Error “asset does not exist” in Rest api

post by AlgoXT on Mar 16, 2022

I installed the node on the server according to the documentation. But there is a problem with the rest api

For example, the following message is displayed when receiving information from an asset

What is the problem

{
    "message": "asset does not exist"
}

Hi AlgoXT,

Are you sure the asset you’re trying to query exists on the network you’re making the query against?

Yes

I also tested other methods, they also give errors. For example by running

server-ip:8080/v2/accounts/GFX3R7USRR74J4MDHR5QDWDCPZTS56ME55ABENTOAZA5AW3XAXVNIVFK6E

I receive the following output:

{
    "address": "GFX3R7USRR74J4MDHR5QDWDCPZTS56ME55ABENTOAZA5AW3XAXVNIVFK6E",
    "amount": 0,
    "amount-without-pending-rewards": 0,
    "apps-local-state": [],
    "apps-total-schema": {
        "num-byte-slice": 0,
        "num-uint": 0
    },
    "assets": [],
    "created-apps": [],
    "created-assets": [],
    "min-balance": 100000,
    "pending-rewards": 0,
    "reward-base": 1452,
    "rewards": 0,
    "round": 71155,
    "status": "Offline"
}

Which does not display account information

or with run this :

http://server-ip:8080/v2/transactions

I receive the following output:

{
    "message": "operation not available during catchup"
}

I installed Node several times according to the documentation but it did not work. I feel like I’m repeating a mistake between installation

If you’re trying to spin up a node that is connected to a public network it will take some time to catch up.

If you don’t need it to be an archival node I’d recommend setting up a non-archival node and using fast catchup, described here Install a node - Algorand Developer Portal

If you’re using the node for development I’d recommend using the Sandbox GitHub - algorand/sandbox: Algorand node sandbox, especially the dev config mode

In general, I need to receive transaction information related to liquidity.

So I have to check the transactions instantly.

Now should I install node or indexer? Or use Sandbox?

(The node is currently installed on the server and the problem that arose was solved)
