What is wrong with this coinmex API?

I think I did it like what's listed here
https://github.com/coinmex/coinmex-official-api-docs/blob/master/README_EN.md#1-access-account-information
# Request
GET /api/v1/spot/ccex/account/assets
# Response
[
{
"available":"0.1",
"balance":"0.1",
"currencyCode":"ETH",
"frozen":"0",

},

"available":"1",
"balance":"1",
"currencyCode":"USDT",
"frozen":"0",
"id":1
}
]
And for Signature
This is the manual says
The ACCESS-SIGN header is the output generated by using HMAC SHA256 to
create the HMAC SHA256 using the BASE64 decoding secret key in the
prehash string to generate timestamp + method + requestPath + "?" +
queryString + body (where ‘+’ represents the string concatenation) and
BASE64 encoded output. The timestamp value is the same as the
ACCESS-TIMESTAMP header. This body is the request body string or
omitted if there is no request body (usually the GET request). This
method should be capitalized.
Remember that before using it as the key to HMAC, base64 decoding (the
result is 64 bytes) is first performed on the 64-bit alphanumeric
password string. In addition, the digest output is base64 encoded
before sending the header.
User submitted parameters must be signed except for sign. First, the
string to be signed is ordered according to the parameter name (first
compare the first letter of all parameter names, in alphabetic order,
if you encounter the same first letter, then you move to the second
letter, and so on).
For example, if we sign the following parameters
curl "https://www.coinmex.com/api/v1/spot/ccex/orders?limit=100"
Timestamp = 1590000000.281
Method = "POST"
requestPath = "/api/v1/spot/ccex/orders"
queryString= "?limit=100"
body = {
'code': 'ct_usdt',
'side': 'buy',
'type': 'limit',
'size': '1',
'price': '1',
'funds': '',
}
Generate the string to be signed
Message = '1590000000.281GET/api/v1/spot/ccex/orders?limit=100{"code": "ct_usdt", "side": "buy", "type": "limit", "size": "1", "price": "0.1", "funds": ""}'
Then, the character to be signed is added with the private key
parameters to generate the final character string to be signed.
For example:
hmac = hmac(secretkey, Message, SHA256)
Signature = base64.encode(hmac.digest())
I thought may be the _secret1 is a base64 string rather than utf8 so I changed to
Dim base = "https://www.coinmex.com"
Dim premethod = "/api/v1/spot/ccex/"
Dim longmethod = premethod + method
Dim timestampstring = getEstimatedTimeStamp().ToString
'Dim stringtosign = timestampstring + "GET" + longmethod + "{}" '1553784499976GET/api/v1/spot/ccex/account/assets{} also doesn't work

Not working either.
The secret key (I truncated a few letters) look like
43a90185f5b7ab25af045e9e64bac5dc745934f359f1806fcdd2a4af80ac2
Is this something that should be decoded as base 64 or utf8 or what?
The spec says it's 64. However, it doesn't look like a 64 encoded string. It looks like the letters are from 0-f
Best answers will:
1. Tell me what went wrong in the code. I made the change. Try. Run. Works. Awesome.
A good answer will
2. A sample simulation with a fake/real signatures/nonce/passphrase and real actual headers and signatures. So I can see where exactly I have a wrong result.
Update: I modified the code again. I change the timestamp to seconds instead of milisecons. I remove the {}. I use both way.

Return response
Still doesn't work.
Current Error is
Message = "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized."
I would love to give some read-only API key. Hang on. Or create an empty account and then have a read only API key
The documentation states
This body is the request body string or omitted if there is no request body (usually the GET request)
Note: emphasis mine
yet you include an empty JSON object on a GET request
Dim stringtosign = timestampstring + "GET" + longmethod + "{}" '1553784499976GET/api/v1/spot/ccex/account/assets{}
That {} should not be included in a GET request.
'1553784499976GET/api/v1/spot/ccex/account/assets
Dim stringtosign = timestampstring + "GET" + longmethod
So it appears you were not constructing the signature correctly as per documentation.
Noticed that the docs
The root URL for REST access:https://www.coinmex.pro
while you are trying to call "https://www.coinmex.com"
Timestamp
Unless otherwise specified, all timestamps in APIs are returned in microseconds.
The ACCESS-TIMESTAMP header must be the number of seconds since UTC's
time Unix Epoch. Decimal values are allowed. Your timestamp must be
within 30 seconds of the API service time, otherwise your request will
be considered expired and rejected. If you think there is a large time
difference between your server and the API server, then we recommend
that you use the time point to check the API server time.
note: emphasis mine
Following extension method was used to calculate time stamp
private static readonly DateTime Epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
/// <summary>
/// Converts the value of the current <see cref="System.DateTime"/> object to Unix Time.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="dateTime"></param>
/// <remarks>
/// </remarks>
/// This method first converts the current instance to UTC before returning its Unix time.
/// <returns>
/// A <see cref="System.Int64"/> defined as the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), January 1, 1970, not counting leap seconds.
/// </returns>
public static long ToUnixTimeSeconds(this DateTime dateTime) {
if (dateTime.ToUniversalTime() < Epoch) {
return 0;
}
var totalSeconds = dateTime.ToUniversalTime().Subtract(Epoch).TotalSeconds;
var timestamp = Convert.ToInt64(totalSeconds);
return timestamp;
}
I did the following Test to see if I could call the API following the documentation and it appears to have worked.
I used c# however
[TestClass]
public class CoinMaxAPITests {

