OAuth 500 Error: "failed to generate sso dh token"

[jackroc97]

I followed the guide for setting up OAuth and waited 1 day as the guide recommended.

I tried to authenticate with OAuth using the following script (I have all the appropriate env vars set):

from ibind import IbkrClient

client = IbkrClient()
portfolio_accounts = client.portfolio_accounts().data
print(portfolio_accounts)

I get the following error when I run this code:

ibind.support.errors.ExternalBrokerError: IbkrClient: response error Result(data=None, request={'url': 'https://api.ibkr.com/v1/api/iserver/auth/ssodh/init', 'json': {'publish': True, 'compete': True}}) :: 500 :: Internal Server Error :: {"error":"failed to generate sso dh token"}

Has anyone else encountered this issue? I am trying to login to a paper account if that matters.

Thank you!

Hey @jackroc97 thanks for reporting the issue.

500 errors are server errors, hence this is something you want to bring up with IBKR support.

Make sure to do so promptly so that they still have logs on this (https://github.com/Voyz/ibind/wiki/IBKR-Compendium#contacting-ibkr-support).

Thanks for the reply. I read in the ibind docs that different users have had different experiences trying to register Individual accounts with OAuth. I seem to be one of the “unlucky” ones. Per IBKR support:

Please note that OAuth access is not currently available for individual accounts. Regardless of account type, individual account holders are not eligible for OAuth-based Web API access, so we're unable to process an application or provide onboarding materials for that path.

Seems my only path would be using the gateway application if I wish to use the Web API.

Give it a few weeks, maybe they'll activate it eventually. It wouldn't hurt to request it from support too.

I'll keep an eye on it. Thank you!

As an alternative, consider using IBeam - there's been a recent addition of PyOTP which should simplify the authentication process largely for non-OAuth users: https://github.com/Voyz/ibeam/wiki/Two-Factor-Authentication#pyotp-handler

I encourtered this as well on the paper account.

bind.support.errors.ExternalBrokerError: IbkrClient: response error Result(data=None, request={'url': 'https://api.ibkr.com/v1/api/iserver/auth/ssodh/init', 'json': {'publish': True, 'compete': True}}) :: 500 :: Internal Server Error :: {"error":"failed to generate sso dh token"}

I requested seperate cosumerkey, token and secret for the paper account. It has been two days i created these creds

I'll keep an eye on it. Thank you!

I am still facing the same issue. Wondering @jackroc97 if this is resolved for you on the paper account.

@saikrishh123 unfortunately this has not been resolved for me yet :(

I have not yet reached out to IBKR support, as I currently have my system working using the ib-gateway.
