ccxt: error: ['EAPI:Invalid key'] doing fetchBalance for Kraken

Using Node.JS 8.1.4 I receive this error after instantiation with the api key and private key from Kraken.

const market = new ccxt[key]({
  apiKey: data.apiKey,
  secret: data.secret
})

console.log(await market.fetchBalance())

Public functions seem to work fine.

Hi @kroitor, thanks for the assistance 👍

I gerenated a new API key with the following settings:

We have finally integrated an adequate solution for Kraken, and removed that ugly workaround! ) Module crypto is now removed from dependencies completely!

I can confirm the updated code works. Thanks!

For clarification, this was a freshly generated keypair that I’ve only used with this library.

Yep, we found the problem (it is due to switching from crypto → crypto-js under Node). We will fix it as soon as possible and it will be working in the next release (this may take a couple of hours for testing), thanks for your patience.

Yeah, it looks like a Node-only issue, Python and PHP working normally. I am debugging this right now, should upload the fix soon. Thanks!
