I am hoping to use the coinbase exchange via the api key I have setup on my coinbase account. However, I keep getting the same error when launching the bot:

                  File "/home/pitower/pycryptobot/pycryptobot.py", line 21, in <module>
                    main()
                  File "/home/pitower/pycryptobot/pycryptobot.py", line 12, in main
                    app = PyCryptoBot()
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                  File "/home/pitower/pycryptobot/controllers/PyCryptoBot.py", line 77, in __init__
                    super(PyCryptoBot, self).__init__(filename=self.config_file, exchange=exchange)
                  File "/home/pitower/pycryptobot/models/BotConfig.py", line 181, in __init__
                    self.read_config()
                  File "/home/pitower/pycryptobot/models/BotConfig.py", line 227, in read_config
                    coinbaseConfigParser(self, self.config[self.exchange.value], self.cli_args)
                  File "/home/pitower/pycryptobot/models/config/coinbase_parser.py", line 83, in parser
                    raise TypeError("Coinbase API key is invalid")
                TypeError: Coinbase API key is invalid

Hoping to confirm whether my coinbase.key file needs to be formatted in any particular way? I have previously had success using the binance exchange with my binance.key formatted simply in two lines - this doesn't seem to work with coinbase. I suspect I may be including information not required such as "organizations/ or "apikeys/"?
