status:active but still "Failed to authneticate" #9
Description
I really like your scalping strategy and Python implementation!
I have a live account and a paper account, and regularly work with Polygon. However, when I try to run your code with my paper account, I get the following error:
c:\users\gil\envs\utils\lib\site-packages\alpaca_trade_api\stream2.py in _connect(self) 44 status = msg.get('data').get('status') 45 if status != 'authorized': ---> 46 raise ValueError( 47 (f"Invalid Alpaca API credentials, Failed to " 48 f"authenticate: {msg}") ValueError: Invalid Alpaca API credentials, Failed to authenticate: {'stream': 'authorization', 'data': {'action': 'authenticate', 'message': 'access key verification failed', 'status': 'unauthorized'}} -- this is despite the fact my account is active:
