# Sandbox API testing
|
||||
Where an exchange provides a sandbox for risk-free integration, or end-to-end, testing CCXT provides access to these.
|
||||
|
||||
This document is a *light overview of configuring Freqtrade and GDAX sandbox.
|
||||
This can be useful to developers and trader alike as Freqtrade is quite customisable.
|
||||
|
||||
When testing your API connectivity, make sure to use the following URLs.
|
||||
***Website**
|
||||
https://public.sandbox.gdax.com
|
||||
***REST API**
|
||||
https://api-public.sandbox.gdax.com
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
# Configure a Sandbox account on Gdax

||||
Aim of this document section
|
||||
- An sanbox account
|
||||
- create 2FA (needed to create an API)
|
||||
- Add test 50BTC to account
|
||||
- Create :
|
||||
- - API-KEY
|
||||
- - API-Secret
|
||||
- - API Password
|
||||
|
||||
## Acccount
|
||||
|
||||
This link will redirect to the sandbox main page to login / create account dialogues:
|
||||
https://public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com/orders/
|
||||
|
||||
After registration and Email confimation you wil be redirected into your sanbox account. It is easy to verify youre in sandbox by checking the URL bar.
|
||||
> https://public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com/
|
||||
|
||||
## Enable 2Fa (a prerequisite to creating sandbox API Keys)
|
||||
From within sand box site select your profile, top right.
|
||||
>Or as a direct link: https://public.sandbox.pro.coinbase.com/profile
|
||||
|

From the menu panel to the left of the screen select
|
||||
> Security: "*View or Update*"
|
||||
|
||||
In the new site select "enable authenticator" as typical google auth.
|
||||
- open Google Authenticator on your phone
|
||||
- scan barcode
|
||||

|
||||
|

## Enable API Access

# Configure Freqtrade to use Gax Sandbox
|
||||
|
||||
The aim of this document section
|
||||
- enable sandbox URLs in Freqtrade
|
||||
- Configure API
|
||||
- - secret
|
||||
- - key
|
||||
- - passphrase
|
||||
|
||||
## Sandbox URLs
|
||||
Freqtrade makes use of CCXT which in turn provides a list of URLs to Freqtrade.
|
||||
These incldue ['test'] and ['api'].
|
||||
- [Test] if available will point to an Exchanges sandbox.
|
||||
- [Api] normally used, and resolves to live API target on the exchange
|
||||
|
||||
To make use of sandbox / test add "sandbox": true, to your config.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
"exchange": {
|
||||
"name": "gdax",
|
||||
"sandbox": true,
|
||||
"key": "5wowfxemogxeowo;heiohgmd",
|
||||
"secret": "/ZMH1P62rCVmwefewrgcewX8nh4gob+lywxfwfxwwfxwfNsH1ySgvWCUR/w==",
|
||||
"password": "1bkjfkhfhfu6sr",
|
||||
"pair_whitelist": [
|
||||
"BTC/USD"
|
||||
```
|
||||
Also insert your
|
||||
- api-key (noted earlier)
|
||||
- api-secret (noted earlier)
|
||||
- password (the passphrase - noted earlier)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
## You should now be ready to test your sandbox!
|
||||
Ensure Freqtrade logs show the sandbox URL, and trades made are shown in sandbox.
|
||||
** Typically the BTC/USD has the most activity in sandbox to test against.
|
||||
|
||||
## GDAX - Old Candles problem
|
||||
It is my experience that GDAX sandbox candles may be 20+- minutes out of date. This can cause trades to fail as one of Freqtrades safety checks
|
||||
|
||||
To disable this check, edit:
|
||||
>strategy/interface.py
|
||||
Look for the following section:
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Check if dataframe is out of date
|
||||
signal_date = arrow.get(latest['date'])
|
||||
interval_minutes = constants.TICKER_INTERVAL_MINUTES[interval]
|
||||
if signal_date < (arrow.utcnow().shift(minutes=-(interval_minutes * 2 + 5))):
|
||||
logger.warning(
|
||||
'Outdated history for pair %s. Last tick is %s minutes old',
|
||||
pair,
|
||||
(arrow.utcnow() - signal_date).seconds // 60
|
||||
)
|
||||
return False, False
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And Hash out as follows:
|
||||
```
|
||||
# # Check if dataframe is out of date
|
||||
# signal_date = arrow.get(latest['date'])
|
||||
# interval_minutes = constants.TICKER_INTERVAL_MINUTES[interval]
|
||||
# if signal_date < (arrow.utcnow().shift(minutes=-(interval_minutes * 2 + 5))):
|
||||
# logger.warning(
|
||||
# 'Outdated history for pair %s. Last tick is %s minutes old',
|
||||
# pair,
|
||||
# (arrow.utcnow() - signal_date).seconds // 60
|
||||
# )
|
||||
# return False, False
|
||||
```

||||
