Updated API to version 2.
We have updated the API calls to Version 2. This requires you to sign each request to the server using your secret key instead of sending it directly to the server. See the python example below how to implement this into your code The old version of the API is depricated and will be taken out of service 15th of July 2016.

# Eample usage:
# Public:
# print api_query( "markets" )
print api_query( "market/orderhistory/" + "LTC_DOGE" )
# etc...
# Private:
print api_query("getbalances")
# print api_query( "trade/" + "LTC_DOGE", { 'tradebase': 0, 'tradetype': "BUY", 'tradeprice': 0.000001, 'tradeamount': 1000 } )
# print api_query( 'cancelorder/' + str( 1426936 ) )
# print api_query( 'tradehistory' )
# etc...
Important
Use the trailing slash on every request or your API Auth will fail. The URL listed is the exact URL needed to access Nova Exchange by API.
The binary signature of the request has to be a base64 encoded string before sent to the server.
Nonce is enforced on private API calls in APIv2 and has to be included in url before signing it with your secret key.
