How to change .pem file to .key file?

[onthepunt]

I created my key through XCA and exported it as a PEM private file (.pem) following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO4UnHRyLz4. When I use the path of the key as my Cert Path, I get an error saying 'Make sure .crt and .key file is present. Do I need to export my key in a different file format through XCA? How do I change a .pem file extension to .key?

My code:


certs_path1 = r'C:\Users\\Desktop\Certs\Arb.crt'
certs_path2 = r'C:\Users\\Desktop\Certs\Client-2048.pem'
my_username = ""
my_password = ""
my_app_key = ""
trading = betfairlightweight.APIClient(username=my_username, password=my_password, app_key=my_app_key, certs=certs_path1 and certs_path2)
trading.login()

I experienced the same issue, this worked for me:

openssl rsa -in client2048.pem -out client2048.key

You can also add the path of where you are reading in and saving the file and it should work. i.e C:\client2048.pem

What goes in the my_app_key = "" ?

Everybody's code has this but nobody or any of the documentation reveal what this is!

In this example, certs_path2 already links to the key.

Should my_app_key be repeating this super long string e..g. my_app_key = 'MIIEpAIBAAKCAQEA+NANqNuwh6C/xEgHOxHSmwj6RhViriBCJFkd0syrU9TWN0TnLA9YS5NET2IdCN N5xZ+uBwZH+Rt+xe7/alpKB+hefAoGc/UeoRzMXc1az...................' ?

Hi Angel

You should put your Delayed/live App Key as the value for "my_app_key = "

See https://docs.developer.betfair.com/d...pplicationKeys for details on how to retrieve your existing App Keys.
