Welcome to python-binance v1.0.25

This is an unofficial Python wrapper for the Binance exchange REST API v3.

If you came here looking for the Binance exchange to purchase cryptocurrencies, then go here. If you want to automate interactions with Binance stick around.

This project is powered by

Please make sure your python-binance version is v.1.0.20 or higher. The previous versions are no longer recommended because some endpoints have been deprecated.

Features

• Implementation of all General, Market Data and Account endpoints.
• Asyncio implementation
• Testnet support for Spot, Futures and Vanilla Options

• Websocket handling with reconnection and multiplexed connections
• CRUD over websockets, create/fetch/edit through websockets for minimum latency.
• Symbol Depth Cache
• Historical Kline/Candle fetching function
• Withdraw functionality
• Deposit addresses
• Margin Trading
• Futures Trading

• Vanilla Options
• Proxy support (REST and WS)
• Orjson support for faster JSON parsing

• Support for the Gift Card API

Upgrading to v1.0.0+

The breaking changes include the migration from wapi to sapi endpoints which related to the wallet endpoints detailed in the Binance Docs

The other breaking change is for websocket streams and the Depth Cache Manager which have been converted to use Asynchronous Context Managers. See examples in the Async section below or view the websockets and depth cache docs.

Quick Start

Register an account with Binance.

Generate an API Key and assign relevant permissions.

If you are using an exchange from the US, Japan or other TLD then make sure pass tld='us' when creating the client.

To use the Spot, Vanilla Options , or Futures Testnet pass testnet=True when creating the client.

pip install python-binance

Async Example

Orjson support

Python-binance also supports orjson for parsing JSON since it is much faster than the builtin library. This is especially important when using websockets because some exchanges return big messages that need to be parsed and dispatched as quickly as possible.

However, orjson is not enabled by default because it is not supported by every python interpreter. If you want to opt-in, you just need to install it (pip install orjson) on your local environment. Python-binance will detect the installion and pick it up automatically.
