Callback for when Binance goes down about node-binance-api HOT 5 CLOSED

I have found a solution
You can call exchangeInfo()
If the status is "BREAK" then markets are frozen

https://api.binance.com/api/v1/exchangeInfo

from node-binance-api.

So turns out the order that I placed that showed matched isn't showing in my orders. Maybe the froze the state or something.

This is indeed strange. Their API is frozen, but not down. No errors are being returned. So I can't even begin to think what we would check to see the status

I have seen this before, but it is typically for very short periods of time and does not result in your program crashing - just getting stuck doing nothing for some time, then resumes as normal

I suppose we could test the duration since the last trade for specific markets, that would tell you if there have been no trades in a certain time period, for example 5+ minutes

There is now a way to check system status
https://api.binance.com/wapi/v3/systemStatus.html

added systemStatus() function to next version

binance.systemStatus((error, response) => {
	if ( response.status === 0 ) {
		console.log("API is online");
	} else console.log(response);
});
