Has anyone used the Zeus88 API integration for the new build?

I'm trying to integrate the Zeus88 platform into our main dashboard, but I'm running into some authentication errors that I can't seem to track down. The documentation suggests using OAuth 2.0, but the sample code seems outdated compared to the current live endpoints. Has anyone successfully implemented this recently? I'm using Python and the latest version of the SDK, but it keeps timing out on the handshake. Any pointers on a reliable community workaround or updated guides would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Did you check the API key scope? Sometimes the default credentials don't cover the specific endpoints you're hitting.

I had the exact same timeout issue last month. It turned out the issue wasn't with OAuth, but that the Zeus88 server requires a specific header format for the handshake that wasn't documented anywhere. You need to include 'X-Client-Version: 2.1' in your request headers. This fixed it immediately for me. Good luck!

Check your Python environment. Make sure you are using the `requests` library version 2.28.1 or higher. Older versions sometimes struggle with modern OAuth token handling.

Honestly, I think the SDK is totally deprecated. Have you looked into using a community-maintained wrapper library instead? There are a few GitHub repos that have updated the logic for the current endpoints.

What specific error code are you receiving? Knowing the HTTP status code would narrow down whether it's a credential issue or a rate limit problem.

Reply to the user who mentioned the header: @UserXYZ, did adding that specific header solve the timing out issue for you? I'm running into the same timeout when trying to fetch user data.

The documentation is always a mess. My workaround involved manually constructing the OAuth token request using a separate endpoint and then passing that token directly into the main dashboard integration call. It bypasses the faulty SDK logic.

Have you tried using a proxy or VPN? Sometimes network restrictions on corporate firewalls can interfere with the OAuth handshake, causing timeouts even if the code is perfect.

I used the v1.5 API endpoint instead of the v2 one. The v2 documentation is misleading. It's much simpler and stable.

Reply to the user who suggested the header: @UserXYZ, I tried that header, but it only fixed the initial handshake, not the subsequent data retrieval calls. I still get a 403 Forbidden error.

Maybe the issue is related to time synchronization. Ensure that the system clock on the machine running the Python script is perfectly synced with a reliable NTP server. Time drift can absolutely break OAuth token validation.

Short answer: Check your client secret. It's probably wrong.

I had this issue months ago. The fix was surprisingly simple: the scope parameter needs to be comma-separated, not space-separated, in the initial request body. It's a tiny detail that trips everyone up.

Reply to the user who suggested the v1.5 endpoint: @UserXYZ, I tried v1.5, but it doesn't support the data structure I need for the dashboard. We really need the features only available in the newer build.

If you are using a managed cloud service (like AWS Lambda or Azure Functions), check the outbound network rules. Sometimes the service provider blocks the specific ports or protocols Zeus88 uses for its API calls.

Have you considered logging the full request and response payload, including headers? Sometimes the error message is misleading, and the actual problem is visible in the raw network traffic.
