better call the 'key permissions' "-" instead: "read only"

[drandreaskrueger]

just following your readme ... error:

"""
Error : Handshake status 401 Unauthorized

pip freeze | grep bitm
bitmex-ws==0.4.0
python --version
Python 3.7.3
"""

from bitmex_websocket import BitMEXWebsocket # pip3 install bitmex-ws

api_key="-qU2g..."
api_secret="Kt3b..."

for ep in ("https://testnet.bitmex.com/api/v1", 
           "wss://testnet.bitmex.com/realtime/api/v1", 
           "ws://testnet.bitmex.com/realtime/api/v1", ):
    try:

        ws = BitMEXWebsocket(endpoint=ep, symbol="XBTUSD", api_key=api_key, api_secret=api_secret)

    except Exception as e:
        print(type(e), e, ep)

is resulting in:

Error : Handshake status 401 Unauthorized

What am I doing wrong? Or:

Where exactly is the typo in your README.md ?

Thanks a lot!

P.S.: I have tried all three types of (api_key, api_secret) on https://www.bitmex.com/app/apiKeys :

Order
Order Cancel
-

(actually, my suggestion is to not call the last permission "-" but "read only")

... --> SAME result:

Error : Handshake status 401 Unauthorized

found it.

Your instructions should show this:

BitMEXWebsocket(endpoint="https://www.bitmex.com/api/v1", ...

The readme does show the correct endpoint, just for Testnet. We don't like to encourage testing your software against the live exchange.
