Token request failed with code 401

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 5 comments

Anyone else getting this while attempting login? I just ran it last night and got this error. Rebooted thinking it was something simple but looks like it's not. Looks like it hanging up on the following. Any thoughts on what's happening as things were working fine a week ago.

self.session.fetch_request_token(self.req_token_url)
token = self._fetch_token(url, **request_kwargs)
raise TokenRequestDenied(error % (r.status_code, r.text), r)

TokenRequestDenied: Token request failed with code 401, response was '<!doctype html><title>HTTP Status 401 – Unauthorized</title><style type="text/css">h1 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:22px;} h2 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:16px;} h3 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:14px;} body {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:black;background-color:white;} b {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;} p {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;background:white;color:black;font-size:12px;} a {color:black;} a.name {color:black;} .line {height:1px;background-color:#525D76;border:none;}</style>

Just heard back from eTrade tech support after trying to debug throughout the day. Looks like the keys expire after 2 years and I did not receive notice and/or remember that's a thing. They are working to reinstate access. Hope this at least helps someone else to mark their calendar a few weeks prior to their 2 year mark so things don't stop working all of a sudden.

this is a typical problem with Etrade. Put the date on your calendar for a month before renewal so that you don't have expired keys next time. My sense is there is one person manning the "keys desk" and they don't have any automation for checking usage, revocation, or renewal.

How to do renew? send email to their support?

send a secure message from within the web platform. There is a specific menu item for API keys. Use kind words, rub your lucky rabbits foot, give offerings to local deities, and within a week, it’ll just start working. I don’t have a good sense how the API will “work” after Sept 1 switchover to Morgan Stanley…
