API Connectivity Test
Test your network's connectivity to the cryptocurrency APIs used by EleksCava. This tool helps you determine if your network can access the required APIs for real-time price updates.
About API Connectivity
EleksCava relies on these cryptocurrency APIs to provide real-time price updates. This test helps you determine if your local network can access these APIs.
How This Test Works
This test checks if your network can establish a connection to each API endpoint. It uses a special method that bypasses browser security restrictions to directly test network connectivity. The results accurately reflect whether your network can reach these APIs, which is what matters for your EleksCava device.
Understanding Test Results
- Connection Successful: Your network can reach this API. Your EleksCava device should be able to connect to it.
- Connection Failed: Your network cannot reach this API. Your EleksCava device will likely have the same issue.
- Multiple Tests: The test attempts multiple connections to account for intermittent issues. If any attempt succeeds, the API is considered accessible.
Common Network Restrictions
- Regional Restrictions: Some APIs may be restricted in certain countries or regions. For example, Binance API might be inaccessible in some locations.
- Network Firewall: Corporate or institutional networks often block access to cryptocurrency-related websites and APIs.
- ISP Blocking: Some Internet Service Providers may restrict access to cryptocurrency services.
- Intermittent Connectivity: Gate.io API in particular may experience intermittent connectivity issues in some regions, especially on China Telecom networks in southern China.
About Binance APIs
- Binance: The main Binance API, used by most EleksCava devices. May be restricted in some regions.
- Binance US: Specifically for users in the United States. Only accessible from US IP addresses.
- Binance Data API: An alternative data API that may have better accessibility in some regions.
- Binance Testnet: A test network API that can be used for development and testing purposes.
Gate.io Specific Issues
Note about Gate.io API
Gate.io API is known to have connectivity issues in certain regions, particularly in China. If you're experiencing connection failures with Gate.io, this is likely due to regional network restrictions. Try using Binance or Binance US APIs instead.
Recommendations
- Configure Alternative API: If one API is inaccessible, configure your EleksCava to use an alternative API through the web configuration interface.
- Use VPN: Consider using a VPN service if your network restricts access to these APIs.
- Check Multiple Times: Network conditions can change. If a test fails, try running it again at different times.
- Minimum Requirement: Your EleksCava device needs access to at least one of these APIs to function properly.
