Why balances in Node-Binance-Api not working? - node.js

Question

I tried to interact in Node js with the Binance Testnet Spot Api. I use "node-binance-api" but it prints only weird stuff when I want to buy sell or get the balance. Can you help me with that issue. I also set up a raspberry pi with the same code and it works on the raspberry pi but why not on windows. Here is my code:
const Binance = require('node-binance-api');
const binance = new Binance().options({
APIKEY: '#####',
APISECRET: '#####',
verbose: true,
urls: {
base: "https://testnet.binance.vision/api/", // remove this to trade on mainnet
combineStream: 'wss://testnet.binance.vision/stream?streams=',
stream: 'wss://testnet.binance.vision/ws/'
},
});
binance.balance((error, balances) => {
if ( error ) return console.log(error);
console.info("balances()", balances);
if(balances.USDT.available != undefined){
console.info("USDT balance: ", balances.USDT.available);
}
});
And here is the output:

Answer 1

I hate being referred to the docs but take a look through them. It says to wrap the entry point of your application with useServerTime()
await binance.useServerTime();
binance.balance((error, balances) => {
if ( error ) return console.error(error);
console.info("balances()", balances);
console.info("BNB balance: ", balances.BNB.available);
});
also Binance.info = { timeOffset: -2000 }; this is in the node-binance-api you can edit the offset and it will help too! Sorry this was a year later!
