Python Scripts for Binance Market Data

[crabby]

Hi Everyone!

I hope you're having a great week.

Binance is the largest crypto exchange in the world. Unfortunately, it still isn't easy for developers to access the market data they need to evaluate strategies, build applications, and analyze portfolios.

I've published an article that includes specific Python scripts that you can start using today to access live and historical market data on Binance.

These scripts also work on every other major exchange, so I think they are a great resource for the community here.

Python Scripts for Binance Websocket, Order Book, and Candlestick Data

If you have a few minutes, I would try them out and let me know if you have any questions or comments. I would be happy to help people get started using the scripts!

I checked the article and quite good and friendly tutorial since I have some knowledge on Python.
But for sure there are some people will find this a difficult to understand especially those people who are not so techy  or don't have any ideas on any programming languages.

For me, this is helpful for gathering data for trading especially studying the volume of some pair on Binance and good choice of Exchange since as you said in the article, Binance is one of the famous exchange now and probably have a quite huge trading volumes.

In fact, I think we don't need Python to look back on historical and price histories of previous traders. because everything is shown in the candlestick chart. We can totally see the chart, predict the future trend, we have indicators. then probably we do not need much Python and we will take a lot of time to start using mature Python. We only need a good knowledge of TA to be able to identify quite well the price of coins. anyway, i still thank you very much for sharing this new knowledge.

This information can definitely be useful to someone, because it expands the available functionality of the exchange. Those who understand programming can improve these scripts and use them for their own needs. Thank you to the author for this valuable information.

Thanks for sharing this information. It was interesting to read about the Shrimpy trading API and the documentation is really good. I might try it and leverage the public endpoints provided by Shrimpy API to collect some market historical data and perform analysis

I do not think that such codes are suitable for beginners as they need some technical knowledge of the cryptocurrencies on the one hand and how to write the codes in Python, so who will benefit will be the least.

I check https://www.shrimpy.io/ and they provide a more attractive interface, and it also provides the option to link to more than one platform so it will be the best.

Any way good luck.

This is actually a pretty good find, i was planning to build a trading bot myself but i couldn't find any good resources. I mean, my problem is how do i get the data and price history for algorithms that trades.
This is nice and neat tutorial easy to follow, im a bit interested in programming so this could be helpful.

Thanks for sharing! Yes, Shrimpy provides two different services. One is for investors who are looking to manage their portfolio, one is for application developers who need access to APIs like the ones discussed in this post. These APIs are definitely not for everyone, they are specifically for people who know how to code and want access to the market data so they can build trading bots, applications, or experiment with the market.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Watch videos that will help you to customize and manipulate strategies that you want to apply in your preferable trading bot. This is not enough, try to llook for some stuffs that will guide you, here is a website that I'll share to you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biSv6994rpY Try to watch and practice making it.

If you're already experienced and interested in programming then this is the best option for you. In college, we already used this Python Scripts and taught us the basic and fundamentals of using it. We apply it in Engineering courses and I'm pretty sure that it is very applicable to any thing that is programmable like trading bots.
