APIError: access key verification failed about alpaca-trade-api-python HOT 6 CLOSED

Thank you for all your help! The solution was very simple. I realized the curl function did not have to be used with python. Then all I had to do was add the url to the paper trading account.

api = tradeapi.REST('PK53RZXVSO70ZWANC27Q', 'TOCuoIpJdxPCDi1txOStLsxW4DpdBMm4N3kkdAv7' , 'https://paper-api.alpaca.markets')

from alpaca-trade-api-python.

Your curl example is pointing to paper-api while your python example is to live trading. You can give https://paper-apip.alpaca.markets/ to the third argument of REST()

from alpaca-trade-api-python.

The code looks fine so it's likely the key you are specifying might be wrong.

You can check the actual HTTP header by adding this before the code.

import logging
# You must initialize logging, otherwise you'll not see debug output.
logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
requests_log = logging.getLogger("requests.packages.urllib3")
requests_log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
requests_log.propagate = True

I'm experiencing a similar issue. Yesterday I was able to generate a key and get this working after trading hours. This morning, I tried using the same key from yesterday and I'm getting:

alpaca_trade_api.rest.APIError: access key verification failed : request is unauthorized (generate APCA-API-KEY-ID and APCA-API-ACCESS-SECRET-KEY from dashboard and include in HTTP header) (Code = 40110000) (Code = 40110000)

I generated a new key, and I was able to get passed this error.

from alpaca-trade-api-python.

Still will not work.
I ran this curl function:

curl -X GET -H "APCA-API-KEY-ID: AKYDIJYFTXUS153CS26T" -H "APCA-API-SECRET-KEY: ZGjtbpBRJV8FfayZNXKkACOYR9/ZAmmszD6nBFch" https://paper-api.alpaca.markets/v1/account

This was the response:

I then run this in Spyder Python.
import sys
sys.version

import alpaca_trade_api as tradeapi

api = tradeapi.REST('AKYDIJYFTXUS153CS26T', 'ZGjtbpBRJV8FfayZNXKkACOYR9/ZAmmszD6nBFch')
account = api.get_account()
account.status

I tried the debug function.

I am not sure what I am missing, but I am missing something.

Do you have any recommendations or anything else I can try?
