Description
Hello ccxt Team,
I have developed a trading bot using ccxt for Binance Futures. Before deploying it in a live environment, I intend to test the bot on Binance's testnet. I have created an account on the Binance Futures testnet (URL: https://testnet.binancefuture.com/en/futures/BTCUSDT) and am using the API Key and API Secret from this testnet account.
However, every time I run my trading_bot.py script, I encounter the following error:
ccxt.base.errors.AuthenticationError: binance {"code":-2008,"msg":"Invalid Api-Key ID."}
The bot is designed to handle both real and test API keys. I have added debug prints to verify which 'MODE' is being used, and it confirms that the test API keys are being utilized. Yet, somehow the requests are still being sent to the live API endpoint (https://api.binance.com).
The relevant part of my code can be found in the code box.
I have tested the code with various URLs such as 'https://testnet.binance.vision/api', 'https://testnet.binance.vision', and 'https://testnet.binancefuture.com/', but the result is always the same.
Could you please confirm if this code snippet is correct? Additionally, what is the appropriate URL to use for the Binance Futures testnet (https://testnet.binancefuture.com/en/futures/BTCUSDT)?
Code
from config import SYMBOLS, TIMEFRAME, WINDOW, STD_DEV, LEVERAGE, API_KEY, API_SECRET, TEST_API_KEY, TEST_API_SECRET, MODE import ccxt
print(f"Config MODE: {MODE}") print(f"Current MODE: {MODE}")
def get_exchange(): if MODE == 'live': print("Using live API keys") return ccxt.binance({ 'apiKey': API_KEY, 'secret': API_SECRET, 'enableRateLimit': True, 'options': { 'defaultType': 'future', } }) else: print("Using test API keys") return ccxt.binance({ 'apiKey': TEST_API_KEY, 'secret': TEST_API_SECRET, 'enableRateLimit': True, 'options': { 'defaultType': 'future', }, 'urls': { 'api': { 'public': 'https://testnet.binance.vision/api', 'private': 'https://testnet.binance.vision/api' }, 'www': 'https://testnet.binance.vision', 'doc': 'https://testnet.binance.vision/doc', 'fees': 'https://testnet.binance.vision/fees' } })
exchange = get_exchange()
