Printing Binance API JSON Results with Python

==============================================================

In this article, we will show you how to print the JSON response of a Binance API request using Python’s requests library.

Required Libraries

———————-

• requests: A popular Python library for making HTTP requests.

• json: Not required but useful for parsing the JSON response.

Getting started with the code

——————————

First, let’s import the necessary libraries and set up our API keys:

import json





Set your Binance API key and secret
BINANCE_API_KEY = "YOUR_BINANCE_API_KEY"
BINANCE_API_SECRET = "YOUR_BINANCE_API_SECRET"

Your Binance symbol (e.g. ETH, BTC)
SYMBOL_TO_QUERY = "BTCUSDT" 
Replace with the symbol you want to retrieve data for
class BinanceAPI:
def __init__(self):
self.api_key = BINANCE_API_KEY
self.api_secret = BINANCE_API_SECRET

Making the API request

————————-

Next, let’s make a POST request to Binance API with desired ticker and parameters:

def get_price(ticker):
url = f"
headers = {
"X-MBX-APIKEY": self.api_key,
"X-MBX-SECRET-KEY": self.api_secret,
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
return json.loads(response.content)
else:
print(f"Error retrieving price: {response.status_code}")

Printing JSON response

——————————

Now that our API request is working, let’s modify it to only print relevant data:

def print_api_response(data):
if isinstance(data, dict):
print("API Response:")
for key, value in data.items():
print(f"{key}: {value}")
elif isinstance(data, list):
print("API Response:")
for item in data:
print(item)

Call our function with the desired symbol
price_data = get_price(SYMBOL_TO_QUERY)
print_api_response(price_data)

Example usage

—————-

Here is an example of how you can modify your code to select a specific symbol and display its price:

import json

Set your Binance API key and secret
BINANCE_API_KEY = "YOUR_BINANCE_API_KEY"
BINANCE_API_SECRET = "YOUR_BINANCE_API_SECRET"

Your Binance symbol (e.g. ETH, BTC)
SYMBOL_TO_QUERY = "ETHUSDT" 
Replace with the symbol you want to retrieve data for
class BinanceAPI:
def __init__(self):
self.api_key = BINANCE_API_KEY
self.api_secret = BINANCE_API_SECRET
def get_price(ticker):
url = f"
headers = {
"X-MBX-APIKEY": self.api_key,
"X-MBX-SECRET-KEY": self.api_secret,
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
return json.loads(response.content)
else:
print(f"Error fetching price: {response.status_code}")
def print_api_response(data):
if isinstance(data, dict):
print("API Response:")
for key, value in data.items():
print(f"{key}: {value}")
elif isinstance(data, list):
print("API Response:")
for item in data:
print(item)

Call our function with the desired symbol
price_data = get_price(SYMBOL_TO_QUERY)
print_api_response(price_data)

Don’t forget to replace YOUR_BINANCE_API_KEY and YOUR_BINANCE_API_SECRET with your actual API key and secret.
