Invalid Auth Key Error

[mattdperkins]

I was having an auth error as well using the basic info from the readme.

require 'bitfinex-api-rb'  

require_relative 'config'  

client = Bitfinex::Client.new  

client.account_info  

irb(main):022:0> client.account_info  
Bitfinex::InvalidAuthKeyError: Bitfinex::InvalidAuthKeyError  
	from /usr/local/share/gems/gems/bitfinex-rb-0.0.11/lib/bitfinex/authenticated_rest.rb:6:in   `authenticated_post'  
	from /usr/local/share/gems/gems/bitfinex-rb-0.0.11/lib/bitfinex/account_info.rb:11:in `account_info'  
	from (irb):22  
	from /usr/bin/irb:11:in `<main>' 

Solved it by changing the secret and key setup slightly:

Bitfinex::Client.configure do |conf|  
  conf.secret = "xxxxxxxxx"  
  conf.api_key = "xxxxxxxxx"  
end  
` ``

ENV[...] is an environment variable. You should not keep your secrets in the code, instead you may keep it in a .env file. This what the example in the readme is for.

I'm having the same issue with WS v2 occasionally. It just not passing authentication from time to time.

I'm closing this as it is outdated, the repo has been (mostly) completely rewritten.
