Exception has occurred: Object has no attribute 'ClientError'-CodePudding

Hi I'm trying to handle an exception thrown by Binance and output from the function the error so I can let the user know the API details didn't work

Source: https://github.com/binance/binance-connector-python

I get this error already on the line for try:

'Spot' object has no attribute 'ClientError'

Unclear for me how to handle the ClientError thrown by Binance. I tried other combinations like adding binance.error.ClientError

Code below

import requests
import json
from binance.spot import Spot


def verify_api_key(api_key, api_secret):

   # api key/secret are required for user data endpoints
   client = Spot(key=api_key, secret=api_secret)

   # Get account and balance information

   try:
    return client.api_key_permissions()


   except client.ClientError as e:
    raise e



print(verify_api_key("test","test"))

How the Error thrown by Binance looks like

raise ClientError(status_code, err["code"], err["msg"], response.headers)
binance.error.ClientError: (400, -2008, 'Invalid Api-Key ID.', {'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8', 'Content-Length': '42', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Date': 'Wed, 16 Mar 2022 20:23:04 GMT', 'Server': 'nginx', 'Strict-Transport-Security': 'max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains', 'X-Frame-Options': 'SAMEORIGIN', 'X-Xss-Protection': '1; mode=block', 'X-Content-Type-Options': 'nosniff', 'Content-Security-Policy': "default-src 'self'", 'X-Content-Security-Policy': "default-src 'self'", 'X-WebKit-CSP': "default-src 'self'", 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate', 'Pragma': 'no-cache', 'Expires': '0', 'X-Cache': 'Error from cloudfront', 'Via': '1.1 3ddbbcaacc1ba68ddfab04ef45c3ca98.cloudfront.net (CloudFront)', 'X-Amz-Cf-Pop': 'MUC50-P1', 'X-Amz-Cf-Id': 'hBKLvd1lmcWNrI97jwGEnT2PH0jOXlvkMOkdfftTkAhqEkFEx8Xdaw=='})

CodePudding user response：

Reading the binance documentation it shows the proper way to reference the ClientError is binance.error.ClientError. You said in your question that you tried this, but in the provided code you only imported binance.spot - that isnt going to include importing ClientError.

Try importing the entire binance package with import binance and then try using binance.error.ClientError again. This should work for you.