};
var client = new HttpClient() {
BaseAddress = new Uri(rootUrl)
};
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation("ACCESS-KEY", apiKey1);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation("ACCESS-PASSPHRASE", passphrase1);
return client;
});
[TestMethod]

var secretKey = Convert.FromBase64String(fakeSecret);
var hmac = new HMACSHA256(secretKey);
var hash = hmac.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(message));
var signature = Convert.ToBase64String(hash);//Jzui/eO3iyLTD6L9qVkUO0EBpZP/lFhx1HlsbuSNt/8=
var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, requestPath);

}
And was able to get a valid JSON response calling /api/v1/spot/public/time that I was able to deserialize for my assertion, even with the fake keys. Probably as this is the public API. This does prove that the URL called is correct.
When the request path is changed to
"/api/v1/spot/ccex/account/assets"
And tested for more secure private data from the API, the response is 400 Bad Request with the following content in the body of the response
{"message":"Encrypted key does not exist"}
which is as expected given that the keys I used were fake.
This gives me every indication that the API does in fact work as expected provided that you follow what is suggested in the linked documentation.
I wonder what I should pick as the answer due to this conflict of interest.
What happened is he go the extra mile of trying some API. I decided to create a new API key and post it here. It's read-only and can't possibly go wrong anyway. Before I posted here I try to run it once more expecting that it won't work like usual.
It turns out my code simply works. It seems that there are error in API key, secret, or password.
Here is the code that finally work

GDAX Post Call returns invalid signature

I am trying to make a post request on GDAX.
But I always receive a "invalid signature" message.
GDAX API Docs for creating request + signing: https://docs.gdax.com/#creating-a-request

}
I also tried to make a API Request Call with Insomnia but it returns the same message ("invalid signature").
Any clues?
Thank you very much in advance!
Looks like you are signing the price order data which is a string, but for the body in the post you are turning it into a json node. Which may not match when gdax decodes the signing and compares the payload data to the decrypted(signed body) when they receive it.
Why not just send the string as the body and remove the ".asJson"?
.body(b)
I was stuck on a similar issue when I was testing the API in C#. After 3 afternoons of trying. I tested sending the data as a string and I was able to get pass the invalid signature error.
I had the same problem.
I used http:

Rally: Get user _ref from RallyRestApi object created using ApiKey

I created a connection to rally using the ApiKey constructor.
Question is how do i find out the User "_ref" associated with this User ApiKey ?
rallyRestApi= new RallyRestApi(new URI(host), "myApiKey");
I tried following 2 test runs:
doing a blank query (i.e. without any setQueryFilter) on User object; it returns me all the users.
QueryRequest userRequest = new QueryRequest("User");
QueryResponse userQueryResponse = connection.query(userRequest);
JsonArray userQueryResults = userQueryResponse.getResults();
Getting owner from Workspace object >> This returns me the owner of the Workspace
You may get a current user:
GetRequest getRequest = new GetRequest("/user");
GetResponse getResponse = restApi.get(getRequest);
JsonObject currentUser = getResponse.getObject();
String currentUserName = currentUser.get("_refObjectName").getAsString();
String currentUserRef = currentUser.get("_ref").getAsString();
System.out.println("current user: " + currentUserName + currentUserRef);
I tested it with latest Rally API toolkit for Java.

How do I add just a username within an authentication header in stripe-payments?

I'm trying to get a simple post request to work to create a customer via the Stripe.js API.
https://stripe.com/docs/api/java#authentication
I'm doing this in vb.net and don't want to use the stripe.net library.
I keep getting authorization failed. All I have to pass is the username in the header, or in this case the username is my test api key.
Here's a chunk of the code:
Dim asPostRequest As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(String.Format(ApiEndpoint))
Dim as_ByteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(stripeccw.ToString)
asPostRequest.Method = "POST"
asPostRequest.ContentType = "application/json"
'asPostRequest.Headers("Authorization") = "Basic" + apikey
'asPostRequest.Credentials("bearer", apikey)
'asPostRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization") = apikey
'asPostRequest.Credentials("Username") = apikey
'asPostRequest.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(apikey, "")
asPostRequest.ContentLength = as_ByteArray.Length
Dim as_DataStream As Stream = asPostRequest.GetRequestStream()
as_DataStream.Write(as_ByteArray, 0, as_ByteArray.Length)
as_DataStream.Close()
Where I've commented out... those are different ways that I've tried. I know some are just stupid attempts, but just getting frustrated. I know for a fact my api key is correct. I can verify this by navigating to https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers and entering it in for my username only.
Hoping someone can spot something simple :)
Thank you!
If I were in your shoes, the first thing I'd do is take a look at how Stripe.Net does it. Even if you don't want to use that library yourself, that doesn't mean you can't use the source code as a reference.
From Requestor.cs:
internal static WebRequest GetWebRequest(string url, string method, string apiKey = null, bool useBearer = false)
{
apiKey = apiKey ?? StripeConfiguration.GetApiKey();
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = method;
if(!useBearer)
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", GetAuthorizationHeaderValue(apiKey));
else
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", GetAuthorizationHeaderValueBearer(apiKey));
request.Headers.Add("Stripe-Version", StripeConfiguration.ApiVersion);
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.UserAgent = "Stripe.net (https://github.com/jaymedavis/stripe.net)";
return request;
}
private static string GetAuthorizationHeaderValue(string apiKey)
{
var token = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(string.Format("{0}:", apiKey)));
return string.Format("Basic {0}", token);
}
private static string GetAuthorizationHeaderValueBearer(string apiKey)
{
return string.Format("Bearer {0}", apiKey);
}
So it seems there are two ways to do it. You can either use "Bearer" format, which is:
asPostRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " & apiKey)
or you can use "Basic" format which is:
asPostRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", _
"Basic " & Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(apiKey & ":")))
