Answer 1

you need to pass your timestamp for your signature encode process

the other thing i did was this:

encode(Config.SECRET_KEY, timestamp + "POST" + "/api/v1/orders" + kucoinOrderRequest.toString()) + "",

KucoinOrderRequest model class toString function is basically a json format of the request, like this:

"{" +
            "n"clientOid":"" + clientOid + '"' +
            ",n"side":"" + side + '"' +
            ",n"symbol":"" + symbol + '"' +
            ",n"type":"" + type + '"' +
            ",n"size":"" + size + '"' +
            "n}";

Here is a snippet of code i have created based on kucoin-python wrapper.
You can test it :

from kucoin.client import Trade, Market


class my_kukoin_handler:
def __init__(self,key,sec,pas):
    self.api_key = key
    self.api_secret = sec
    self.api_passphrase = pas
    self.client = Trade(key=self.api_key, secret=self.api_secret, passphrase=self.api_passphrase, is_sandbox=False, url='')

def update_client(self):
    self.client = Trade(key=self.api_key, secret=self.api_secret, passphrase=self.api_passphrase, is_sandbox=False,url='')

def buy(self,coin_no_usdt,qty):
    try:
        order_id = self.client.create_market_order(str(coin_no_usdt).upper().replace('USDT','').strip()+'-USDT', 'buy', size=str(int(qty)))
    except Exception as e :
        print('Kukoin error while buyin has occured',str(e))

Answer 3

The body needs to be converted to json before making the request since this is V2.
