How do I get a list of all instruments

[wybren84]

Hello all,

I tried:
import configparser # 1
import oandapy as opy # 2

#read oanda.cfg
config = configparser.ConfigParser() # 3
config.read('oanda.cfg') # 4

#store token in variable
access_token_wk=config['oanda']['access_token']
account_id=config['oanda']['account_id']
print(account_id)
#print(access_token_wk)
oanda = opy.API(environment='practice',access_token=access_token_wk) # 5
list=oanda.get_instruments(account_id)
print(list)

but I get the next error:
OandaError: OANDA API returned error code 1 (Invalid or malformed argument: accountId)

How can I solve this?

What does your account ID look like? If it's of the format 1-2-3-4 it's a v20 account and you'll have to use the v20 API/library

Where can I find that code? Or is it the same as my user name? I thought it was the latter.

https://github.com/oanda/v20-python provides an api that allows you to work with v20 accounts
