Error: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden Requesting returnOpenLoanOffers.

Hello, getting this error when opening lendingbot.py:

2017-06-26 18:55:08 Error: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden Requesting returnOpenLoanOffers. Poloniex reports: '

check you KEY/SECRET, make sure you haeve IP filtering set correctly

[combstraight]

I have checked KEY/SECRET, they are both correct. IP filtering has been set off. I am sitll getting the same error.

[rnevet]

Try creating a new Key/Secret.

The "Nonce Error"-Section from https://www.poloniexlendingbot.com/docs/states-and-errors could be included in the Wiki

[rnevet]

https://github.com/BitBotFactory/poloniexlendingbot/blob/master/lendingbot.py#L96 Nonce should be handled here.

[tamaskan]

yes it should. would be interesting if it works now and if he message appeared in his log

[dt2017]

This Nonce issue has been plaguing me for a while, Yesterday I done a git pull and setup a brand new key, but still getting Nonce issues. If I restart the service then all good and it carries on, but for how long..

Any ideas?

[rnevet]

Basically if you are using the bot only once with it's own KEY/Secret you shouldn't have any noance issues...

The noance is an increasing number that should always go up between API calls on an API key, a single bot handles this without issues.

[combstraight]

I actually found the issue. I was logging in from a VPN because I was in China and Poloniex required my computer to complete a Captcha test for the API request. The bot has been working fine in Hong Kong where no VPN is required.

[rnevet]

"Poloniex required my computer to complete a Captcha test for the API request" what a dump thing, can you send the response you received, maybe we can somehow indicate to the user. Did you manage to resolve it?

[arruah]

I have the same problem.

[rnevet]

@arruah follow the thread, not a bot issue.

polonex is asking fill the captcha

how to solve this error

[tamaskan]

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2026472.0 might be the key

[mchl18]

does the nonce have to be sequential? else, one could just add nonce+math.random() to achieve a higher nonce, or am i wrong. not sure if would help. But also, concerning the bitcointalk discussion, we just had a PR that handled more cloudflare errors, but i think 403 was not one of them.

[rnevet]

Nonce most be sequential. This bug is not because of the nonce, but related to Poloniex captcha.

[lodha13]

Even I get this error urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

I am using the below code exactly and using the correct key have checked it multiple times. https://pastebin.com/fbkheaRb

Please any help will be really appreciated.

Error HTTP Error 403: Forbidden Requesting returnActiveLoans. Poloniex reports: I am also getting the same issue. Did anyone find a way to fix this?

The issue is not seen when I try the API from a United States IP address. Guess Poloniex have region based IP restrictions

Try connecting to a VPN

https://poloniex.com/public?command=returnTicker

You can use this link to check if you current IP address is restricted or not. If your IP is restricted, the above page will ask you to fill a captcha, if not blocked a JSON response will be returned
