BitstampError halts the program

[Rixter145]

I am making ticker calls to bitstamp through your method ticker() but some times bitstamp returns a null.

It appears that the raise BitstampError causes my code to halt. Here's my snippet and hoping to have a better understanding:

while bitstamp_ltcbtc == None:
try: bitstamp_ltcbtc = bitstampz.ticker(base='ltc', quote='btc')

print(bitstamp_ltcbtc)

    except ValueError:
        print("error at", json.JSONDecodeError)
        continue

The json_response is none I tried to catch the error by using a try except bitstampz.BitstampError

but only to be caught with AttributeError: 'Trading' object has no attribute 'BitstampError' ...

I would like to do a retry if it failed but not sure how to do so

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 4, in bitstamp_ltcbtc = bitstampz.ticker(base='ltc', quote='btc')

File "H:\Anaconda\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\bitstamp\client.py", line 111, in ticker return self._get(url, return_json=True, version=2)

Hi, how do you import bitstamp client? My code which works is here:

import bitstamp.client
try:
    bc = bitstamp.client.Trading(username=os.environ['bs_user'],
                             key=os.environ['bs_key'],
                             secret=os.environ['bs_secret'])
except bitstamp.client.BitstampError:
    pass

print(bc.account_balance())

So I changed the exception to the higher class (Looking from your class diagram) and it seemed to be fine now

import bitstamp.client
bitstampz = bitstamp.client.Trading(username=bitstamp_username, key=bitstamp_api_key, secret=bitstamp_secret_key)

while bitstamp_ltcbtc == None:    
     try:
            bitstamp_ltcbtc = bitstampz.ticker(base='ltc', quote='btc')
            #print(bitstamp_ltcbtc)
        except Exception:
            print("error at", json.JSONDecodeError)
            bitstamp_ltcbtc = None
            continue

I'm glad I could help.
