YoBit tapi problems with authetincation - vb.net

Question

I am trying to write simple application for myself and when i try to call
getInfo method i always get a error into the response. Key, sign, method or nonce is incorrect. I found a number of examples but i still can't find mistake in my code. Could anyone help me with it?
The code works fine for hitbtc. I know yobit is a bit different but I think I have accomodate that.
My code:
Protected Shared Function readStrings(signatureheader As String, host As String, pathandQuery As String, post As String, secret As String, hasher As System.Security.Cryptography.HMAC, otherHeaders As Tuple(Of String, String)()) As String
'apikey=98998BEEB8796455044F02E4864984F4
'secret=44b7659167ffc38bb34fa35b5c816cf5
hasher.Key = exchanges.getBytes(secret)
Dim url = host + pathandQuery ' url = "https://yobit.net/tapi/"
Dim wc = New CookieAwareWebClient()
Dim sigHash2 = ""
If post = "" Then
sigHash2 = CalculateSignature2(pathandQuery, hasher)
Else
'post = "method=getInfo&nonce=636431012620"
sigHash2 = CalculateSignature2(post, hasher) 'sighash2= "ece0a3c4af0c68dedb1f840d0aef0fd5fb9fc5e808105c4e6590aa39f4643679af5da52b97d595cd2277642eb27b8a357793082007abe1a3bab8de8df24f80d2"
End If
wc.Headers.Add(signatureheader, sigHash2) ' SignatureHeader ="Sign"
Dim response = ""
For Each oh In otherHeaders ' otherHeaders =(0) {(Key, 98998BEEB8796455044F02E4864984F4)} System.Tuple(Of String, String)
wc.Headers.Add(oh.Item1, oh.Item2)
Next
'- wc.Headers {Sign: ece0a3c4af0c68dedb1f840d0aef0fd5fb9fc5e808105c4e6590aa39f4643679af5da52b97d595cd2277642eb27b8a357793082007abe1a3bab8de8df24f80d2 Key: 98998BEEB8796455044F02E4864984F4 } System.Net.WebHeaderCollection
'url = "https://yobit.net/tapi/"
'post = "method=getInfo&nonce=636431012620"
If post = "" Then
response = wc.DownloadString(url)
Else
response = wc.UploadString(url, post) 'response = response "{"success":0,"error":"invalid key, sign, method or nonce"}" String
End If
Return response
End Function
The code has been tested succesfully for hitbtc.
So the crypto part is correct. I put it here anyway for completeness
Protected Shared Function CalculateSignature2(text As String, hasher As System.Security.Cryptography.HMAC) As String
Dim siginhash = hasher.ComputeHash(exchanges.getBytes(text))
Dim sighash = exchanges.getString(siginhash)
Return sighash
End Function
So,
for sanity check
This code works
Public Overrides Sub readbalances()
Dim response = readStrings("X-Signature", "https://api.hitbtc.com", "/api/1/trading/balance?nonce=" + exchanges.getNonce().ToString + "&apikey=" + _apiKey, "", _secret, New System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA512(), {})
End Sub
With yobit things are different. I got to use post instead of get. I got to add more headers. However, I think I have fixed that.
It doesn't work.
The python function for yobit API is this I just need to translate that to vb.net which I think I have done faithfully
API Call Authentication in Python ( Working PHP example )
I think the mistake is around here
request_url = "https://yobit.net/tapi";
request_body = "method=TradeHistory&pair=ltc_btc&nonce=123";
signature = hmac_sha512(request_body,yobit_secret);
http_headers = {
"Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"Key":yobit_public_key,
"Sign":signature
}
response = http_post_request(request_url,request_body,http_headers);
result = json_decode(response.text);
There the stuff that I copied is method=getInfo&nonce=636431012620 which is what I put in post.
So that seems right.

Looks like it works.
I just need to change the nonce so that it's between 0 to 2^31
So this is the error
post = "method=getInfo&nonce=636431012620
The nonce shouldn't be that big. At most it should be
2147483646
Also though not documented, I must add
content type as one of the header. This is the final solution
Dim nonce = exchanges.getNonce().ToString
Dim content = hashObject("", nonce, "method=getInfo&nonce=")
Dim sighash = computeSig(content)
Dim result = CookieAwareWebClient.downloadString1("https://yobit.net/tapi/", content, {New Tuple(Of String, String)("Key", _apiKey), New Tuple(Of String, String)("Sign", sighash), New Tuple(Of String, String)("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")})
So I added New Tuple(Of String, String)("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") as one of the headers
Protected Overridable Function computeSig(content As String) As String
Dim hasher = New System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA512(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(_secret))
Return CalculateSignature2(content, hasher)
End Function
Public Shared Function CalculateSignature2(content As String, hasher As System.Security.Cryptography.HMAC) As String
Dim siginhash = hasher.ComputeHash(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(content))
Dim sighash = exchanges.getString(siginhash) 'convert bytes to string
Return sighash
End Function
Public Shared Function downloadString1(url As String, post As String, otherHeaders As Tuple(Of String, String)()) As String
Dim wc = New CookieAwareWebClient()
For Each oh In otherHeaders
wc.Headers.Add(oh.Item1, oh.Item2)
Next
Dim response = String.Empty
Try
If post = "" Then
response = wc.DownloadString(url)
Else
response = wc.UploadString(url, post)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
Dim a = 1
End Try
Return response
End Function
