A Python SDK to use the Binance REST API`s (com+testnet, com-margin+testnet, com-isolated_margin+testnet, com-futures+testnet, com-vanilla-options+testnet, us, tr) in a simple, fast, flexible, robust and fully-featured way.

Part of 'UNICORN Binance Suite'.

Receive Data from Binance REST API Endpoints

Initiate BinanceRestApiManager()

from unicorn_binance_rest_api import BinanceRestApiManager

ubra = BinanceRestApiManager(api_key="YOUR_BINANCE_API_KEY", 
                             api_secret="YOUR_BINANCE_API_SECRET", 
                             exchange="binance.com")

Print a snapshot of an order book

print(f"BNBBTC order book: {ubra.get_order_book(symbol='BNBBTC')}")

Get all symbol prices

print(f"All tickers:\r\n{ubra.get_all_tickers()}")

Get the used weight

Please Note: https://github.com/binance-us/binance-official-api-docs/blob/master/rest-api.md#limits

print(f"Used weight: {ubra.get_used_weight()}")

Send data to Binance REST API Endpoints

Initiate BinanceRestApiManager()

ubra = BinanceRestApiManager(api_key="YOUR_BINANCE_API_KEY", 
                             api_secret="YOUR_BINANCE_API_SECRET", 
                             exchange="binance.com-isolated_margin")

Buy BTC with a market order using 100 USDT

buy_order = ubra.create_margin_order(symbol="BTCUSDT",
                                     isIsolated="TRUE",
                                     side="BUY",
                                     type="MARKET",
                                     quoteOrderQty=100)
print(f"Buy Order Result: {buy_order}")

Stop ubra after usage to avoid memory leaks

When you instantiate UBRA with with, ubra.stop_manager() is automatically executed upon exiting the with-block.

with BinanceRestApiManager() as ubra:
    depth = ubra.get_order_book(symbol='BNBBTC')

Without with, you must explicitly execute ubra.stop_manager() yourself.

ubra.stop_manager()

Description

The Python module UNICORN Binance REST API provides an API to the Binance REST API`s of Binance (+Testnet), Binance Margin (+Testnet), Binance Isolated Margin (+Testnet), Binance Futures (+Testnet), Binance COIN-M Futures, Binance European Options (+Testnet), Binance US and Binance TR and needs to be used with a valid api_key and api_secret from the Binance Exchange www.binance.com, testnet.binance.vision or www.binance.us.

Be aware that the Binance REST API is request based. if you want to send and receive high frequency and high volume data, you can use the UNICORN Binance Websocket API in combination.

What are the benefits of the UNICORN Binance REST API?

• Supported exchanges:

Exchange	Exchange string
Binance	binance.com
Binance Testnet	binance.com-testnet
Binance Margin	binance.com-margin
Binance Margin Testnet	binance.com-margin-testnet
Binance Isolated Margin	binance.com-isolated_margin
Binance Isolated Margin Testnet	binance.com-isolated_margin-testnet
Binance USD-M Futures	binance.com-futures
Binance USD-M Futures Testnet	binance.com-futures-testnet
Binance Coin-M Futures	binance.com-coin_futures
Binance European Options	binance.com-vanilla-options
Binance European Options Testnet	binance.com-vanilla-options-testnet
Binance Portfolio Margin*	binance.com-portfolio_margin
Binance US	binance.us
Binance TR	trbinance.com

* Portfolio Margin support is currently limited to user data stream listenKey management (portfolio_margin_stream_get_listen_key(), portfolio_margin_stream_keepalive(), portfolio_margin_stream_close()) — needed for UBWA to open Portfolio Margin user data streams. The full set of Portfolio Margin REST endpoints (account, positions, orders, etc.) is not covered yet — contributions welcome!

• Helpful management features like get_used_weight(),

• Available as a package via pip and conda as precompiled C extension with stub files for improved Intellisense functions and source code for easier debugging of the source code. To the installation.

• Integration of test cases and examples.

• Customizable base URL and request timeout.

• Socks5 Proxy support:

  ubra = BinanceRestApiManager(exchange="binance.com", socks5_proxy_server="127.0.0.1:9050") 
  

  Read the docs or this how to for more information or try example_socks5_proxy.py.

• Excessively tested on Linux, Mac and Windows

Installation and Upgrade

The module requires Python 3.9 and runs smoothly up to and including Python 3.14.

PyPy wheels are available for all supported Python versions.

conda-forge note: Conda packages are provided for Python 3.10 – 3.14. Python 3.9 is not available on conda-forge — it was dropped from the global pinning after reaching end-of-life in October 2025. For Python 3.9, use pip install.

The current dependencies are listed here.

If you run into errors during the installation take a look here.

Packages are created automatically with GitHub Actions

When a new release is created, the Build and Publish GH+PyPi workflow spins up virtual Windows/Linux/Mac runners, compiles the Cython extensions, builds the wheels and publishes them on GitHub and PyPI. The conda-forge feedstock conda-forge/unicorn-binance-rest-api-feedstock picks up the new PyPI release automatically and builds the Conda packages on its own infrastructure. This is a transparent method that makes it possible to trace the source code behind a compilation.

A Cython binary, PyPy or source code based CPython wheel of the latest version with pip from PyPI

Our Cython and PyPy Wheels are available on PyPI, these wheels offer significant advantages for Python developers:

• Performance Boost with Cython Wheels: Cython is a programming language that supplements Python with static typing and C-level performance. By compiling Python code into C, Cython Wheels can significantly enhance the execution speed of Python code, especially in computationally intensive tasks. This means faster runtimes and more efficient processing for users of our package.

• PyPy Wheels for Enhanced Efficiency: PyPy is an alternative Python interpreter known for its speed and efficiency. It uses Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation, which can dramatically improve the performance of Python code. Our PyPy Wheels are tailored for compatibility with PyPy, allowing users to leverage this speed advantage seamlessly.

Both Cython and PyPy Wheels on PyPI make the installation process simpler and more straightforward. They ensure that you get the optimized version of our package with minimal setup, allowing you to focus on development rather than configuration.

On Raspberry Pi and other architectures for which there are no pre-compiled versions, the package can still be installed with PIP. PIP then compiles the package locally on the target system during installation. Please be patient, this may take some time!

SOCKS5 Proxy / Geoblocking

We would like to explicitly point out that in our opinion US citizens are exclusively authorized to trade on Binance.US and that this restriction must not be circumvented!

The purpose of supporting a SOCKS5 proxy in the UNICORN Binance Suite and its modules is to allow non-US citizens to use US services. For example, GitHub actions with UBS will not work without a SOCKS5 proxy, as they will inevitably run on servers in the US and be blocked by Binance.com. Moreover, it also seems justified that traders, data scientists and companies from the US analyze binance.com market data - as long as they do not trade there.
