Bitfinex margin info errors on both bitfinex.py and bitfinex2.py

• OS: *
• Programming Language version: ptyhon
• CCXT version: 593 and newer
• Exchange: bitfinex + bitfinex2
• Method: bitfinex.private_post_margin_infos & bitfinex2.privatePostAuthRInfoMarginKey

Hi,

So I’m running into a weird issue. I setup bitfinex with bitfinex = ccxt.bitfinex() then I setup the keys.

I try to get the margin balance, so I use this code:

account_balance = bitfinex.private_post_margin_infos()[0]['margin_balance']

For my old bitfinex account this just works, but if I create a new one (or other users try my code and create a new account) they run into this error:

bitfinex https://api.bitfinex.com/v1/margin_infos POST 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error for url: https://api.bitfinex.com/v1/margin_infos 

I really can’t get my head around why it works with my key that’s a year old or so and not with new keys. Bitfinex themselves are looking into this issue too, do you guys think it’s a bug on their side?

The second issue I’m having is with the bitfinex2 code. Because bitfinex.py is not working I’m trying this as the exception:

bitfinex2.privatePostAuthRInfoMarginKey()

But the response I’m getting is this:

bitfinex2 https://api.bitfinex.com/v2/auth/r/info/margin/{key} POST 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error for url: https://api.bitfinex.com/v2/auth/r/info/margin/%7Bkey%7D ["error",10020,"key: invalid"]

Is this an error on my side or is this an error on the bitfinex side?

Thanks for the help and the advice!! 😃

Bitfinex actually already answered:

Yes we have actually identified the issue. It does seem to be related to the age of the account (I.E newer accounts are experiencing this issue).  A patch will be rolled out tomorrow. Thanks for the detailed issue analysis.

I just tested it… seems to work now!
