In case it's useful to somebody, here's a Python example showing how to call the getInfo method (adapted from jeremy88's PHP snippet in the BTC-e comments): http://pastebin.com/ec11hxcP

Any idea ?

I think the only time I've seen that nonce message is when I've accidentally called the API more than once with the same nonce.  As far as I can tell, it remembers forever the largest nonce it's seen so far, so you have to make sure to increment even if you're just calling the API for testing.

nix way, фaйлы key и secret - ключ из пpoфиля

echo -n "`date '+%s'`">nonce && echo -n "method=getInfo&nonce=`cat nonce`" | openssl dgst -sha512 -hmac `cat secret` > sign && curl -d "method=getInfo&nonce=`cat nonce`" -H "Key:`cat key`" -H "Sign:`cat sign`" https://btc-e.com/tapi

php:

<?php
$t = time();
$h = hash_hmac('sha512','method=getInfo&nonce='.$t, 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'); //xx...xx secret

$url='https://btc-e.com/tapi';

$data = "method=getInfo&nonce=$t";
$tuCurl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($tuCurl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($tuCurl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($tuCurl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($tuCurl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($tuCurl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($tuCurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($tuCurl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
 array("Key: AAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAA",
 "Sign: $h"));

$tuData = curl_exec($tuCurl);
curl_close($tuCurl);

echo $tuData;
?>

So (if I read btc-e's command correctly) in C you can just use the value returned by the time() function (in time.h) as the nonce, or int(time.time()) in the Python script, as long as you don't want to make more than one API call per second.

In case I'm just doing something stupid here: When I attempt to sell LTC for BTC, I get a "You incorrectly entered one of the fields" message, but selling LTC for USD works just fine.  Here are the parameters for each:

LTC->USD: nonce=1344119831&amount=1.000000&rate=0.045100&pair=ltc_usd&type=sell&method=Trade

LTC->BTC: nonce=1344119854&amount=1.000000&rate=0.004570&pair=ltc_btc&type=sell&method=Trade

Anybody know what's going on here?

After chatting with dev at BTC-e, it turns out the number of decimal places they will accept is limited.  It seems that I could have 5 digits after the decimal for LTC->BTC trades, and 4 for LTC->USD, but I'm not sure if that's the official limit.

made a python class

http://pastebin.com/ugMqPkEe

ran with:

Code:

import tapi

client = tapi.tradeapi('MYKEY','MYSECRET')

print client.getInfo()

put in some groundwork for expansion

what is the interpretation of the status field on orders?

{
   "success":1,
   "return":{
      "1081672":{
         "type":1,
         "amount":1.00000000,
         "currency":"BTC",
         "desc":"BTC Payment",
         "status":2,
         "timestamp":1342448420
      }
   }
}

it can also be 0 and presumably 1

Sorry, that was a paste of a transaction, not an order. But I guess that's ok -- I'm also wondering what the status field means on transactions.
