Getting started

Before using API please take some time to understand the authentication mechanism built into the API. Some parts of the API require authentication and in those cases you will be required to register with BTC Markets and then generate a set of API keys.

Please check the list below as failing to meet any one of those requirements can cause this error.

• Secret key must be encoded to base64
• Confirm public key and secret are correct by logging into your account and confirming the values are correct.
