How to make a futures testnet order via Python?

API Futures API
1

I am trying to test my program on my testnet account before I deploy it on to my real account.
I created an account and got the API keys from https://testnet.binancefuture.com/en/futures/BTCUSDT
However I am confused as to how I place an order on the testnet.

client = Client(api_key, secret_key)
client.futures_create_order(symbol='BTCUSDT', type=ORDER_TYPE_MARKET, side=SIDE_BUY, quantity=1)

leads to : 
binance.exceptions.BinanceAPIException: APIError(code=-2015): Invalid API-key, IP, or permissions for action, request ip: 79.233.206.*** (censored for security reasons)

client = Client(api_key, secret_key)
client.create_test_order(symbol='BTCUSDT', type=ORDER_TYPE_MARKET, side=SIDE_BUY, quantity=1)

leads to: 
binance.exceptions.BinanceAPIException: APIError(code=-2015): Invalid API-key, IP, or permissions for action.

How do I place a testnet.futures-order?

class Client(object):

    API_URL = 'https://api.binance.{}/api'
    WITHDRAW_API_URL = 'https://api.binance.{}/wapi'
    MARGIN_API_URL = 'https://api.binance.{}/sapi'
    WEBSITE_URL = 'https://www.binance.{}'
    FUTURES_URL = 'https://fapi.binance.{}/fapi'
    PUBLIC_API_VERSION = 'v1'
    PRIVATE_API_VERSION = 'v3'
    WITHDRAW_API_VERSION = 'v3'
    MARGIN_API_VERSION = 'v1'
    FUTURES_API_VERSION = 'v1'

It does not appear to have such a parameter, but I could tamper with the class itself.

The docs tell me:
The REST baseurl for testnet is “https://testnet.binancefuture.com”

When I change the FUTURES_URL = ‘https://testnet.binancefuture.{}/fapi’ it works, ty. :slight_smile:

you need to check if the Client class supporting testnet, maybe it has parameter to change the base url to testnet. Please check the library source code.

you have to write

client = Client(API_KEY, SECRET_KEY, testnet=True)
