TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE]: The property 'options.family' must be one of: 0, 4, 6. Received false

Question

When using the node-binance-api, namely the order book, this error appears. I don't know how to solve it. Experience is not enough...

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE]: The property 'options.family' must be one of: 0, 4, 6. Received false

    Node.js v18.0.0

code that doesn't work

On the previous version, node js was running, but also with an error. However, it worked.

(node:6424) [DEP0153] DeprecationWarning: Type coercion of dns.lookup options is deprecated
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)

Answer 1

Following Oleg's links from the question comments, the solution is now stated here: link

In short, Node 18 deprectaited dns.lookup and dnsPromises.lookup options type coercion. link

The IP address version needs to be stated when creating an authorized binance object. The option default is false, that is incompatible with Node 18's dns lookup.

const binance = new Binance().options({
  APIKEY: '<YOUR-APIKEY>',
  APISECRET: '<YOUR-APISECRET>',
  'family': 4,
});

And from the node docs:

"family | The record family. Must be 4, 6, or 0. For backward compatibility reasons,'IPv4' and 'IPv6' are interpreted as 4 and 6 respectively. The value 0 indicates that IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are both returned. Default: 0"
