Invalid scope error

I'm trying to send bitcons using coinbase ruby gem but I'm having a hard time getting it to work. I'm authenticating like this:

c = Coinbase::Wallet::Client.new(api_key: ENV["COINBASE_KEY"], api_secret: ENV["COINBASE_SECRET"])
ca = c.account(User.last.account.account_id)

ca.send(to: ENV["BITCOIN_ADDRESS"], amount: '0.0001', currency: 'BTC')

This is the error I'm getting back.

Coinbase::Wallet::InvalidScopeError: Api::BaseController::InvalidScopeError

To be clear, the API key has the required permission set in the dashboard. what could i be doing wrong?

Solution

  • The new Ruby gem uses API v2 which requires v2 scope, wallet:transactions:send instead of v1's send. Can you check that you have this enabled?
