Problem of API authentication with Okex

Context

• OS: OSX
• Programming Language version: javascript (ES6 Babel in Chrome Browser)
• CCXT version: 1.10.1124
• Exchange: Okex
• Method: fetchBalance()

Problem: unauthorized as reponse

Trying to fetch account info (fetchBalance) with okex. I get {result: false, error_code: 10017} which means API ~authentication~ authorization error.

The API key has been generated with neither withdrawal nor trade permissions activated, as it is meant to only get my account info.

I am not too sure about the relation between OKCoin and Okex. Just to be clear, I am using okex, the Chinese exchange at okex.com. I see the code is shared between these. And I also found a typo for the public api url.

Checking the request, I see the public key and the signature there. I don’t know if the signature is ok though.

Code used

this.okexClient = new ccxt.okex({
  apiKey: 'my key',
  secret: 'secret',
})

this.okexClient.fetchBalance()
  .then((res) => {
    console.log(res)
  })

Note: I use ccxt successfully with Kraken exchange, so I have a bit of practice using ccxt.

@bleotu I never got a response. Not sure about having a ticket, I don’t find anything in my mails.

@AoDev any response from Okex to provide a read-only account? Do you have a ticker number for that?
