Title: Something changed in MtGox API???
Post by: coga on August 31, 2011, 04:08:04 PM
I'm trying to use the call, which I've been using for ages, but now it fails. Username, password inside POST data, like always

Called using POST, url: https://www.mtgox.com/code/getFunds.php

getting back json = '{"error":"Must be logged in"}'

Anyone else having troubles?

so they just shut down the old API, and the hell with all who's still using it, that's very professional.

No, we didn't.

However you may want to use a http library that understands location redirects, or drop the www. yourself.

Sorry, didn't wanna lash on you guys like that, but the truth of the matter is that there must be some sort of communication when you guys are dropping obsolete APIs, so that it doesn't come as a surprise. Luckily it was just a URL replacement, and my app works again

We announced we'll drop support of login/password access to the API within ~1 year.

We'll soon add a system that will every month list all the people using that method and send them an email introducing the API key identification system, to allow for a smooth migration.

This all comes to me as a surprise... Is there a distribution list or something I can get onto, so that I could be aware of such news?
