SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers and agents gracefully handle errors, rate limits, and security-related issues when interacting with the Aster Futures API v3, preventing failed requests and ensuring robust operation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Error Code Mapping: Understand and react to specific error codes returned by the API.
  • Rate Limit Management: Implement backoff strategies for 429 errors and understand request weight limits.
  • Security Error Handling: Address timestamp and signature validation issues.
  • Use Case: If your trading bot receives a -1021 INVALID_TIMESTAMP error, this skill guides you to first call the /fapi/v3/time endpoint to synchronize clocks before retrying the request.

Quick Start

Use the aster-api-errors-v3 skill to understand how to handle a -1121 BAD_SYMBOL error.

FAQPage Schema
How do I handle Aster Futures API v3 error codes and rate limits?

To handle Aster Futures API v3 errors, interpret HTTP status codes and specific error ranges like 10xx, 11xx, 20xx, and 40xx, then apply retry mechanisms and backoff strategies based on response headers and payloads.

Why does my trading bot get an INVALID_TIMESTAMP error from the Aster API?

An INVALID_TIMESTAMP error occurs due to clock desynchronization. To resolve this security exception, call the /fapi/v3/time endpoint to synchronize your local clock before retrying the original request.

What is the best way to manage 429 rate limit errors on the Aster Futures API?

The best way to manage 429 rate limit errors is to implement backoff strategies that respect the request weight limits specified in the API response headers, ensuring robust operation without exceeding thresholds.

How do I resolve a BAD_SYMBOL error code in Aster API responses?

To resolve a BAD_SYMBOL error, check the specific error code payload returned by the Aster Futures API, verify that the requested symbol is valid and active, and ensure your request parameters match the expected format.

When do I need to implement retry logic for Aster API security exceptions?

You need retry logic for security exceptions when the API returns invalid timestamp or signature validation failures, allowing your application to resynchronize parameters and reattempt the failed request gracefully.
