Here i entered my keys.

 using namespace std;


#define API_KEY         "my api key here,deleted for security"
#define SECRET_KEY      "secret key is here, deleted for security"

and main function

int main() {

    Json::Value result;
    long recvWindow = 10000;    

    string api_key      = API_KEY;
    string secret_key   = SECRET_KEY;
    BinaCPP::init( api_key , secret_key );


    // User Balance
    BinaCPP::get_account( recvWindow , result );
    for ( int i  = 0 ; i < result["balances"].size() ; i++ ) {
        string symbol = result["balances"][i]["asset"].asString();
        userBalance[symbol]["f"] = atof( result["balances"][i]["free"].asString().c_str() );
        userBalance[symbol]["l"] = atof( result["balances"][i]["locked"].asString().c_str() );
    }
    print_userBalance();

    // User data stream 
    BinaCPP::start_userDataStream(result );
    cout << result << endl;

    string ws_path = string("/ws/");
    ws_path.append( result["listenKey"].asString() );



    BinaCPP_websocket::init();
    BinaCPP_websocket::connect_endpoint( ws_userStream_OnData , ws_path.c_str() ); 
    BinaCPP_websocket::enter_event_loop(); 


}

and this is a part of BinaCPP.cpp

#include "binacpp.h"
#include "binacpp_logger.h"
#include "binacpp_utils.h"




string BinaCPP::api_key = "my api key here";
string BinaCPP::secret_key = "secret key here";
CURL* BinaCPP::curl = NULL;




//---------------------------------
void 
BinaCPP::init( string &api_key, string &secret_key ) 
{
    curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT);
    BinaCPP::curl = curl_easy_init();
    BinaCPP::api_key = api_key;
    BinaCPP::secret_key = secret_key;
}

I believe this was the error I was running across in python. If you set up your binance account with binance.us instead of binance.com you need to make sure that you change it in the scource files. In python it was as easy as passing the 'tld="us"' parameter when initializing the client class.

I saw that you had " url = |https://api.binance.com/api/v1/userDataStream|" You may need " url = |https://api.binance.us/api/v1/userDataStream|"

Also, I noticed that your url had api/v1, just wanted to make sure that when you are grabbing account information or other requests that require your api_secret key it should roll over api/v2 or api/v3.

I am not familiar with C++ but here is a solution to perform a find/replace in python. Hope this information helps you!

You will need to navigate to the directory your github-downloaded files are located and try the following:

check this code to make sure it is not replacing any .com's you may need.

import os
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(os.curdir):
    for f in files:
        file_name = os.path.join(root, f):
            try:
                with open(file_name, 'r') as fp:
                    data = fp.read().replace('.com', '.us')
                with open(file_name, 'w') as fp:
                    fp.write(data)
            except:
                print(f.ljust(20), 'failed')
