buy id

[mymggithub]

Hi @Lu-Yi-Hsun,
Sorry to bug but am I doing it wrong to get the id when I buy a binary option.

print("login...")
I_want_money=IQ_Option("email","password")

ACTIVES="EURUSD"
ACTION="put"
expirations_mode=1
force_buy= False
cost=1
optionID = 0

optionID = I_want_money.buy(cost,ACTIVES,ACTION,expirations_mode,force_buy)
time.sleep(5)
print(optionID)

I want the id to later put and infinite loop to check if the option is a won or loss.
The thing is, the buy option executes just fine, but when hard coded it returns None to the variable and if done manually in shell it returns the id.
I looked through the other issues and did not find an answer.
I did find #14
what ever happened to "ok"?
ok,id_number=I_want_money.buy(2,"EURUSD","call",1,force_buy=False)
It seamed like a great idea.

Thanks in advanced.

@mymggithub
if you buy fail get None
success get id

[mymggithub]

I understand that, but it is not failing.

I see the option go through on iqoption while I run my code, but I get None.
After further investigation I find it seams to happen to the first time the function is called.

Can you share your code with us,please? The python file which you are trying to execute the API with.

[mymggithub]

I grew frustrated and stated from scratch, it reproduces the results of only buying an option displaying the ID.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import random
import time
import json
from iqoptionapi.stable_api import IQ_Option
from datetime import datetime

email = ""
password = ""

print("login...")
I_want_money=IQ_Option(email, password)
I_want_money.change_balance("PRACTICE")



ACTIVES="EURUSD"
ACTION="put"
expirations_mode=1
force_buy= False
cost=1
optionID = 0


while True:
    print("")
    print("Buying option...")
    print("Cost: ${}".format(cost))
    optionID = I_want_money.buy(cost,ACTIVES,ACTION,expirations_mode,force_buy)
    time.sleep(5)
    print(ACTIVES+" - History")
    print("--------------------------------")
    print("Option ID: {}".format(optionID))
    time.sleep(65)

give me log file

Try force_buy= True. Secondly, what you mean by only buying an option displaying the ID.
Have a look at the script and the image that I have created.

The script is:

Hope this will help.

It turned out to be a problem with python 2.7.
My bad.

What I was doing for a very bad quick fix was got the ID from open_options.
I would not recommend it.

d=I_want_money.get_optioninfo(10)
for open_options in d["msg"]["result"]["open_options"]:
    if open_options["active"] == ACTIVES:
    optionID = open_options["id"]

@JafferWilson do you still want to communicate?
Do you have a discord?

[Lu-Yi-Hsun]

So you get the problem in python2.7?
I will check that bug

[JafferWilson]

@mymggithub No I do not have any discord. I tried to help. Delighted to know it was Python version issues.

[mymggithub]

@mymggithub No I do not have any discord. I tried to help. Delighted to know it was Python version issues.

Thanks @JafferWilson I always appreciate the help, if it wasnt for you I wouldnt have thought it would be the python version.

[Lu-Yi-Hsun]

@mymggithub
i have been test on python2

you get the None ID because the "purchase time" is zero,so you "buy fail" and you get None ID

i think not python2 problem

import random
import time
import json
from iqoptionapi.stable_api import IQ_Option
from datetime import datetime
print("login...")
I_want_money = IQ_Option("email", "password")
I_want_money.change_balance("PRACTICE")
ACTIVES="EURUSD-OTC"
ACTION="put"
expirations_mode=1
force_buy= False
cost=1
optionID = 0
while True:
    print("")
    print("Buying option...")
    print("Cost: ${}".format(cost))
    optionID = I_want_money.buy(cost,ACTIVES,ACTION,expirations_mode,force_buy)
    time.sleep(0)
    print(ACTIVES+" - History")
    print("--------------------------------")
    print("Option ID: {}".format(optionID))
    time.sleep(0)
    cost=cost+0.01
    if optionID==None:
        break

[mymggithub]

I dont know that does not look like it had a "buy fail" to me.

[Lu-Yi-Hsun]

@mymggithub
i test python2.7 on window 10
still can not find your problem

please give """log file"",so i can know what happen

[mymggithub]

Yea, this is unbelievable.
Once I started logging using #54, tnx btw, the problem of the id being none at the beginning disappeared.
But if I take away logging it easily comes back.

[Lu-Yi-Hsun]

just print log, can get that bug?

[mymggithub]

There would be no log to print, as the bug does not appear during that time.
I am sending a video to show what is going on.
Yes I know if there was a log it would be in logging.txt
py.zip

[Lu-Yi-Hsun]

I Reproduct that bug.. i will try find bug!

[mymggithub]

i think "try: exception:" can be problem

I am using the code from the reply, also there is no

try:
    #code
except Exception as e:
    raise e

    print("Cost: ${}".format(cost))
    optionID = I_want_money.buy(cost,ACTIVES,ACTION,expirations_mode,force_buy)
    time.sleep(0)
    print(ACTIVES+" - History")
    print("--------------------------------")
    print("Option ID: {}".format(optionID))
    time.sleep(0)
    cost=cost+0.01
    if optionID==None:
        break

Or am I miss understanding?

I just added a try and still nothing.

[mymggithub]

print on terminel?

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,format='%(asctime)s %(message)s')

The video shows that the bug only shows when there is no.
logging.basicConfig

That applies to
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,format='%(asctime)s %(message)s')
and
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,format='%(asctime)s %(message)s',filename='logging.txt',filemode='w')

[mymggithub]

I dont know, its not a big deal.
If logging get rid of the bug, I am happy.

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,format='%(asctime)s %(message)s',filename='logging.txt',filemode='w')

[Lu-Yi-Hsun]

@mymggithub
try last version
i find how to fix that!

[mymggithub]

@Lu-Yi-Hsun
Awesome it works!
Thank you.
