REST APIs
All REST API endpoints are available through the rest-api
module. The REST API enables you to fetch market data, manage trades, and access account information. Note that some endpoints require authentication using your Binance API credentials.
import { Spot, SpotRestAPI } from '@binance/spot';
const configurationRestAPI = {
apiKey: 'your-api-key',
apiSecret: 'your-api-secret',
};
const client = new Spot({ configurationRestAPI });
client.restAPI
.exchangeInfo({ symbol: 'BNBUSDT' })
.then((res) => res.data())
.then((data: SpotRestAPI.ExchangeInfoResponse) => console.log(data))
.catch((err) => console.error(err));
More examples can be found in the examples/rest-api
folder.
Configuration Options
The REST API supports the following advanced configuration options:
timeout
: Timeout for requests in milliseconds (default: 1000 ms).proxy
: Proxy configuration:host
: Proxy server hostname.port
: Proxy server port.protocol
: Proxy protocol (http or https).auth
: Proxy authentication credentials:username
: Proxy username.password
: Proxy password.
keepAlive
: Enable HTTP keep-alive (default: true).compression
: Enable response compression (default: true).retries
: Number of retry attempts for failed requests (default: 3).backoff
: Delay in milliseconds between retries (default: 1000 ms).httpsAgent
: Custom HTTPS agent for advanced TLS configuration.privateKey
: RSA or ED25519 private key for authentication.privateKeyPassphrase
: Passphrase for the private key, if encrypted.timeUnit
: Specify the time unit for timestamps (e.g., milliseconds or microseconds).
Timeout
You can configure a timeout for requests in milliseconds. If the request exceeds the specified timeout, it will be aborted. See the Timeout example for detailed usage.
Proxy
The REST API supports HTTP/HTTPS proxy configurations. See the Proxy example for detailed usage.
Keep-Alive
Enable HTTP keep-alive for persistent connections. See the Keep-Alive example for detailed usage.
Compression
Enable or disable response compression. See the Compression example for detailed usage.
Retries
Configure the number of retry attempts and delay in milliseconds between retries for failed requests. See the Retries example for detailed usage.
HTTPS Agent
Customize the HTTPS agent for advanced TLS configurations. See the HTTPS Agent example for detailed usage.
Key Pair Based Authentication
The REST API supports key pair-based authentication for secure communication. You can use RSA
or ED25519
keys for signing requests. See the Key Pair Based Authentication example for detailed usage.
Time Unit
The REST API supports different time units for timestamp values. See the Time Unit example for more details.
Certificate Pinning
To enhance security, you can use certificate pinning with the httpsAgent
option in the configuration. This ensures the client only communicates with servers using specific certificates. See the Certificate Pinning example for detailed usage.
Error Handling
The REST API provides detailed error types to help you handle issues effectively:
ConnectorClientError
: General client error.RequiredError
: Thrown when a required parameter is missing.UnauthorizedError
: Indicates missing or invalid authentication credentials.ForbiddenError
: Access to the requested resource is forbidden.TooManyRequestsError
: Rate limit exceeded.RateLimitBanError
: IP address banned for exceeding rate limits.ServerError
: Internal server error.NetworkError
: Issues with network connectivity.NotFoundError
: Resource not found.BadRequestError
: Invalid request.
See the Error Handling example for detailed usage.
Testnet
For testing purposes, /api/*
endpoints can be used in the Spot Testnet. Update the basePath
in your configuration:
import { Spot, SpotRestAPI, SPOT_REST_API_TESTNET_URL } from '@binance/spot';
const configurationRestAPI = {
apiKey: 'your-api-key',
apiSecret: 'your-api-secret',
basePath: SPOT_REST_API_TESTNET_URL,
};
const client = new Spot({ configurationRestAPI });
If basePath
is not provided, it defaults to https://api.binance.com
.
Websocket APIs
The WebSocket API provides request-response communication for market data and trading actions. Use the websocket-api
module to interact with these endpoints.
import { Spot, SpotWebsocketAPI } from '@binance/spot';
const configurationWebsocketAPI = {
apiKey: 'your-api-key',
apiSecret: 'your-api-secret',
};
const client = new Spot({ configurationWebsocketAPI });
client.websocketAPI
.connect()
.then((connection: SpotWebsocketAPI.WebsocketAPIConnection) =>
connection.exchangeInfo({ symbol: 'BNBUSDT' })
)
.then((res: SpotWebsocketAPI.ApiResponse<SpotWebsocketAPI.ExchangeInfoResponse>) =>
console.log(res.data)
)
.catch((err) => console.error(err));
More examples are available in the examples/websocket-api
folder.

mode uses a pool of WebSocket connections. See the Connection Mode example for detailed usage.
Key Pair Based Authentication
Use RSA or ED25519 private keys for WebSocket API authentication. See the Key Pair Authentication example for detailed usage.
Certificate Pinning
To enhance security, you can use certificate pinning with the agent
option in the configuration. This ensures the client only communicates with servers using specific certificates. See the Certificate Pinning example for detailed usage.
Time Unit
Specify the time unit for WebSocket API timestamps (e.g., milliseconds or microseconds). See the Time Unit example for detailed usage.
