Expiration list doesn't works

[gpiedimonte]

Hello I've tryed the following script

### Initialisation
from iqoption_api import IQOption
api = IQOption("mail","pass")
api.login() # Returns True if successful else False

### Check Account Type
print(api.active_account) # prints `real` or `practice`
print(api.real_balance) # prints real account balance
print(api.practice_balance) # prints practice account balance
api.change_account("practice")
print(api.positions)  
print(api.tick) ## range 0, 59
api.subscribe_market("EURUSD")
print(api.instruments_to_id) ## All Instruments Websocket Returned
print(api.forex_instruments)
print(api.cfd_instruments)
print(api.crypto_instruments)
print ('UPDATE')
api.update_expiration_list("EURUSD")
print(api.binary_expiration_list)
api.open_position(direction="put", 
                expiration_time=api.binary_expiration_list["EURUSD"][-1]["time"],
                market_name="EURUSD",
                price=5,
                type="turbo"
               )

the following functions doesn't works, the update_expiration_list doesn't populate api.binary_expiration_list property

Update Expiration list
api.update_expiration_list("EURUSD")
Get Expiration List
print(api.binary_expiration_list["EURUSD"])

indeed when I try to put a buy action using:

api.open_position(direction="put", 
                expiration_time=api.binary_expiration_list["EURUSD"][-1]["time"],
                market_name="EURUSD",
                price=5,
                type="turbo"
               )

I obtain:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tbot-test.py", line 23, in
expiration_time=api.binary_expiration_list["EURUSD"][-1]["time"],
KeyError: 'EURUSD'

Checking api.binary_expiration_list is empty

Every request in api is socket based and asynchronous, there will be a time delay between request and response, it depends on your Internet speed and/or response time of the server. If data is not available even after requesting it, data hasn't arrived yet.

[SeanStayn]

You can handle it with a while loop and a delay, like the following:

1. Make request
2. While(true)
   3. Delay(5) // 5ms
   4. Check whether data exists // if true, break out
3. The rest of your code

You should handle the posibility that you never get a response, so implement a counter in the else block and break out after x times.

It's the simplest implementation to handle this problem.
