Error Authenticating Kucoin Sandbox

See original GitHub issue

Language: Javascript (Node) Version number: 12.20.1 CCXT lib version number: ccxt@1.42.45 Exchange: Kucoin

kucoin = ccxt.kucoin({
apiKey: "",
secret: "",
password: ""
})
kucoin.setSandboxMode(true)
const fetchedPositions = await kucoin.fetchBalance()
console.log(fetchedPositions)

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: AuthenticationError: Invalid KC-API-PASSPHRASE

I have checked multiple times, and I am sure I am using the correct apiKey, secret, and password. The live version authenticates fine

@kroitor Thanks for testing it out. Let me know if KuCoin responds to you

@kroitor Thanks for the response. No, it does not answer my question. Before reporting the issue, I created a separate keypair at the sandbox link you shared, and it is giving me the error I shared above. I did not use live keys with the testnet. I used sandbox keys with the testnet and tried it two times with two separate accounts just to be sure.

I mentioned that the “live version authenticates fine” for context. I used the live keypair to check for that.

Can you confirm this on your end and let me know if the Kucoin sandbox works for you with a testnet keypair? Also, it will be great if you keep the issue open until you confirm that the sandbox works for you.
