TypeError: must be str, not bytes
#11
Well, I don't know what API will use a base64 encoded key. Since it is a secret key I won't ask you to put it here. If you want to change it but and at the same time preserve the "structure"...

base64.b64decode can't decode the API_SECRET value. Is it base64 encoded at the first? See what base64 is. Read it carefully. I will do it too when I have time for this. I am not so aware how it works exactly too.

See what Output padding is.

Thank you very much.
I will be studying.

The code has
API_SECRET = 'KY9R6bgPfQeDr2kV...rwm4aoGk0EvQwU...eduafbsk' 
it is encrypted apparently. I changed it for the forum. But I have error with full key.

Well, these guys have a forum. And I've found this post. The code for Python 3 looks a bit different.

Generate a new API key. You had to randomize the API_SECRET.

Thank you very much.
Yes, the code I tried and did something when there were mistakes. Now it seems to have received a response from the server, but not the kind who waited

It tells you that it is a method, not an attribute. You have to call it.
print (my_api.getBalances()) # do you see the parenthesis?
