Title: Why Poloniex API is so slow Post by: Hippey on June 13, 2017, 04:27:32 PM Hi
I want to use Poloniex trading api for my purposes, i wrote simple api requester which calls returnBalances command and this is speed log: Quote Elapsed 745ms Elapsed 984ms Elapsed 33520ms Elapsed 363ms Elapsed 33734ms Elapsed 490ms Elapsed 33406ms Elapsed 230ms Elapsed 358ms Elapsed 299ms Elapsed 364ms Elapsed 215ms Elapsed 204ms Elapsed 283ms Elapsed 354ms Elapsed 32842ms Elapsed 1711ms Elapsed 31565ms Elapsed 330ms Elapsed 2631ms Code waits a second between requests. As you can see average waiting time is 200-400ms per request, but sometimes i need to wait as long as 30secs, why this happening? And this is only returnBalances command, what will happen if i use trading api like placeOrder, moveOrder? It will be catastrophy if i will need to wait 30secs. What i should do improve API requests to avoid 30secs sleep? Thanks! |
