An unofficial Python API to use the Binance Websocket API`s (com+testnet, com-margin+testnet, com-isolated_margin+testnet, com-futures+testnet, us, tr, jex, dex/chain+testnet) in a easy, fast, flexible, robust and fully-featured way.

Part of 'UNICORN Binance Suite'.

Create a multiplex websocket connection to Binance with just 3 lines of code:

from unicorn_binance_websocket_api.unicorn_binance_websocket_api_manager import BinanceWebSocketApiManager

binance_websocket_api_manager = BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.com")
binance_websocket_api_manager.create_stream(['trade', 'kline_1m'], ['btcusdt', 'bnbbtc', 'ethbtc'])

And 4 more lines to print the receives:

while True:
    oldest_stream_data_from_stream_buffer = binance_websocket_api_manager.pop_stream_data_from_stream_buffer()
    if oldest_stream_data_from_stream_buffer:
        print(oldest_stream_data_from_stream_buffer)

Basically that's it, but there are more options:

Convert received raw webstream data into well-formed Python dictionaries with UnicornFy:

unicorn_fied_stream_data = UnicornFy.binance_com_websocket(oldest_stream_data_from_stream_buffer)

or

binance_websocket_api_manager.create_stream(['trade'], ['btcusdt'], output="UnicornFy")

Subscribe / unsubscribe new markets and channels:

markets = ['engbtc', 'zileth']
channels = ['kline_5m', 'kline_15m', 'kline_30m', 'kline_1h', 'kline_12h', 'depth5']

binance_websocket_api_manager.subscribe_to_stream(stream_id, channels=channels, markets=markets)

binance_websocket_api_manager.unsubscribe_from_stream(stream_id, markets=markets)

binance_websocket_api_manager.unsubscribe_from_stream(stream_id, channels=channels)

Discover even more possibilities or use this script to stream everything from "binance.com".

This should be known by everyone using this lib: Do you want consistent data from binance?

Description

The Python module UNICORN Binance WebSocket API provides an API to the Binance Websocket API`s of Binance (+Testnet), Binance Margin (+Testnet), Binance Isolated Margin (+Testnet), Binance Futures (+Testnet), Binance US, Binance TR, Binance JEX, Binance DEX and Binance DEX Testnet and supports the streaming of all public streams like trade, kline, ticker, depth, bookTicker, forceOrder, compositeIndex and blockheight and also all private userData streams which needs to be used with a valid api_key and api_secret from the Binance Exchange www.binance.com, testnet.binance.vision, www.binance.us or www.jex.com - for the DEX you need a user address from www.binance.org or testnet.binance.org and you can get funds for the testnet.

Be aware that the Binance websocket API just offers to receive data. If you would like to set orders, withdraws and so on, you can to use the UNICORN Binance REST API in combination.

What are the benefits of the UNICORN Binance WebSocket API?

• Fully managed websockets and 100% auto-reconnect! Also handles maintenance windows!
• Supported exchanges:

Exchange	Exchange string
Binance	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.com")
Binance Testnet	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.com-testnet")
Binance Margin	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.com-margin")
Binance Margin Testnet	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.com-margin-testnet")
Binance Isolated Margin	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.com-isolated_margin")
Binance Isolated Margin Testnet	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.com-isolated_margin-testnet")
Binance USD-M Futures	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.com-futures")
Binance USD-M Futures Testnet	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.com-futures-testnet")
Binance Coin-M Futures	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.com-coin-futures")
Binance US	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.us")
Binance TR	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="trbinance.com")
Binance JEX	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="jex.com")
Binance DEX	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.org")
Binance DEX Testnet	BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.org-testnet")

• Streams are processing asynchronous/concurrent (Python asyncio) and each stream is started in a separate thread, so you dont need to deal with asyncio in your code!

• No use of the twisted module, so you can use this lib in a daemonized application (compatible with python-daemon).

• Supports subscribe/unsubscribe on all exchanges! (Take a look to the max supported subscriptions per stream in the endpoint configuration overview!)

• UNICORN Binance WebSocket API respects Binance's API guidelines and protects you from avoidable reconnects and bans.

• Support for multiple private !userData streams with different api_key and api_secret. (example_multiple_userdata_streams.py)

• Pick up the received data from the stream_buffer - if you can not store your data in cause of a temporary technical issue, you can kick back the data to the stream_buffer which stores the receives in the RAM till you are able to process the data in the normal way again. Learn more!

• Use separate stream_buffers for specific streams or users!

• Watch the stream_signal_buffer to receive CONNECT, DISCONNECT and FIRST_RECEIVED_DATA signals about the streams! Learn more!

• Get the received data unchanged as received, as Python dictionary or converted with UnicornFy into well-formed Python dictionaries. Use the output parameter of create_stream() to control the output format.

• Helpful management features like get_binance_api_status(), get_current_receiving_speed(), get_errors_from_endpoints(), get_limit_of_subscriptions_per_stream(), get_request_id(), get_result_by_request_id(), get_results_from_endpoints(), get_stream_buffer_length(), get_stream_info(), get_stream_list(), get_stream_id_by_label(), get_stream_statistic(), get_stream_subscriptions(), get_version(), is_update_availabe(), pop_stream_data_from_stream_buffer(), print_summary(), replace_stream(), set_stream_label(), set_ringbuffer_error_max_size(), subscribe_to_stream(), stop_stream(), stop_manager_with_all_streams(), unsubscribe_from_stream(), wait_till_stream_has_started() and many more! Explore them here.

• Monitor the status of the created BinanceWebSocketApiManager() instance within your code with get_monitoring_status_plain() and specific streams with get_stream_info().

• Nice to use with iPython: "IPython (Interactive Python) is a command shell for interactive computing that offers introspection, rich media, shell syntax, tab completion, and history." (example_interactive_mode.py)

• Also nice to use with the Jupyter Notebook :)

• Monitoring API service and a check_command for ICINGA/Nagios

• Excessively tested on Linux, Mac and Windows

Donate

Developing, documenting and testing the UNICORN Binance Suite and supporting the community takes a lot of time and time is a form of cost. I am extremely happy to do this, but need a solution for sharing the costs.

I think we are lucky, as our community consists of traders and programmers I expect to find mostly rational thinking people who also benefit financially from these libraries.

I would like to create a fair model for funding. My goals are that unicorn-binance-websocket-api, unicorn-binance-rest-api and unicorn-fy remain freely available as open source and that I am compensated at least to some extent and thus can invest my time more easily.

If you know the hooker principle from negotiation research or game theory, you know about the problem that people don't often pay for something out of their own impulse if they have already received it for free.

So my idea is to give every donor who gives an amount over 50 EUR access to a private Github repository where Python classes for trading algos are provided (OrderBook, advanced stop-loss, ...). Moreover, maybe a nice ApiTrader community will be formed.

So the donor not only helps to push the open source development but also gets access to a well maintained collection of practical code for little money.

Furthermore community members can help me by donating own developments to make the unicorn-coding-club repository more attractive to create further incentives for new donors. This way we generate added value for all sides in an uncomplicated way.

If you donated at least 50 EUR (without transaction fee), please send me a message with a confirmation and your Github username via https://www.lucit-development.co/contact.html, I will invite you to the unicorn-coding-club as soon as possible.
