How to change Binance server time using Python? - time

Question

Question
How can I change the server time of Binance, one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchange, using the programming language Python?
Details
I am using the python library `python-binance' to interact with Binance.
When I typed the code below, you get the local time based on your location.
from binance.client import Client
from datetime import datetime
# client = Client('api_key' , 'api_secret') # Binance API key
raw_server_time = client.get_server_time()
server_time = datetime.fromtimestamp(raw_server_time['serverTime']/1000.0)
server_time
Since I am in France, the result is as follows:
>>> datetime.datetime(2020, 5, 23, 12, 49, 10, 13000)
Even though I am in France, I would like to make Binance think that I am in the Eastern part of the USA (e.g. New York). So I have tried the requests library, supported in the python-binance library as below.
proxies = {
'http': 'http://168.169.146.12:8080'
}
# in the Client instantiation
client = Client(api_key, api_secret, {'proxies': proxies})
# or on an individual call
client.get_all_orders(symbol='BTCUSDT', requests_params={'proxies': proxies})
But I get the following error message.
>>> BinanceAPIException: APIError(code=-1021): Timestamp for this request was 1000ms ahead of the server's time.
You can find more detailed information about the code above in the documentation page of the python-binance library. The http server was found in the website free-proxy.cz. A screenshot of the list of New-York based proxies are also provided below.

Answer 1

If you are running Windows 10, or Windows 11, do the following:
Start -> search date and time
Make sure you have set Set time automatically to On
In the opened window you have an option Synchronize your clock, and press Sync now.
I observed this problem sometimes after my PC goes to sleep.

I got this error too, while writing python code in Microsoft Visual Code(MVC).
When i kept my Bot running, this also happens over time while bot was active. So i needed the Bot to alter my computer time. I found the following sollution:
How to adjust my computer time:
important to run program as 'Administrator', and have WindowsTime active.
Search in 'services' for WindowsTime and make sure this is running/active. Auto-run on startup if needed
At this line of code on startup of the Bot:
import os
os.system('w32tm/resync')
Keeping Bot active over time
After i synced the time at the start, i am monitoring error responses from binance for the TimeStamp error. When the timestamp message is found it will resync my computer time again.
try:
###put for example buy code here###
except Exception as e:
print(e)
substring = 'Timestamp for this request was 1000ms ahead of the server'
if substring in e.message:
os.system('w32tm/resync')
Hopes this helps you all.

import time
import win32api
client = Client(api_key, api_secret)
server_time = client.get_server_time()
gmtime=time.gmtime(int((server_time["serverTime"])/1000))
win32api.SetSystemTime(gmtime[0],gmtime[1],0,gmtime[2],gmtime[3],gmtime[4],gmtime[5],0) // Needed Administrator Permission

For Windows, try this: https://steemit.com/crypto/#biyi/how-to-resolve-binance-s-timestamp-ahead-of-server-s-time-challenge
net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net start w32time
w32tm /resync
