API Frequently Asked Questions

[adderall-prozac]

Scanning the API chat we had noticed every now again these questions frequently pop up. So we decided to put some of them here for easy reference.

• How come I keep getting this error “Timestamp for this request is outside of the recvWindow.” ?This usually means that your system time is not in sync with the server time. So check that your clock is in sync. If after syncing it still fails, the issue may be the recvWindow value.

• My IP was blocked because I used up the limits! How can I prevent hitting those limits? If your goal is to retrieve market data, we recommend using the websockets as this will not count against your IP limits. Information on websocket usage can be found in our API Documentation.

• How do I get the information on a symbol? You can use the endpoint api/v3/exchangeInfo for SPOT and fapi/v1/exchangeInfo for FUTURES.

• I got this error code. What does it mean? The API Documentation contains all the error codes and a short explanation.

• Why am I getting this message “Rest API Trading not enabled”? This likely means that the API is under maintenance. Please check the API Announcements
  group for any System Downtime.

• Is anyone from Customer Service here? This place is for users to ask questions regarding their code, or usage of the API. Anything that requires someone from Customer Service (e.g. funds locked, 2FA not working, etc) cannot be answered here.Please go to the Customer Service Page for these kinds of queries.

Why am I getting this error: Signature for this request is invalid?

This is another common question that a lot of API users ask.

One of the moderators made a thread to list down common causes and some ways to debug. We are hoping this is useful for everyone:

FAQ: Signature for this request is not valid.

For new users to API, one of the most common questions is how to work out the signature. The error code and message for invalid signature: {"code":-1022,"msg":"Signature for this request is not valid."} It’s hard to replicate this on our end to help out because it requires using an API key/secret key combination. There are some of the reasons why the signature is invalid: The secret key is not set The secret key is not matching to API key The parameter sending to server has no value. /ap…

What’s the difference between HALT and BREAK? What do the other symbols status stand for?

Linking back to one of the moderator’s thread on explaining the different symbols status.

Explanation on Symbol Status

These are the following symbol status available on the API PRE_TRADING TRADING POST_TRADING END_OF_DAY HALT AUCTION_MATCH BREAK For clarification we want to explain some of them here, as there have been many unsure of the differences between them.

Why am I getting an error saying my API key is invalid?

why do I see this error "Invalid API-key, IP, or permissions for action."

This is a common issue and many asked from API users. The reason is just as said from error message: API key is wrong. Check again if the API key is correct. API key is not in the header. Set API key as value of X-MBX-APIKEY in the request header. IP restriction issue. Run wget -qO- http://ipecho.net/plain | xargs echo to validate your IP. Is this IP in your IP address whitelist if you enabled the feature. If you enabled IPv6, please try to turn it off and see if it works on IPv4 only. Di…

Nothing here solved my own “API key invalid” issue. There is one more possibility: you’re using the wrong production API

I was using api.binance.com as I’ve seen in the docs and recommended here. Only when I changed to api.binance.us did the error go away.

Hi why if i try to run this curl -X ‘GET’ ‘https://api.binance.com/api/v3/klines?symbol=EURXRP&interval=1m&limit=500’
only with EURXRP return me {“code”:-1121,“msg”:“Invalid symbol.”}

EURXRP is not a symbol on the SPOT exchange. Use the exchange information endpoint to identify which symbols are available on the exchange.
