Ethereum: Binance Spot Test Network Error – Retrieving Account Balances
As a developer working with Ethereum, you are probably familiar with the various test environments available for your projects. One such environment is the Binance Spot Test Network (also known as “Spot” or “binance-spot-testnet”). In this article, we will look at why you might encounter an error when attempting to retrieve account balances on the Binance Spot network using the get_account() method.
Error Details
The error message returned is APIEror(code=-2015). This code indicates a validation issue or error in the request. Some parts of the error code say the following:
-2015: This is the HTTP status code for the API endpoint you are trying to reach.
code=...: The actual error code, which we have already identified as “-2015”.
- Additional information: Additional context about the error may be included in the response body or header. However, this detail is not crucial to understanding the root cause of the issue.
Troubleshooting Steps
To resolve the error, let’s go over the possible causes and troubleshooting steps:
1.
Validate your API request
Please double check that you are sending a valid request to the get_account() method on the Binance Spot testnet. Make sure you are using the correct endpoint URL (and the required parameters (e.g. "account").
2.
Verify account existence
Please verify that the account you want to access exists on the testnet. You can use the following code snippet to verify if an account exists:
const client = request('web3');
client.getAccount().then((account) => {
// Check if account exists
if (account === null || account === undefined) {
console.log("Account does not exist.");
} else {
console.log("An account with address exists:", account.address);
}
});
3.
Check client and network
Make sure:
- The web3
library is properly installed (require(‘web3’)) and configured for Binance Spot testnet.
- Network is enabled in theweb3.js
configuration file.
4.
Check your account balance
Make sure you have access to retrieve account balances using the "getBalance()" method:
Account balance: ${balance}const client = request('web3');
client.getBalance(account).then((balance) => {
// Check if balance exists
if (balance === null || balance === undefined) {
console.log("Account balance does not exist.");
} else {
console.log(
);}
});
Example Solution
To troubleshoot and resolve the issue, you can add some debugging code to your test script. Here is an updated example:
Account balance: ${balance}`);const web3 = request('web3');
const client = new web3.Client({
// Binance Spot Network Settings
});
Attempt {
const account = wait client.getAccount();
if (account === null || account === undefined) {
console.log("Account does not exist.");
} else {
console.log("An account with address exists:", account.address);
// Check account balance using getBalance()
const balance = wait customer.getBalance(account);
if (balance === null || balance === undefined) {
console.log("Account balance does not exist.");
} else {
console.log(
}
}
} catch(error) {
console. error(error message);
}
Following these steps and using the example provided, you should be able to resolve the issue of retrieving account balances on the Binance Spot testnet. If problems persist, please provide more details about your project setup and the error message you received.
