How to enable API access for Minemeld

hbiglin — Mon, 09 Apr 2018 19:51:52 GMT

I have been working on syncing a manual localDB miner list via this Python script (https://gist.github.com/jtschichold/95f3906566b18b50cf2e3e1a44f1e785) When I use it, I get 'Unauthorized' when trying to access /status/minemeld. If I manually authenticate via browser first then attempt access, it works.

My question is do you have to change a setting to allow API beyond just creating a feed user account?

Hi @hbiglin,

the localDB miner API uses basic authentication (user:password) and credentials are validated against the list of MineMeld administrators list (not feed user list)

Thanks! Now I am able to CURL against it. Just need to figure out why it won't work via Python.

Hi @hbiglin,

please could share the command line you are using with the script? (redacted to hide confidential details :-))

Thanks,
