node-binance-api: Getting issue ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE

Whenever I try to call any API I get this error

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

I found a better solution than downgrade. At the Binance object constructor, you can specify the property ‘family’ in the options object, with 0, 4 or 6, as mentioned in the error, referring to IPv4+6, IPv4 and IPv6, respectively. The option default is false, that is incompatible with Node 18’s dns lookup.

As suggested by @luiztools, it works. I use Node 18 and did modify the ‘family’ options to 4 which is IPV4(my internet provider support IPV4). You guys can try to change the number to 0, 4 or 6 Here is my sample code

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

async function main() {
    binance.websockets.depthCache(['BNBBUSD'], (symbol, depth) => {
        let bids = binance.sortBids(depth.bids);
        let asks = binance.sortAsks(depth.asks);
        console.info(symbol+" depth cache update");
        console.info("bids", bids);
        console.info("asks", asks);
        console.info("best bid: "+binance.first(bids));
        console.info("best ask: "+binance.first(asks));
        console.info("last updated: " + new Date(depth.eventTime));
    });
}
main();

this solved the problem on my case using node v18.12.1

Is there any reason why the above solution still wasn’t introduced into the code base?

Thanks after downgrading node version it works fine.

@Sadmansamee I have this problem only on version 18. On this version, the application does not run at all. On 17.9 everything works, only an error crashes at startup. Снимок экрана 2022-05-01 в 14 59 07 While I’m working like this)
