Clone combo bot

Developers (API/Webhooks)

Hi Maksym

I have been trying to clone a combo bot through my python code but havent had much luck
i fetch my 1 combo bot which i created in UI and use its settings dictionary to make a copy for the pair i pass

the error i get is
HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://api.gainium.io/api/cloneComboBot?botId=68ea0305f3011652961f3fe6

botId = 68ea0305f3011652961f3fe6

I have write access on my api and secret and i am able to fetch my combo bot with it

Attached is my python script

test.txt (4.7 KB)

Body should be a part of signature. You signed first then added body

3

I did it similar to fetch combo bots so I thought it would work.

Also the clone combo bot in the swagger UI payload doesn’t have a “pair” key so probably needs updating documentation

Could you also mention the mandatory keys needed in the payload for all the api endpoints on swagger UI

4

If body is empty, its not used in signature, in all other cases must be used.
Mandatory parameters are marked as required.
Pair will be added to schema.

So if I do

url = ``https://api.gainium.io/api/cloneComboBot?botId=68ea0305f3011652961f3fe6

payload = {"pair": [new_pair] }

And

headers = sign_request(api_secret, method, endpoint, timestamp, body=payload)
response = requests.put(f"{url}?botId={bot_id}", headers=headers, json=payload)

Would that be enough for the clone?

As there is no python sdk in github this is new to me

I believe yes, but not an expert in python.

didnt work in python or through the swagger UI as you see
I tried pairs as LINK_USDT and also LINKUSDT
its on a futures accoun

There was a wrong url.
Fixed and added pair to body description.
Symbol must be in format base_quote

For anyone needing python code to clone a combo bot here it is

import base64
import json
import time
import requests
from hashlib import sha256
from hmac import HMAC

# === Credentials ===
api_token = '64ecaaexxx' # Replace with generated token
api_secret = 'e12cb620-cfb4xxx' # Replace with generated secret

# === Clone parameters ===
bot_id = '68ea0xxx' # Replace with botID
pair = 'ADA_USDT' # New pair
strategy = 'short' # Direction
name = f"{strategy}_{pair.split('_')[0]}USDT"

# === Timestamp ===
timestamp = str(int(time.time() * 1000))

# === Payload ===
payload = {
    "name": name,
    "pair": [pair]
}
body_str = json.dumps(payload, separators=(',', ':'), sort_keys=True)

# === Endpoint ===
endpoint = f"/api/cloneComboBot?botId={bot_id}&paperContext=false"
url = f"https://api.gainium.io{endpoint}"

# === Signature ===
prehash_string = f"{body_str}PUT{endpoint}{timestamp}"
signature = HMAC(api_secret.encode('utf-8'), prehash_string.encode('utf-8'), sha256).digest()
signature_encoded = base64.b64encode(signature).decode('utf-8')

# === Shared headers ===
headers = {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "token": api_token,
    "time": timestamp,
    "signature": signature_encoded
}

# === Send with requests ===
print("\n=== Requests ===")
response = requests.put(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
print("Status:", response.status_code)
print("Response:", response.text)

Thanks Maksym
