How to fetchOrderbook using Proxy

OS: Windows Server 2019 Datacenter Programming Language version: Node.js 15.3.0 CCXT version: 1.49.98 Exchange: Binance and All Exchanges Method: exchange.fetchOrderBook()

Hello!

I am trying to fetchOrderBook using the proxy method but are not successfull when doing the request. The proxy IP I use must use: username, password, proxyIP and port which I have just confirmed are a working proxyIP in another C# application. (I have changed those for this post as seen)

I am not sure if I miss something of how to set this up?

Thank you!

This is the code I am trying to use:

        var HttpsProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent');
        
        var username = 'myusername';
        var password = 'mypassword';
        var proxyip = '209.197.291.180';
        var port = '9279';
        var proxy = 'https://' + username + ':' + password + '@' + proxyip + ':' + port; 
        var agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxy);

        const exchange = new ccxt.binance({ enableRateLimit: true, agent, 'timeout': 10000 });
        exchange.verbose = true;

        const orderbook = await exchange.fetchOrderBook("BTC/USDT", 5);
        console.log(orderbook);

This is the error response I get: (with exchange.verbose = true)

I think I did find the problem. It seems that the https:// is wrong, it should be http://. The proxy itself should be accessed by HTTP and not HTTPS. So I changed it to this and now it was possible to return the orderbook.

var proxy = 'http://' + username + ':' + password + '@' + proxyip + ':' + port;

Thank you very much for your help and now I have the newest version of ccxt also.

Thank you!

@jackpotcityco pardon, i confused it with python, my bad. For node, please, upgrade your version of CCXT first (the most recent version is 1.72+). Let us know if that does not help
