Ethereum: How can I get only the figure of a symbol in Binance API using Python
I can tell you how to get only the digit of the symbol in the Binance API using Python. However, please note that the Binance API requires authentication to access real-time data, and some features may be subject to change.
Here is an example of a code snippet that uses the requests library with JSON data to retrieve the latest price for a specific token (in this case ETH) from the Binance API:
import requests
import json
def get_eth_price(symbol):
Set Binance API credentials and access tokenapi_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
secret = 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY'
Create API endpoint URL
url = f'
try:
Send a GET request to the API
response = requests.get(url, headers={'x-api-key': api_key})
Check if the request was completed successfully
if response.status_code == 200:
Analysis of JSON data from the response
data = json.loads(response.text)
Returns the last price for the specified symbol
return data['price']
otherwise:
print(f"Failed to get price for {symbol}. Status code: {response.status_code}")
return None
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
return None
Example of use:
if __name__ == "__main__":
symbol = 'ETH'
Replace with desired symbol (eg ETH, BTC, etc.)
price = get_eth_price(symbol)
if price is not None:
print(f"Last price for {symbol}: {price}")
Important Notes:
- API Key: The
x-api-key header is required to authenticate the request. Make sure you understand how to get an access token from Binance for this purpose.
- Symbol Restriction: Please note that some symbols such as Bitcoin (BTC) are restricted for use in certain regions or due to market forces.
Code Explanation:
- The
get_eth_price function takes a symbol as input and creates an API endpoint URL using the symbol, tokenSymbol, and interval parameters.
- It sends a GET request to the API with the generated URL.
- If the request is successful, it parses the JSON data from the response and returns the latest price for the specified symbol.
- The function also catches any exceptions that may occur during the request.
Remember: Always check the Binance API documentation for the most up-to-date information on available symbols, pricing intervals, and authentication methods.
