Python-binance: Withdrawal Exception raised

[Dynamikey]

Hi,

Thank you for sharing this great project!

I'm trying to automate the withdrawal process but am getting this error:

binance.exceptions.BinanceWithdrawException: BinanceWithdrawException: Name is empty.

result = client.withdraw(asset = currency, address = addr, amount = 10)

I thought the name field is optional?

Thank you,
Michael

Hi @Dynamikey as far as I'm aware the name parameter is not required. The official API documentation still shows it as optional https://github.com/binance-exchange/binance-official-api-docs/blob/master/wapi-api.md#withdraw

The message you're seeing is coming from the Binance API servers and wrapped in a BinanceWithdrawException object. I'd recommend asking on the Binance API Telegram group https://t.me/binance_api_english

[Dynamikey]

May I ask if you @sammchardy get the same error when running the withdrawal function?

[sammchardy]

@Dynamikey I haven't tried a withdrawal through the API recently.

I did notice in the Telegram channel comments about creating a new API key with withdraw permissions and trying again.

Hi, thanks for developing this great project.

I am encountering the same issue -- BinanceWithdrawException: Name is empty. -- when trying to programmatically withdraw funds.

I just created a new key with withdraw permissions as suggested earlier.

Thoughts?

Thank you.

Hi, got it working by making a withdrawal using that token. Worked like a charm after.

[mattpearson]

What token are you referring to? A new API key and secret?

[Dynamikey]

The token/coin you’re trying to withdraw from binance. You most likely have not done a withdrawal using that coin before on binance.

@Dynamikey I am also getting this issue, not sure what you mean by token. Im doing asset='LTC' and it is spitting out that error..

@priyen
I was just testing this and apparently name is not optional.
I'm not sure why this is, but you need to pass name as the form of the crypto you are trying to withdraw.

For example,
binance.withdraw(asset=currency, address=address, amount=quantity, name=currency)
works for me. Currency is equal to 'LTC'.

I would like to point out the code says this is optional, and it doesn't seem to be so. @sammchardy

[sammchardy]

@RenegadeEagle is the value 'LTC' the Label/Name you gave to that address through the Binance Web interface?

It's strange that the official documentation is still indicating the name is optional. I can see the JS lib seems to have solved it by passing the string "API Withdraw" as the name parameter and not allowing the end user

Maybe I can just pass the asset value as name if not set.

[mattpearson]

I too was able to get it to work by setting name and asset to the same value, in this case LTC. Not sure if it will work with others or just a fluke...

[RenegadeEagle]

@mattpearson I am trading many different types of cryptos and this seems to be the case for all of them.

This just seems to be a case of one of many of the issues in the Binance REST API.

[sammchardy]

Updated withdraw function to fill name with asset parameter if name is not passed.

Included in v0.5.17
