Ethereum API Error: Duplicate Values ​​for Parameter ‘symbols’

The Ethereum API error you’re experiencing occurs when there are duplicate values ​​for a specific parameter, in this case, symbols. This can happen if you try to retrieve the prices of multiple symbols simultaneously using the same API endpoint.

Cause:

There are several reasons why your code might be encountering this issue. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

• Using too many parameters: Ethereum APIs typically have a limited number of parameters that can be used together. If you’re trying to retrieve prices for multiple symbols, it’s likely that one of the values ​​is redundant or identical to another parameter.

• Using the wrong API endpoint: Make sure you’re using the correct API endpoint and URL for retrieving Ethereum prices. Some endpoints may have specific requirements or restrictions on parameters.

• API rate limiting

  

  : The Ethereum API has rate limits in place to prevent abuse. If your code is exceeding these limits, it will throw an error when trying to retrieve duplicate values.

Solution:

To fix this issue, you can try the following:

• Use the correct API endpoint and URL: Ensure that you’re using the correct endpoint and URL for retrieving Ethereum prices.

• Limit parameters: Instead of using a large list of symbols, try limiting your request to a smaller set of values. You can use the limit parameter to specify the number of values ​​to return.

• Use a different API method: If you’re trying to retrieve multiple symbols with a single API call, consider using a different API method that allows for multi-symbol retrieval in a single call.

Code example:

import requests



Define your Ethereum API endpoint and parameters

api_endpoint = "

params = {

    'symbols': ['ETH', 'LTC'], 
Retrieve prices for two symbols at once

    'limit': 10, 
Limit the number of values ​​returned

}



Set your API key (replace with your actual API key)

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"



Make a GET request to the Ethereum API endpoint

response = requests.get(api_endpoint, params=params, headers={'X-API-KEY': api_key})



Check if the response was successful

if response.status_code == 200:

    
Parse the JSON response and retrieve prices for each symbol

    data = response.json()

    for symbol in ['ETH', 'LTC']:

        price = data[symbol]['price']

        print(f"Price for {symbol}: ${price:.2f}")

else:

    print("Error:", response.status_code)

For more information on using the Ethereum API, please refer to the official GitHub documentation:

• [Ethereum API](

By following these steps and adjusting your code accordingly, you should be able to resolve the duplicate values ​​error and successfully retrieve prices for multiple Ethereum symbols.
