Certificate folder not found

[tradernz]

Hey all,

I've setup Python and installed the 1.8.3 Betfairlightweight

I have then tried running the

 
 # Import libraries import betfairlightweight from betfairlightweight import filters import pandas as pd import numpy as np import os import datetime import json  # Change this certs path to wherever you're storing your certificates certs_path = r'C:\Users\wardj\Desktop\certs'  # Change these login details to your own my_username = "your_username" my_password = "your_password" my_app_key = "your_app_key"  trading = betfairlightweight.APIClient(username=my_username,                                        password=my_password,                                        app_key=my_app_key,                                        certs=certs_path)  trading.login()

However it is coming up with this output

 
 CertsError                                Traceback (most recent call last) ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\betfairlightweight\endpoints\login.py in request(self, method, params, session)      37         try: ---> 38             response = session.post(self.url, data=self.data, headers=self.client.login_headers, cert=self.client.cert)      39         except ConnectionError:  ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\betfairlightweight\baseclient.py in cert(self)     154         if cert is None or key is None: --> 155             raise CertsError(certs)     156         return [cert, key]  CertsError: Certificate folder not found in C:/certs  During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:  APIError                                  Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-19-b1974ee2ecba> in <module>      21                                        certs=certs_path)      22  ---> 23 trading.login()  ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\betfairlightweight\endpoints\login.py in __call__(self, session, lightweight)      28         :rtype: LoginResource      29         """ ---> 30         (response, elapsed_time) = self.request(self.url, session=session)      31         self.client.set_session_token(response.get('sessionToken'))      32         return self.process_response(response, LoginResource, elapsed_time, lightweight)  ~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\betfairlightweight\endpoints\login.py in request(self, method, params, session)      40             raise APIError(None, exception='ConnectionError')      41         except Exception as e: ---> 42             raise APIError(None, exception=e)      43         elapsed_time = (datetime.datetime.utcnow() - date_time_sent).total_seconds()      44   APIError: None  Params: None  Exception: Certificate folder not found in C:/certs

I have tried things like changing the backslash to a forward slash but no luck. I was able to connect using the some sample code from the betfairlightweight github via the interactive login option but im guessing thats not really what I want to be using long term.

 The library can then be used as follows:    >>> import betfairlightweight  >>> trading = betfairlightweight.APIClient('username', 'password', app_key='app_key', certs='/certs')  >>> trading.login() 
or the following for interactive login (no certs)  >>> trading.login_interactive()

Any ideas on what im doing wrong on this one?

Cheers
Rob

The error is saying you don’t have a C:/certs folder, do you?

[tradernz]

Hey ya.... Yeh sure do... created it and added in the 2 files as required in the online documentation..

[tradernz]

Is there any other requirements for the folder location etc ... ?

[LiamP]

I assume you are using windows, try putting an ‘r’ in front of the string

r’/“certs”

ok the forum is stripping my quotes but imagine there are quotes surrounding and a forward bracket in front of certs

[tradernz]

Hey mate, yeh using windows....

certs_path = r'/"certs"

is getting me

File "<ipython-input-23-e458ea84454c>", line 11 certs_path = r'/"certs" ^ SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

[tradernz]

# Change this certs path to wherever you're storing your certificates
certs_path = r'/certs'

Cheers to LiamP for helping sort this out.... hoping this displays correctly.

Cheers

Hi,

I am having the same problem as tradernz i.e. installed betfair lightweight, have created the certs/linked them to my account and am getting the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- APIError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-13-76672fb37c0d> in <module>() ----> 1 trading.login() C:\Users\Joey\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\betfairlightweight\endpoints\login.pyc in __call__(self, session, lightweight) 28 :rtype: LoginResource 29 """ ---> 30 (response, elapsed_time) = self.request(self.url, session=session) 31 self.client.set_session_token(response.get('sessio nToken')) 32 return self.process_response(response, LoginResource, elapsed_time, lightweight) C:\Users\Joey\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\betfairlightweight\endpoints\login.pyc in request(self, method, params, session) 40 raise APIError(None, exception='ConnectionError') 41 except Exception as e: ---> 42 raise APIError(None, exception=e) 43 elapsed_time = (datetime.datetime.utcnow() - date_time_sent).total_seconds() 44 APIError: None Params: None Exception: Certificate folder not found in C:\certs I believe I am following the same advice I am having the same problem as tradernz i.e. installed betfair lightweight, have created the certs/linked them to my account and am getting the following error:

I have the certs_path variable set to
certs_path = r'C:\certs'

and executing the following code:
trading = betfairlightweight.APIClient(username=my_username, password=my_password,app_key=my_app_key,certs=cert s_path)
trading.login()

which generates the error above.

I've also tried changing the slashes etc. but no luck. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Note I have no problems connecting with login_interactive()

Cheers

What version are you running?

[kerchowey]

Hi LiamP - I am running version 1.9.0 of betfairlightweight.

[LiamP]

Hi LiamP - I am running version 1.9.0 of betfairlightweight.

Hmm, are you a UK user?

[kerchowey]

No I am an Australian user.

[LiamP]

No I am an Australian user.

Are you setting the locale? Although this shouldn’t make a difference on cert login as the docs say Australia uses the same endpoint.

[kerchowey]

No I am not setting the locale. Full code below (note I am filling in the username/pw etc with my details):

import betfairlightweight
from betfairlightweight import filters
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import os
import datetime
import json
import math
pd.options.mode.chained_assignment = None # default='warn'

certs_path = r'C:/certs'
my_username = ...
my_password = ...
my_app_key = ...

trading = betfairlightweight.APIClient(username=my_username, password=my_password,app_key=my_app_key,certs=cert s_path)
trading.login()

[LiamP]

Try setting it