Subscribe to User Data Streams
You can consume the user data stream, which sends account-level events such as account and order updates. First do a logon
to the websocket connection via WebSocket API; then:
import { Spot, SpotWebsocketAPI } from '@binance/spot';
const configurationWebsocketAPI = {
apiKey: 'your-api-key',
apiSecret: 'your-api-secret',
};
const client = new Spot({ configurationWebsocketAPI });
client.websocketAPI
.connect()
.then((connection) => connection.sessionLogon())
.then(() => connection.userDataStreamSubscribe())
.then(({ response, stream }) => {
stream.on('message', (data) => {
switch (data.e) {
case 'balanceUpdate':
console.log('balance update stream', data);
break;
case 'outboundAccountPosition':
console.log('outbound account position stream', data);
break;
// …handle other variants…
default:
console.log('unknown stream', data);
break;
}
});
})
.catch((err) => console.error(err));
Testnet
For testing purposes, the Websocket API also supports a testnet environment. Update the wsURL
in your configuration:
import { Spot, SpotWebsocketAPI, SPOT_WS_API_TESTNET_URL } from '@binance/spot';
const configurationWebsocketAPI = {
apiKey: 'your-api-key',
apiSecret: 'your-api-secret',
wsURL: SPOT_WS_API_TESTNET_URL,
};
const client = new Spot({ configurationWebsocketAPI });
If wsURL
is not provided, it defaults to wss://ws-api.binance.com:443/ws-api/v3
.
Websocket Streams
WebSocket Streams provide real-time data feeds for market trades, candlesticks, and more. Use the websocket-streams module to subscribe to these streams.
import { Spot, SpotWebsocketStreams, SPOT_WS_STREAMS_PROD_URL } from '@binance/spot';
const configurationWebsocketStreams = {
wsURL: SPOT_WS_STREAMS_PROD_URL,
};
const client = new Spot({ configurationWebsocketStreams });
client.websocketStreams
.connect()
.then((connection: SpotWebsocketStreams.WebsocketStreamsConnection) => {
const stream = connection.aggTrade({ symbol: 'BNBUSDT' });
stream.on('message', (data: SpotWebsocketStreams.AggTradeResponse) => console.info(data));
})
.catch((err) => console.error(err));
More examples are available in the examples/websocket-streams
folder.
Configuration Options
The WebSocket Streams API supports the following advanced configuration options:
reconnectDelay
: Specify the delay between reconnection attempts (default: 5000 ms).compression
: Enable or disable compression for WebSocket messages (default: true).agent
: Customize the WebSocket agent for advanced configurations.mode
: Choose betweensingle
andpool
connection modes.single
: A single WebSocket connection.pool
: A pool of WebSocket connections.
poolSize
: Define the number of WebSocket connections in pool mode.timeUnit
: Specify the time unit for timestamps (e.g., milliseconds or microseconds).
Reconnect Delay
Specify the delay in milliseconds between WebSocket reconnection attempts for streams. See the Reconnect Delay example for detailed usage.
Compression
Enable or disable compression for WebSocket Streams messages. See the Compression example for detailed usage.
WebSocket Agent
Customize the agent for advanced configurations. See the WebSocket Agent example for detailed usage.
Connection Mode
Choose between single
and pool
connection modes for WebSocket Streams. The single
mode uses a single WebSocket connection, while the pool
mode uses a pool of WebSocket connections. See the Connection Mode example for detailed usage.
Certificate Pinning
To enhance security, you can use certificate pinning with the agent
option in the configuration. This ensures the client only communicates with servers using specific certificates. See the Certificate Pinning example for detailed usage.
Time Unit
Specify the time unit for WebSocket Streams timestamps (e.g., milliseconds or microseconds). See the Time Unit example for detailed usage.
Unsubscribing from Streams
You can unsubscribe from specific WebSocket streams using the unsubscribe
method. This is useful for managing active subscriptions without closing the connection.
import { Spot, SpotWebsocketStreams, SPOT_WS_STREAMS_PROD_URL } from '@binance/spot';
const configurationWebsocketStreams = {
wsURL: SPOT_WS_STREAMS_PROD_URL,
};
const client = new Spot({ configurationWebsocketStreams });
client.websocketStreams
.connect()
.then((connection: SpotWebsocketStreams.WebsocketStreamsConnection) => {
const stream = connection.aggTrade({ symbol: 'BNBUSDT' });
stream.on('message', (data: SpotWebsocketStreams.AggTradeResponse) => console.info(data));
setTimeout(() => {
stream.unsubscribe();
console.log('Unsubscribed from BNBUSDT trade stream');
}, 10000);
})
.catch((err) => console.error(err));
Testnet
Websocket Streams also support a testnet environment for development and testing. Update the wsURL
in your configuration:
import { Spot, SpotWebsocketStreams, SPOT_WS_STREAMS_TESTNET_URL } from '@binance/spot';
const configurationWebsocketStreams = {
wsURL: SPOT_WS_STREAMS_TESTNET_URL,
};
const client = new Spot({ configurationWebsocketStreams });
If wsURL
is not provided, it defaults to wss://stream.binance.com:9443
.
Automatic Connection Renewal
The WebSocket connection is automatically renewed for both WebSocket API and WebSocket Streams connections, before the 24 hours expiration of the API key. This ensures continuous connectivity.
Testing
To run the tests:
npm install
npm run test
The tests cover: - REST API endpoints - WebSocket API and Streams - Error handling and edge cases
