something up...

Wrong amount?
I just got in the same situation as you rijnsent: most of the time the code doesn't work and give back the message "invalid sign". But out-of-the-blue, it works for 1 to 2 times and then it gets back to returning errors.
I really have no idea on how to solve this...
Your last post was in Jan...have you solved it since then?
Anybody got ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Sapphire/all,
I'm indeed starting with a "simple" getInfo or TransHistory, hopefully later I could enter or cancel a trade... But for now my default response is {"success":0,"error":"invalid sign"}. The most bizarre thing: yesterday I tried running it and all of a sudden I got a positive answer back twice: {"success":1,"return":{"funds":{"usd":0,etc...), in between those answers were some 20 failed runs of exactly that same macro... I double checked my hasher with your example (and one I could find online) and my hash-function now works like a charm.
What I tried:
-generate a new keypair at BTC-e
-tried getInfo and TransHistory
-I even tried "method=BogusMethod&nonce=12345678", that too came back with {"success":0,"error":"invalid sign"}
So I assume that my SHA512 hasher does something wrong, but the 2 successful responses are weird...
Anybody a clue?
Thanks,
Koen

rijnset, oh sorry, didn't notice yours is base64.
daybyter, this is definitely not related to amounts. He is just trying "getInfo" method
Maybe base64 is the reason? In my code I send just hex encoded return of hmac. Try it without base64.

One of the other possibilities is the format of your amount or price. If you want to buy -1 btc or 1,0 btc (notice the colon ','versus the dot '.'), there is also a good chance to get this error. Also limit the numbers to 5 digits in the fraction part usually.
So this 'sign' is not necessarily the sign of your encryption.

Hey Sapphire,
thanks, that was a pointer I could use! It seems that my result was Base64 and yours a Hex, but they are basically the same, just translated differently (from bytes)
! The nasty thing is that I still get the "invalid sign" reply, so there must be something else wrong...
Cheers,
Koen

Calculating HMAC from "method=getInfo&nonce=1390391080" with key "MySecretKey" using SHA512 I get sign:
e839870a8dc7c648926520b9efbbf1ee9c9c1766cabd11cfe09013071a71886032a9548515e52e2 a5b5e27a9761b26745f025f7df53f9d99c999602d3eb9af1c
Which is different from yours.
And your HTTP request code looks correct. So I guess there is something wrong in your sign calculation.

Hi all,
I'm trying to get a POST command to work on BTC-e, but keep getting an "invalid sign" response. My GET on the public API works like a charm. So I'm wondering if my SHA512 calculation is messed up (working in VBA/Excel) or if I'm doing something else wrong? My main question would be: with APIKey "MyApiKey", SecretKey "MySecretKey" and postdata being "method=getInfo&nonce=1390391080", is my Sign correct?
For test purposes:
APIkey = "MyApiKey" (yes, this should be something else)
SecretKey = "MySecretKey" (this too)
TradeApiSite = "https://btc-e.com/tapi"
postData= "method=getInfo&nonce=1390391080"
And the resulting calculated Sign:
Sign (SHA512): 6DmHCo3HxkiSZSC577vx7pycF2bKvRHP4JATBxpxiGAyqVSFFeUuKlteJ6l2GyZ0XwJfffU/nZnJmWAtPrmvHA==
And the bit of code I use:
And the result:
{"success":0,"error":"invalid sign"}
Thanks for any pointers,
Koen
