I try to recover information in C# about crypto currency on the bittrex exchange plateform.
For that I have this website: https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getticker?market=BTC-LTC. With Chrome i have this result:
{"success":true,"message":"","result":"Bid":0.01678600,"Ask":0.01680095,"Last":0.01678600}}
And I want to recover that. So in my form i set :
public variable :
public const string BaseUrl = "https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getticker?market=BTC-LTC";
Public button event :
var webreq = WebRequest.Create(BaseUrl);
var webresp = webreq.GetResponse();
MessageBox.Show("" + webresp);
When i run then program I get an error with an authentification issue, but, I just when to read information with public key.
Does Anyone knows where am I wrong? and how can I bypass this authentification issue ?
UPDATE : Thanks Dieter B, I still have the authentification error, i'm not sure about encoding and the time format needed. Have you any clue ?
public static string time = DateTime.Now.ToString();
public static string apisecret = "f**********************************d";
public static string BaseUrl = "https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getticker?market=BTC-LTC?apikey=56************************61a&nonce="+time;
public static readonly Encoding encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
public static string sbinary;
/// <summary>
/// Point d'entrée principal de l'application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
var keyByte = encoding.GetBytes(BaseUrl);
using (var hmacsha256 = new HMACSHA256(keyByte))
{
hmacsha256.ComputeHash(encoding.GetBytes(apisecret));
sbinary = ByteToString(hmacsha256.Hash);
}
HttpWebRequest GETRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(BaseUrl);
GETRequest.Headers.Add("apisign", sbinary);
GETRequest.Method = "GET";
MessageBox.Show(sbinary);
HttpWebResponse GETResponse = (HttpWebResponse)GETRequest.GetResponse();
Stream GETResponseStream = GETResponse.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(GETResponseStream);
MessageBox.Show(sr.ReadToEnd());
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
static string ByteToString(byte[] buff)
{
string sbinary = "";
for (int i = 0; i < buff.Length; i++)
sbinary += buff[i].ToString("X2"); /* hex format */
return sbinary;
}
Thank you
