Python Client - Always Receives 401 error

Question

I am trying to use the Python library for Coinbase's API, but I receive a 401 error on every request. I tried with a Sandbox account, with a new API key (with every permission) but I get a 401 on every single authenticated request.

Here is my code:

from coinbase.client import Client

client = Client(api_key, api_secret)

client.get_buy_price() # works fine
client.get_accounts() # not working at all

For example, here is a sample with my sandbox key/secret (this pair has full permissions):

from coinbase.client import Client

API_KEY = "b9hXalyQoZ8z4Dk2"
API_SECRET = "fALfigoBfHU6uLcFbWbmPf5NRwgMX9c6"

client = Client(API_KEY, API_SECRET)

print client.get_buy_price() # gets the price correctly
print client.get_accounts() # raises a 401

Answer 1

We had a temporary outage on the API that affected a small number of customers. It should be fixed now.
