Certificate folder not found

[Certificates]

HI all,

Package installed: betfairlightweight 1.10.4
I am using the following code and i keep getting the following error:

Exception: Certificate folder not found in C:\Users\Sean\Desktop\certs

# 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\Sean\Desktop\certs'

When i copy the filepath from file explorer it matched with what i put in the code so im not too sure why it cant find it:

Filepath - C:\Users\Sean\Desktop\certs
File inside is - TeskApp.crt

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Sean

It is expecting two files, .crt and .key

Hi,

thanks for the quick reply, when I export the key it a saved as a .pem file.

Can I just change the extension of this to .key ?


#Update, I change the .pem to .key and it’s working now, thanks for your help

I had the same problem, I did rename the .pem file to .key and it got past that issue, but ultimately gives an error:

betfairlightweight.login.exceptions.LoginError: API Login: CERT_AUTH_REQUIRED

I had previously uploaded the .crt file to the betfair account and it does show it there. If I Delete that file, my python login script gives the same exact error. I am using the python sample in the API tutorial (below) and have version 1.6.2 of betfairlightweight. My certs folder contains 3 files, (with xxxxx and zzzzz being words I've chosen). Thanks for your assistance.

xxxxx_key.key
xxxxx_zzzzz.crt
xxxxx_zzzzz.pem

on Betfair the Automated Betting Program Access line shows:

CN=IDAP,OU=IDAP,O=IDAP,L=London,ST=JS,C=GB,E=james krav@gmail.com

when I check the certificate it shows virtually the same thing, but does list the 'state' abbreviation
as S instead of ST, if that makes any difference

E = jameskrav@gmail.com
CN = IDAP
OU = IDAP
O = IDAP
L = London
S = JS
C = GB

I did have SUCCESS with the 'non-interactive (bot) login code' they provide

payload = 'username=xxxxxxx@gmail.com&password=xxxxx'
headers = {'X-Application': 'xxxxxxxxx', 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}

resp = requests.post('https://identitysso-cert.betfair.com/api/certlogin', data=payload, cert=('c:\certs\client-2048.crt', 'c:\certs\client-2048.key'), headers=headers)

if resp.status_code == 200:
resp_json = resp.json()
print resp_json['loginStatus']
print resp_json['sessionToken']
else:
print "Request failed."

problem resolved itself when I updated to 1.10.1
