I wrote a Binance Python API guide for 2026. It is mainly for developers who are past the basic “how do I call this endpoint?” stage and are dealing with the operational side of Binance systems: - REST
- WebSocket streams
- WebSocket API trading requests
- reconnects
- local order books
- depth cache consistency
- trailing stops
- shared order book infrastructure
I also compare python-binance, binance-connector-python, CCXT, and my own UNICORN Binance Suite. Disclosure: I am the author of the UNICORN Binance Suite. So the guide is naturally written from that perspective, but the comparison is not meant as “everything else is bad”. These tools solve different problems. My main argument: Calling the endpoint is the easy part. The harder part is knowing when your bot should stop trusting the data it is currently using.

UBDCC: A self-hosted DepthCache cluster for Binance order books (MIT, any language via REST)If you run more than one bot or service against Binance order books, you have probably bumped into the same set of headaches: - Each process keeps its own DepthCache, and they slowly drift out of sync with each other
- Cold starts eat minutes of REST snapshots before the cache is usable again
- Silent desync — top of book looks fine, deeper levels are wrong, and you only find out from a bad fill
- Orphaned price levels beyond Binance's top-1000 guarantee that quietly stay in your book forever
- Your Go service and your Python research notebook can't share one book without writing glue
UBDCC (UNICORN Binance Depth Cache Cluster) turns DepthCaches into a small self-hosted service that any language can query over REST/JSON. One source of truth, kept fresh by a cluster instead of a single process. What you get:- Sequence validation + gap detection per stream — desyncs surface as errors, not as bad data
- Replication and load balancing across DepthCacheNodes — losing a pod doesn't lose your book
- Self-healing cluster: nodes drop in/out, work gets redistributed automatically
- Built-in rate limiting so snapshot refreshes never trip Binance
- ~3 ms internal response times for bids/asks queries
- Spot, Futures, Options across binance.com / binance.us / binance.tr / testnets
- Browser dashboard with an API builder that hands you ready-to-paste code for curl, Python, JS, Go, Rust, Java, C#, PHP
Try it locally:pip install ubdcc
ubdcc start --dcn 4
That spins up a four-node cluster on your machine. Same stack scales to Docker Compose or Kubernetes when you want to move it off your laptop. Resources:MIT licensed, part of the broader UNICORN Binance Suite. Happy to hear what's missing for your workflow — feature ideas and pain points welcome.

We added support for Binance Jersey! ubwa = unicorn_binance_websocket_api.BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.je") |

Hello! I would like to introduce a python API to manage websockets to binance! Project: https://github.com/LUCIT-Systems-and-Development/unicorn-binance-websocket-apiimport unicorn_binance_websocket_api
ubwa = unicorn_binance_websocket_api.BinanceWebSocketApiManager(exchange="binance.com")
ubwa.create_stream(['trade', 'kline_1m'], ['btcusdt', 'bnbbtc', 'ethbtc'])
while True:
oldest_data_from_stream_buffer = ubwa.pop_stream_data_from_stream_buffer()
if oldest_data_from_stream_buffer:
print(oldest_data_from_stream_buffer)
# What are the benefits of the UNICORN Binance WebSocket API? - Fully managed websockets and 100% auto-reconnect! Also handles maintenance windows!
- 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) iPython
- Also nice to use with the Jupyter Notebook
- Monitoring API service and a check_command for ICINGA/Nagios icinga2-demo
- Excessively tested on Linux, Mac and Windows

By the way where is Alice Bob? He sold?  I am still there ps. if you know me, then i think you also know, that the team allways has delivered what they have promised (ok, to be honest, there was one (1) fail with discovery channel) so stopp flaming please and be patient |

Dear Cloak Community
We are pleased to announce our new forum https://forum.cloakcoin.com and invite you to join and talk with us. We have chosen a fresh start with a well known system – Simple Machines Forum – which will be very familiar to you. A fresh start means a blank page in this case as there was no possibility to import the old threads. Join us and lets share valuable information for the benefit of all of us in this community.
Also, just a quick note to say to please ensure your wallet is unlocked when sending with Enigma. Enigma sends differ from regular sends as they need to be signed by the sender at the end. Having your wallet either unlocked for minting or fully unlocked both be fine. We'll add a prompt as the Enigma send completes for the next release. I expect a v2.0.1.2 [point release] to be released pretty soon to address this and a couple of other very minor issues.
