Always get error "msg": "Timestamp for this request is outside of the recvWindow."

API Spot/Margin API

Hello, I’m testing the Binance API for corporate trading using the testnet. Whatever I do I keep getting timestamp errors, but when checking my timestamp and Binance server the difference is small.

BASE_URL = 'https://testnet.binance.vision/api

headers = {
    'X-MBX-APIKEY': API_KEY
}


PATH = '/v3/account'

timestamp = int(time.time() * 1000)
params = {
    'recvWindow': 5000,
    "timestamp": timestamp
}
query_string = urlencode(params)
params['signature'] = hmac.new(SECRET_KEY.encode('utf-8'), query_string.encode('utf-8'), hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()

url = urljoin(BASE_URL, PATH)
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=params)

When running the below code to check timestamp difference I usually get around 300

url = "https://testnet.binance.vision/api/v1/time"

t = (time.time()*1000)

r = requests.get(url)

result = json.loads(r.content)

print(int(t)-result["serverTime"])

Any suggestions is appreciated!

Sync your time with an online time server (NTP). Google to find instructions for your specific operating system.

Didn’t work for me but instead just used binance-connector library and it worked
