I’m getting this error, I deleted the old api and generated a new one but still the same error. The code is below :

import ccxt

bitmex = ccxt.bitmex({'apiKey':'keyhere', 'secret':'secrethere'})

print bitmex.fetch_balance()

Is there a way that I can run the testnet keys?

Yes, there is:

import ccxt
exchange = ccxt.bitmex({
    'apiKey': 'YOUR_TESTNET_KEY',
    'secret': 'YOUR_TESTNET_SECRET',
})
if 'test' in exchange.urls:
    exchange.urls['api'] = exchange.urls['test'] # ←----- switch the base URL to testnet
print(exchange.fetch_balance())

Let us know if this does not help. Closing it for now, if you don’t mind. Feel free to reopen it or just ask questions if you have any. Thx!
