Bitcoin transaction amount is below the current minimum error

Question

I am trying to send bitcoin to another coinbase address. I am using the following code:

url = "https://coinbase.com/api/v1/transactions/send_money?access_token=XXX"

params = {

             "transaction": {

                 "to": "1G8f9pRvgprVMUymuQugZrhYSqBNXuwzNt",

                 "amount": "0.011",

                 "notes": "Testing transaction"

             }

         }


r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(params)

But I get this result with the error:

{

   "success":false,

   "errors":["You must enter a positive amount","This transaction amount is below the current minimum amount to be accepted by the bitcoin network. (0.00005430 BTC)"],

   "transaction":{"id":"XXX",

                  "created_at":null,

                  "hsh":null,

                  "notes":null,

                  "amount":{"amount":"0.00000000","currency":"BTC"},

                  "request":false,

                  "status":"pending",

                  "recipient_address":""

   }

}

How to solve this?

I went through the code and the only reason I think that’s causing this error is that you are missing the headers. Try this code:

url = "https://coinbase.com/api/v1/transactions/send_money?access_token=XXX"

headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'text/plain'}

params = {

             "transaction": {

                 "to": "1G8f9pRvgprVMUymuQugZrhYSqBNXuwzNt",

                 "amount": "0.011",

                 "notes": "Testing transaction"

             }

         }


r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(postData), headers=headers)

Let me know if this works.
