DNS lookup failed: a DNS failure of either EAI_NODATA or EAI_NONAME. Node's documentation notes that this is not a standard POSIX error.
Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You can lose money on these products, and each provider publishes its own loss figure under FCA rules. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Automated and API trading can amplify losses through bugs, connectivity failures and runaway orders.

What should I do about ENOTFOUND?
Check the host name in your configuration against the API's documentation, then the network connection. Nothing was sent, so it is safe to try again.
