whenever I try this:

Same issue here. I had a very quick chat about this with MagicalTux on the IRC, he told me this should be fixed this weekend. But you know how they are with deadlines at Mtgox...

[CharlyBln]

Have the same Problems.
By the way...Anyone knows an existing Java implementation für the Mt.Gox-API ? I have Problems to set a POST https-message.
If anyone has a short JAVA-script for me, i would be so thankful!

[angelo95]

Sorry I can't help with Java. But FYI I use Curl and it works flawlessly. There is probably an implementation for Java?

down for me as well. when will mt.gox run smoothly? seems like they're always encountering problems.

I am thinking about just skipping over the API and just logging into the site like a "normal user."

Slightly unrelated, but would anyone be interested in me releasing my mtGox C# library?

[angelo95]

I am sure some will be interested in your C# library. For now I am just starting with C++...  Thanks anyway!

[angelo95]

FYI just received this message from Mtgox:

Hello,

It will be active by beginning of next week.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for using our site and you have any other questions feel free to contact us by sending us an

mail.

Thanks,

I just tried my test scripts for the Mt Gox Trading API and they also gave me the reported error.  However in my development work yesterday I discovered a sequence of commands that works.  Once logged in, only the last command needs to be input.  These are using the curl linux command line utility.  And I also have a Java version that I'm now updating to recover from the reported error using this protocol.  Note that the user and password must be HTML encoded.

Code:

curl -v -k --referer https://mtgox.com https://mtgox.com/users/login

curl -v -k --referer https://mtgox.com/users/login --data "name=XXX&pass=YYY" https://mtgox.com/users/login

curl -v -k --referer https://mtgox.com/users/login https://mtgox.com/

curl -v -k --referer http://mtgox.com/ --data "name=XXX&pass=YYY" -H "Accept: application/json" https://mtgox.com/code/getFunds.php

Hi.  Did you see my Java HTTPS snippet posted to your request on another thread?  If not, just respond here and I'll post my latest Java POST to get the Mt Gox funds balance - assuming that one is properly logged in.

Hey,

yeah, thanks for the reply in the other thread. Well, i'm getting this ticker stuff working but now i'm trying to implement the "trading" functionality, but it's hard to develop a communication with an API, which does not work...Please inform me, when you are able to communicate in JAVA with the API, for example if you can place a buy or sell.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks for sharing this. I am using curl as well, fantastic little utility. FYI here below are the lines I use:

Code:

curl -s -k https://mtgox.com/code/data/ticker.php
curl -s -k -d "name=$user&pass=$pass" https://mtgox.com/code/getFunds.php
curl -s -k -d "name=$user&pass=$pass&oid=$oid&type=$type" https://mtgox.com/code/cancelOrder.php
curl -s -k -d "name=$user&pass=$pass&amount=$amount_to_buy&price=$buy" https://mtgox.com/code/buyBTC.php

So it's a bit different... but yours work at the moment, mine was working before. If it's not fixed by this weekend I will modify my code.

OK, small update. I just realized my script was not working anymore because they added something new in the ticker ("average"). If it can save you some time... )

does that mean the trade API is working?

[QuickTrader]

I can confirm the "basic" api of mt gox and tradehill works

price / market / orders / buy and sell

I get:

Mtgox's feed seem to go up and down all the time.  An easy way to see if the problem is you or them is to look at other sites like bitcoinity.com to see if their feed is stuck, too.

API was working perfectly 2 days ago. I stopped using it yesterday to update my computer but till there it was OK. However sometimes it's slow to get some feeds like balance or orders (the ones you have to log in).

I just said screw it and wrote my program to use the normal user interface.
