I got the same issue when I tried to run it from colab, which IP is afaik on Binance Restricted Location list (US). Didn't get any message when I tried it locally (outside of US).
So I believe this isn't a bug
Hi, Sorry for the super late response. Seems that the problem is that Binance forbids access from US IPs. Could you please provide the full error traceback so I could add a more understandable message for the users?
FYI I fixed this by simply changing the API URLS to their US versions in data_dumper.py:get_list_all_trading_pairs(). Like this: https://api.binance.com/api/v3/exchangeInfo -> https://api.binance.us/api/v3/exchangeInfo
Hi, Thank you so much for your suggestion, I applied a fix for everyone. Now URL is selected according to the user's country location so now it should work seamlessly. The new version is published on PYPI.
Looking into this a bit further, this method may have unintended consequences. For example, unless the list of tickers is the same on Binance.US and Binance, there may be attempts to retrieve tickers that do not exist on Binance, or there may be tickers that exist on Binance that are inaccessible. There is also a distinction between historical data on Binance.US and Binance, so a disclaimer may be pertinent to remind users they are not actually accessing historical data from Binance.US. I don't have any suggestions for fixing these inconsistencies, but this is something to think about.
Thank you for updating the repo.

Are you sure about this?
It's been a while since I've worked with this library, so I can't say for sure at this point. I've since opted to use the official Binance spot client for historical data. From what I remember I was comparing the two datasets and found discrepancies, but that could have been my error or just the very slight difference in when data is recorded from either exchange.
use the official Binance spot client for historical data.
How? Is there any Python package for that?
https://github.com/binance/binance-connector-python I believe this is the official package for it, but do your own research/use at your own risk and all that. You have to change the baseurl when instantiating the Client class to the US link. Although it seems this library has been updated a lot since I used it so things may have changed.
I am getting the error message:
HTTPError: HTTP Error 451:
when running the examples in your package homepage.
