[SOLVED] Tradeogre API authentication help (curl)

Issue

Sorry for the newbie style Q, but curl isn't a strong point. Tradeogre's API docs say to use curl -u '{public}:{private}' But it always returns a 405

curl -u <key>:<secret> https://tradeogre.com/api/v1/account/balance 

Is the public the key and the private the secret from my API keys?

Is the quotes or curly brackets needed?

I've tried with, without, double quotes, swapped keys around. Nothing seems to work. Just trying to get it working in bash for now.

Now I have gotten the non authenticated stuff to work just peachy.

Solution

405 means Method not allowed means you're sending the wrong type of request - in your case you're sending a GET request, where it should be a POST request according to the documentation.

In your POST body, a field named currency with an example value of BTC is required.

Therefore your post request would look like:

curl -u <key>:<secret> -d "currency=BTC" -X POST https://tradeogre.com/api/v1/account/balance 

The GET endpoint is called /account/balances ;)
