I got this error when trying to transfer Algos from one account to another. I am using Flask Python to build my interface.

Can I get help where I have got it wrong?

Hi @Mosuhli if you read the error correctly it says account 1 tried to “overspend”, i.e the account from which you are trying to transfer algos does not have sufficient algo balance, fund the account from algorand testnet faucet, and then try it.

Hi @AnishRane the account that i am transfering to has 20 algos while the one i am using to transfer has 30 algos. Please take a look at my code:

I just take the last full code as it is and try to test with but change some few lines:

from algosdk import algod
from algosdk import mnemonic

If a block explorer shows the correct balance but your node rejects as you show above because of balance = 0, this usually means that:

  1. either you’re connected to the wrong network
  2. or your node is not synced (check with goal node status)

Now regarding your issue with PureStake, have you tried: PureStake Developer Portal
Concretely, you are using the wrong endpoint:

    endpoint_address = 'https://testnet-algorand.api.purestake.io/ps2'

2 issues:

  1. you were on betanet instead of testnet
  2. you were using the indexer endpoint (idx2) instead of the algod endpoint (ps2)

Note: do not write your API key publicly as this will allow anyone to abuse it…

@fabrice the API key already edited, its not the original one.
