Python3 Typerror: replace() argument 1 must be str, not int

Question

I've been trying a few days now to get this code to work on MacOS but with no success. Can you please have a look at and see what I'm missing?

Running python 3.6 and I've uploaded the whole code. Thanks a lot

The error that I keep getting is this :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./run", line 45, in <module>
    trades_into = market["pair"].replace(coin["symbol"],"").replace("-","")
TypeError: replace() argument 1 must be str, not int

Really appreciate your help with this.

Answer 1

your error is telling you all you need to know coin["symbol"] is an int, but replace accepts only Strings. You can fix this by doing str(coin["symbol"])
