Ethereum Binance API Python: How to Extract Specific Output
As a developer of automated trading bots, you’re likely familiar with the importance of accurate and reliable data. In this article, we’ll explore how to use the Binance API in Python to extract specific output from your bot’s orders.
Prerequisites
Before diving into the code, make sure you have:
- A Binance API account (free plan available)
- The
requests
library installed (pip install requests
)
- The necessary credentials for your Binance API account
Code Example: Extracting Specific Order Output
Here’s an example of how to extract specific order output from the Binance API using Python:
import requests

Set up your Binance API credentials
API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
API_SECRET = 'YOUR_API_SECRET'
Set up the endpoint for retrieving order details
endpoint = f'
Define the specific output you want to extract (e.g. orderId
and clientOrderId
)
output_key = ['orderId', 'clientOrderId']
def get_order_details(symbol):
Set up the API request parameters
params = {
'symbol': symbol,
'limit': 1
}
Make the API request
response = requests.get(endpoint, headers={'API-Key': API_KEY, 'API-Secret': API_SECRET}, params=params)
Check if the response was successful
if response.status_code == 200:
Parse the JSON response
data = response.json()
Extract and return the specific output values
for key in output_key:
result = data.get(key)
print(f'{key}: {result}')
else:
print(f'Error: {response.text}')
Example usage
symbol = 'BNBBTC'
get_order_details(symbol)
Explanation
In this code example, we’re setting up a function get_order_details
that takes the symbol of the order you want to retrieve details for as an argument. We’re using the requests
library to send a GET request to the Binance API endpoint with parameters specific to the order you specified.
The response from the API is parsed as JSON and then iterated over, extracting each output value. In this example, we’re interested in the orderId
and clientOrderId
, so we print these values after extracting them from the JSON data.
Tips and Variations
- To retrieve more or less information, adjust the parameter to limit the number of orders retrieved.
- You can also use other API endpoints, such as
GET /api/v3/order/{orderId}
to retrieve a specific order’s details.
- Be sure to replace the placeholders (
YOUR_API_KEY
andYOUR_API_SECRET
) with your actual Binance API credentials.
