SSH_Key format error in droplet creation

[ZeeshanSultan]

Tried making a droplet via the create method of the Droplet object.
The parameter ssh_keys containing the key_id as a string ("xxxxxx") or as a list (["xxxxxx"])
returns this error.
Key invalid, key should be of the format type key [comment]

Find the attached image to see the problem in action
any workaround ?

Are you using the latest version (master of the git repository) or the pypi version?

[ZeeshanSultan]

Yup.

[koalalorenzo]

What if you use the latest master version on this repository?

[ZeeshanSultan]

Nope still doesn't work

[koalalorenzo]

Is it possible to see the source code you are running?

[ZeeshanSultan]

Sure

I have updated your comment to make it readable 👍

[ZeeshanSultan]

Thanks. i was about to do it as well. 👍

[koalalorenzo]

your key value should be integer, if you want to use the string, you need to pass the fingerprint.
Quick fix:key = [int(key_in)]
is it working now?

[ZeeshanSultan]

Thanks worked like a charm.
