Gdax trying to put limit or market trade

[kroitor]

Ok, I fixed it, finally. Now it replies with "Insufficient funds" as it should.
Code for testing:

# Python
import ccxt
gdax = ccxt.gdax ({ 
	'apiKey': '92560ffae9b8a01d012726c698bcb2f1', # standard
	'secret': '9aHjPmW+EtRRKN/OiZGjXh8OxyThnDL4mMDre4Ghvn8wjMniAr5jdEZJLN/knW6FHeQyiz3dPIL5ytnF0Y6Xwg==', 
	'password': '6kszf4aci8r', # GDAX requires a password!
})
gdax.urls['api'] = 'https://api-public.sandbox.gdax.com'
gdax.load_products ()
gdax.create_limit_buy_order ('BTC/USD', 1, 2000)

The problem was that their sandbox does not accept client_oid field. Removed it. Should work now. Thanks again!

Thanks for a detailed report! Can you please paste the following short test in python console and report on what you get:

# Python
import ccxt
gdax = ccxt.gdax ({ 
	'apiKey': '92560ffae9b8a01d012726c698bcb2f1', # standard
	'secret': '9aHjPmW+EtRRKN/OiZGjXh8OxyThnDL4mMDre4Ghvn8wjMniAr5jdEZJLN/knW6FHeQyiz3dPIL5ytnF0Y6Xwg==', 
	'password': '6kszf4aci8r', # GDAX requires a password!
})
gdax.urls['api'] = 'https://api-public.sandbox.gdax.com'
gdax.fetch_balance ()

Note, that GDAX requires the password for authentication. Read the API Keys Setup section in the Manual for more details.
Waiting for your reply.

Fixing this...

[marinsokol5]

I have tried your code and the methods still don't work unofrtunately.
My code is similar I have also been testing it on sandbox with a password.

[kroitor]

It seems like I fixed it, and the order signatures are now generated correctly, but their sandbox matching engine responds with 'offline' message. Should work normally though when it's back online or on production.

Here is how I test:

So now it's the problem with their sandbox matching engine. Will wait for it back online and test later again.

[kroitor]

So now it says "Insufficient funds" as it should... Will add an exception for this case, though.
