Connection error comes json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value:

[rasdehya]

Versions

OS: Windows10
Python: 3.6
krakenex: 3.0 2

What are you trying to achieve?

i try to make pubic query over kraken API, but i get a recursive error but it doest come each time.

for asset in my_pair:
            response = k.query_public('Depth', {'pair': asset, 'count': '3'})

What do you expect to happen?

Normally i get the result that i can format

What happens instead?

  File "C:\Users\ras\Python\Python36-32\lib\json\decoder.py", line 357, in raw_decode
    raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

It 'seems like a connection problem... I've seen a past issue that had been closed
i get an empty dict from the API ?? is it ?

I'm really new to prog and python, and i struggle with error handling...

I'm suprise i didnt get a time out or something like that, or a 502
Must i deal with try/catch ? someone has a trick for that ?
How could i know wich error to look at ? so i can repeat the query till successful

Sorry if too obvious.... tell me and i will google more

Thanks

The latest version of krakenex is v2.0.0.

The error looks like what you'd get in v0 and v1.

How did you install it?..

EDIT: In v2, exceptions raised due to networking errors should all be requests.exceptions.HTTPError.

Otherwise - correct, it's a connection problem, which you're likely to experience a lot these days with Kraken.

Thanks for reply Veox.
I installed it via pip with python 3.6 in windows 10
And yes V2.0 .... :-)) it was 3.0 of GPL.... hahaha... really new into all that.
EDIT: In v2, exceptions raised due to networking errors should all be requests.exceptions.HTTPError.

Exactly that is what i expected.
But What you say is that i have to try/catch this one in order to succeed ? or should it be raised automaticly by krakenex?...

at the time i write, my script work just fine...no connection pb with kraken

It's very strange that you get that error, if it's really at v2... Could you try this in your script?

print(krakenex.version.__version__)

It might be that you have several versions installed, and the script is picking up a different one than you think.

If it does say '2.0.0' - could you try force-reinstalling?..

I've never used pip on Windows, so can't help much here. On Linux, it'd be something like pip install --upgrade krakenex.

Otherwise, what's in my_pair?..

The exception is raised automatically by krakenex on network errors.

Here's a gist with a real-world example of how I'm using try/except in a script to debug an issue (#66)... Perhaps it's too convoluted if you're new to programming, though. :(
