@pabx06 can you confirm that your Omnicore client is running and is accessible
what is the output of the command omnicore-cli getinfo and omnicore-cli omni_getinfo
can you also confirm you have the file /home/pabx/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf and it has entries for rpcuser and rpcpassword

@pabx06
2 things.

1. We just pushed a quick patch. Please update your local repo
2. You are missing the property id to run the report for in the command line: https://github.com/OmniLayer/balanceHistory#running

[achamely]

If that works for you please go ahead and close out the issue

@pabx06 can you confirm the contents of ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf (you can obscure any sensitive username/password info)
Also, what version of python are you using

[pabx06]

i have deleted that file.
it was :

server=1
rpcuser=
rpcpassword=

but getHistory.py gave me
Exception: RPC connection failure: 401 Unauthorized

[achamely]

@pabx06

In order for things to operate properly you will need to have the file ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.con for the user that omnicored is running under/the user running getHistory

It should contain at the minimium

server=1
rpcuser=<a unique username>
rpcpassword=<a unique password>

This file is used/read by both omnicored when it starts up and the getHistory project.
Are you running both projects on the same machine as the same user?
What version of Python are you using?
