BitPay::BitPayError: 500: Unauthorized sin

[ayazahmadtarar-pikessoft]

I have created a client
client = BitPay::SDK::Client.new(tokens:'9qUWYMu', debug:true, facade: 'pos', api_uri: 'https://test.bitpay.com')
and now requesting for
invoice = client.create_invoice(price: '123', currency: 'USD')

I'm having this too

BitPay has reset its test environment this week. If you try to use an old test account, please create a new test account at test.bitpay.com

About the pairing: did you follow the support article from https://support.bitpay.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003025666-How-do-I-create-private-keys-and-public-keys-for-the-BitPay-API- , section 'Ruby' ?
Best is to do the pairing without passing a pairingcode in the parameters. BitPay will return a token + pairingcode. The pairingcode you need to approve in your merchant dashboard (Payment Tools -> Manage API tokens). After approval of the pairingcode, you can use the token forever to create invoices.

Thanks, @pieterpoorthuis I'll do as instructed.

I followed the instruction from https://support.bitpay.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003025666-How-do-I-create-private-keys-and-public-keys-for-the-BitPay-API- , section 'Ruby' and tried

client = BitPay::SDK::Client.new(tokens:'MY-TOKEN-SHOWED-IN-DASHBOARD', debug:true, facade: 'merchant', api_uri: 'https://test.bitpay.com')
invoice = client.create_invoice(price: "0.00001", currency: "BTC")

and I got 500: Unauthorized sin. What was wrong?

[danescsvn]

We are looking into this issue. If you can please email us your system specs to sales-engineering@bitpay.com and any other logs you may have would be helpful. Thank you.

[Tatsuhiko-Nakagawa]

@danescsvn I emailed you the recreation procedure. Thanks!

Hi Tatsuhiko,

In your tests, you were passing the client_id (TfL...) as the API token. That's actually a hash of the pub_key created - not the API token.

To authenticate your client:

1. use the generate_pem function to create a private/public key pair and store the .pem file.
2. initialize the client based on this pem file, BitPay::SDK::Client.new(api_uri: 'https://test.bitpay.com', pem: pem)
3. use the pair_client() function to request a pairing code from the BitPay server. This function will return a token object (containing the token string and the pairing code).
4. enter the pairing code on https://test.bitpay.com/api-tokens and select the appropriate facade (use merchant). Once this is done, your client is paired, and the token generated on step 3 is approved and can be used to create invoices (in combination with the keys from the pem file).

Check the following example https://github.com/bitpay/ruby-client/blob/master/GUIDE.md#pairing-programatically.

Once you have a paired client, you can use the create_invoice() function and create test invoices - see https://github.com/bitpay/ruby-client/blob/019140f04959589e7137c9b81cc1b848e15ebbe6/GUIDE.md#create-a-new-bitcoin-invoice. You would need to explicitely set the facade you are using in when calling create_invoice function:

create_invoice(price: '10', currency: 'USD', facade: 'merchant')

@cjr-roland sir can you give this example in python. i am having too much issues from last 7 days. Totally stuck please help

[dteh]

@pydelllover you should post in the bitpay-python repo

1. create a token at https://test.bitpay.com/api-tokens
2. with the pairing token:

from bitpay import key_utils
from bitpay.client import Client
pem = key_utils.generate_pem()
with open('./bitpay.pem', 'w') as pem_file:
    pem_file.write(pem)

client = Client(api_uri="https://test.bitpay.com", pem=pem)
tokens = client.pair_pos_client(pairing_token)

3. When instantiating the client in the future:

with open('./bitpay.pem', 'r') as pemfile:
    pem = pemfile.read()
client = Client(api_uri=settings.BITPAY_API_BASE, pem=pem, tokens=tokens)
invoice = client.create_invoice(
    {
        "price":price,
        "currency":"USD",
        "token":client.tokens['pos'],
    }
)
