API Version 2:
v2 api is found at :
official docs are on :
https://github.com/MtGox/mtgox-doc
The requested path (anything after the /2/) must now be included when you compute your hashed signature (Rest-Sign) for added security.
Explanation:
This is how it was done for version 1:
You have your params(post_data) = the word nonce, followed by the actual nonce integer (params = [(u'nonce',nonce)])
You have your header made up of Rest-Key (your API-KEY) and Rest-Sign (a hashed signature)
Rest-Sign is created by doing : base64encode( HMAC hash( base64decoded(API-secret), the nonce, with SHA512 digest))
What differs in version 2 is now : BEFORE the nonce, you are adding the relative path you are requesting(ie: BTCUSD/money/ticker) + a NUL char (ascii code 0).
The URL is now something along the lines of BTCUSD/money/order/add instead of BTCUSD/private/order/add in api1.
So in my python code below which is very readable you can see everything remains the same as API v1 except now we are using api2postdatatohash = path + chr(0) + post_data #new way to hash for API 2, includes path + NUL.
BTCUSD/money/order/quote
<@MagicalTux> it estimate the result of running an order at a given price based on market depth
Code Examples:
C# :

Python
Perl
