How to list active orders kucoin

Question

Im new to using API's and have been assigned to try and assemble a trading algorithm using Kucoin API. I am having trouble trying to list the active orders. Any help appreciated

request = Request('https://api.kucoin.com/v1/open/orders-buy')

response_body = urlopen(request).read()
print response_body

Console is returning this error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/thomas/Documents/Github Repo/algo.py", line 5, in response_body = urlopen(request).read() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 437, in open response = meth(req, response) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 550, in http_response 'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 475, in error return self._call_chain(*args) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 409, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 558, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp) urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404:

It is missing attributes, as per their documentation.

Answer 2

Here are my working codes in Python 3:

import requests
import json
import hmac
import hashlib
import base64
from urllib.parse import urlencode
import time

api_key = 'xxxxx'
api_secret = 'xx-xxx-xx'
api_passphrase = 'xxx'   #this is NOT trading password
base_uri = 'https://api.kucoin.com'

def get_headers(method, endpoint):
    now = int(time.time() * 1000)
    str_to_sign = str(now) + method + endpoint
    signature = base64.b64encode(hmac.new(api_secret.encode(), str_to_sign.encode(), hashlib.sha256).digest()).decode()
    passphrase = base64.b64encode(hmac.new(api_secret.encode(), api_passphrase.encode(), hashlib.sha256).digest()).decode()
    return {'KC-API-KEY': api_key,
            'KC-API-KEY-VERSION': '2',
            'KC-API-PASSPHRASE': passphrase,
            'KC-API-SIGN': signature,
            'KC-API-TIMESTAMP': str(now)
    }

#List Orders
method = 'GET'
# endpoint = '/api/v1/orders'   #alternative endpoint
endpoint = '/api/v1/orders?status=active'
response = requests.request(method, base_uri+endpoint, headers=get_headers(method,endpoint))
print(response.status_code)
response.json()

Output

200
{'code': '200000', 'data': {'currentPage': 1, 'pageSize': 50, 'totalNum': 0, 'totalPage': 0, 'items': [blah blah blah]}}
