I'm getting the error above in production when using the Account Balance API and the B2C. Could it be an error when generating the security credential coz everything else works.
Here's an example of the error (Account Balance)

{"ResultDesc":"The initiator information is invalid.",
"ConversationID":"AG_20200625_0000650ea6a99ae1c0bb",
"TransactionID":"OFP0000000",
"ResultParameters":{"ResultParameter":{"Key":"BOCompletedTime","Value":20200625232427}},
"ResultCode":2001,"ReferenceData":{"ReferenceItem":{"Value":"https://internalapi.safaricom.co.ke/mpesa/abresults/v1/submit","Key":"QueueTimeoutURL"}},
"OriginatorConversationID":"13443-10746354-1",
"ResultType":0} 

Hello Team,
I am trying to access use the mpesa-api to make the request of authorization but gives me a 400 status invalid credentials unAuthorized error.I am trying to confirm the link in the documentation of how to get my initiator
For the initiator_password, use the security credential from the test credentials page.link :https://developer.safaricom.co.ke/test_credentials
As specified in the docs the link to get the initiator password isnt working.I have a page under this link when logged in
https://developer.safaricom.co.ke/Profile
When I view it there is a place to generate security credentials but above it there is a password field I have come to know you can type anything and a key will be generated which password is required to generate a security credentials and is it same as initiator password on sandbox
Thank You

I'm getting fs.readFileSync is not a function when running the library on Node : 12.0.0 and React : 16.10.2

It's occurring when getting the certificates

import { Mpesa } from "mpesa-api";

const credentials = {
  client_key: '',
  client_secret: '',
  initiator_password: '	Safaricom007@',
  certificatepath:null
};
const environment = "sandbox";
const mpesa = new Mpesa(credentials, environment);

On your mpesa-api, while invoking the B2C API in the sandbox, I am getting the below error

"data":{"requestId":"3911-7748949-1","errorCode":"400.002.02","errorMessage":"Bad Request - Invalid InitiatorName"},"service":"user-service"}

even though the InitiatorName is part of the parameters in the code. i.e.

But when checking the payload in the logs, it's actually missing i.e
"data":"{\"SecurityCredential\":\"lAqo9GH\",\"CommandID\":\"BusinessPayment\",\"Amount\":\"10\",\"PartyA\":600638,\"PartyB\":\"2547xxxxxxxx\",\"Remarks\":\"DriverPayment\",\"QueueTimeOutURL\":\"https://test.com/api/callback.php\",\"ResultURL\":\"https://test.com/api/callback.php\",\"Occasion\":\"account\"}"

  // invoking the mpesa api
  mpesa
  .b2c({
    InitiatorName: Constants.initiatorName,
    Amount: req.body.Amount,
    PartyA: Constants.PaybillB2C,
    PartyB: req.body.PhoneNumber,
    QueueTimeOutURL: Constants.QueueTimeOutURL,
    ResultURL: Constants.ResultURL,
    CommandID: Constants.CommandID,
    Occassion: Constants.Occassion,
    Remarks: req.body.TransactionDesc
  })

Does the lib generate it or isn't it compulsory ?
Also how (Where) do I get the initiator Name?
