javascript works for FTX us, but not python

• OS: Microsoft Windows 10
• Programming Language version: Python3.8.1, Javascript
• CCXT version: 1.55

Hi, I’ve been trying to get the python version of the ftx api working with the following code.

import ccxt
exchange = ccxt.ftx({
    'apiKey': '',
    'secret': '',
    'hostname': 'ftx.us',
    'name': 'FTXUS',
})

print(exchange.fetch_balance())

And am receiving the following error:

AuthenticationError: ftx {"success":false,"error":"Not logged in"}

If, however, I download ccxt with npm and run the following javascript code, using the same key and secret as in the code above, the command to fetch account balances, it goes through fine.

"use strict";

const ccxt = require ('C:/Users/guysh/node_modules/ccxt/ccxt.js')
;(async function main () {

    const exchange = new ccxt.ftx ({
        'apiKey': '',
        'secret': '',
        'hostname': 'ftx.us',
        'enableRateLimit': true,
    })

    await exchange.loadMarkets ()

    const ninetyDays = 90 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
    let startTime = exchange.parse8601 ('2018-01-01T00:00:00')
    const now = exchange.milliseconds ()
    const currencyCode = undefined // any currency

    const balances = await exchange.fetchBalance()
    console.log(JSON.stringify(balances, null, 4));

I’ve compared the signatures being created for a given timestamp between the two scripts as well, and they are identical. As a result, I’m really not sure why the js code goes through fine, and the python code returns an authentication error. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kroitor, just resolved the issue. Somehow my clock wasn’t syncing correctly for python, so the timestamp was getting messed up. Thank you for your time and for helping me remove the other variables that could have potentially been an issue here from the list.

Ok, I will try to do the same with a linux system and let you know the results on my side. Thank you for your support in helping debug this.
