failed to set key in interactivebrokers.ie

[Mladen-Karadimov]

Seems I am not able to upload my keys, has anyone faced this issue?

I was so happy when i saw this project and documentation, couldn't find any details on ibrk about this... The regular Client Portal Web Gateway work really bad for me, as i am only able to log in 1-2 times per day and it starts failing after that with no error, i need to login to the regular web portal and then go back and login trough it. I've created a dedicated trading login so it's behaving better, but it's very similar. This would be absolutely amazing!

Additional context

Possible Solution

• Authentication method (Gateway, IBeam or OAuth):
• Operating System and version:
• Link to your project/code (if public) :

Hi, I have not experienced this error so far. I recommend you take this to IBKR support, as ibind has nothing to do with the OAuth setup on the IBKR side.

Try again tomorrow or on Monday, the error 501 might just go away.

One more thing: Maybe try a different consumer key. I guess that consumer keys must be unique and "MYIBKRKEY" sounds like somebody thought of that one before...

Ok thanks for the reply. So i've investigated deeper and it seemed like the PUT request is blocked via AKAMAI, so eventually i was able to log in my account via ndcdyn.interactivebrokers.com/sso/Login?action=OAUTH and i was able to add my keys there both for my paper and live account. I am giving it some time and will start testing, i hope this works.

I am afraid to go to the support as they might say, "hey this is not possible for individuals please use the shitty client portal api"

Right, if it works, we'd rather not ask any questions... Please update this issue with any insights and if it works / does not work. Feel free to close the issue if you're good.

UPDATE:

So i was only able to put my keys into the ndcdyn ndcdyn.interactivebrokers.com/sso/Login?action=OAUTH, generetaed my tokens from there and i can say it works well. I've implemented them in the code, beet doing transactions for few days on paper/live trading.

So don't be affraid even if your regular login is in https://www.interactivebrokers.ie, the ndcdyn.interactivebrokers.com for token setup works, it's the same account under the hood, just via the US CDN i guess.
