Bitfinex fiat (USD) withdraw()

[Fcl69]

code:

import ccxt 
exch = ccxt.bitfinex({
    'apiKey': 'key',
    'secret': 'sec',
    'enableRateLimit': True,
    'verbose': True,
    })
order = exch.withdraw('USD', '100', 'wallet')
print(order)

output:

https://api.bitfinex.com/v1/symbols_details GET https://api.bitfinex.com/v1/symbols_details
Bad Request {"message":"Key swift was not present."}

Hi! Basically, it tells you the reason:

{"message":"Key swift was not present."}

What it is saying is that if you want to do fiat withdrawals (USD), then they require SWIFT bank code, as long as several other params (bank info, account numbers, etc), described here: https://bitfinex.readme.io/v1/reference#rest-auth-transfer-between-wallets

You can pass them in the last argument of the withdraw call like so:

exch.withdraw('USD', '100', 'wallet',{
    'swift': 'YOUR_SWIFT',
    'bank_name': 'YOUR_BANK_NAME',
    # all other required params...
})

Does this help?

Hm... Yes, you're right. I thought it was USDT. I guess, they're using another symbol for that.

[Fcl69]

F$%^ Bitfinex won't do "USDT", nor "tether"
Do you happen to know which symbol I should specify for tethers?

[kroitor]

@Fcl69 yeah, just one sec we will try adding USDT support. I'll get back to you with an update in 5 minutes.

[kroitor]

@Fcl69 can you please try it with version 1.9.356 and USDT? They say it should be withdrawable to any BTC or ETH address...

[Fcl69]

Hello!

Looks like it accepted the symbol:

[{"status":"error","message":"Min 100 USD","withdrawal_id":0,"fees":"5.0"}]
{'info': {'message': 'Min 100 USD', 'fees': '5.0', 'withdrawal_id': 0, 'status': 'error'}, 'id': 0}

[kroitor]

@Fcl69 Yes it did, but it requires >100USD. I guess you can carry on from here. Thx!

[Fcl69]

I've tested the full cycle, and it worked. Thanks again!

Hi all,

Just wanna ask, I faced problem when I trying to withdraw at "Kraken".
I obtained the following message
Kraken requires 'key' to withdraw.

Is this 'key' referring to: 1. 2-factor authentication 2. apiKey or 3. secretKey
I have checked Manual
However, there is no clearly state which information do the 'key' referring to.

Regards,
Hao

@Tsuihao can you show the code and verbose output? (set .verbose = true on the exchange, then call withdraw)

[kroitor]

@Tsuihao this is either your withdrawal address name or withdrawal address (often set to the same value):

@kroitor, Thanks for the info.

It is the "Description" name
