UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY error when calling the Coinbase NODEJS API

问题

Since yesterday 5:30 PM (Paris time), I get a UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY when trying to list my accounts. I'm using the nodejs library, and it was working fine since several months.

The exact error from the client.getAccounts is :

{ Error: unable to get local issuer certificate
    at TLSSocket.onConnectSecure (_tls_wrap.js:1142:34)
    at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:188:13)
    at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:631:8) code: 'UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY' }

Edit: I've just tried the same calls with the Python API, and it's working fine. So I feel like there is an issue currently with the Coinbase NodeJS API.

回答1:

According to Coinbase they updated their certificates at 10.30am PST yesterday. The node client has strictSSL set to true so requests will fail as the certificate chain fails.

Fix: when you initiate the client you can either set strictSSL to false or pass in the new valid certificates.

Set strictSSL to false:

var Client = require('coinbase').Client;
var client = new Client({
   apiKey: mykey, 
   apiSecret: mysecret,
   strictSSL: false
});

update cert files (you should be able to export them here - https://baltimore-cybertrust-root.chain-demos.digicert.com/ or try coinbase.com and export there):

var Client = require('coinbase').Client;
var client = new Client({
   apiKey: mykey, 
   apiSecret: mysecret,
   caFile: myNewCertFile
});

myNewCertFiles should follow this files format with the updated certs: https://github.com/coinbase/coinbase-node/blob/master/lib/CoinbaseCertStore.js
