in reply to LWP::UserAgent POST example

Hi, start with the LWP::UserAgent doc for POST requests and follow the links shown to learn how to build your request with the data needed by the API.

Great that your project has advanced to the point of making a trade. Be careful! You might want to practise with some generic POST requests to a less consequential endpoint until you get the hang of it.

Hope this helps!

    FWIW I second caution. I've seen bad trading bots go rogue.

    Thank You for your reply. Unfortunately I read that link which you sent but was not able to get the output. I am not able to understand how do I request the structure:

    Request Structure:

    REQUEST_SIGNATURE: API_KEY + "POST" + URI + NONCE + HASHED_POST_PARAMS

    API_KEY: Your Cryptopia api key

    URI: the request uri. e.g. https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Api/SubmitTrade

    HASHED_POST_PARAMS: Base64 encoded MD5 hash of the post parameters

    NONCE: unique indicator for each request.

    So question is how do I join this api https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/api/SubmitTrade and pass the arguments to it

    Any help would be really appreciated.Thank You in advance!!

      Same deal as always: show your code so far, errors/warnings, expected output.
