Using the Binance API to get symbol prices with multiple symbols
Binance offers an extensive API that provides developers with a wide range of tools to interact with the platform. One of the most common use cases is getting symbol prices, which can be useful for various purposes such as automated trading bots or data analytics.
In this article, we will explore how to get the price tickers of multiple symbols using the Binance API and provide examples of how to do this with a delimiter.
Price Ticker Endpoint Symbol
The symbolPriceTicker endpoint is used to get multiple symbol prices in JSON format. Here is an example of how you can use this endpoint:
In the above URL, ETHUSDT represents the ticker for the Ethereum symbol and 1m means to retrieve 1-minute data. 100 is the number of symbols to retrieve.
Using multiple symbols with a separator
The Binance API does not support retrieving multiple symbols with a separator such as commas or semicolons in the query string. However, you can achieve this by using the $ symbol to separate each symbol’s price ticker.
Here are some examples:
Using Commas
In the URL above, ETPUSDT represents another Ethereum symbol with a price ticker separated by a comma.
Using Semicolons
In the URL above, ETPUSDT is retrieved using semicolons instead of commas.
Using a Custom Separator
If you want to use a custom separator for your API request, you can do so by replacing the $ symbol with the separator you want. Example:
Note that this approach requires careful planning and testing to avoid errors.
Conclusion
Retrieving the price tickers of multiple symbols using the Binance API can be achieved using a separator. Understanding how to use the symbolPriceTicker endpoint with different separators will help you efficiently manage your API requests and improve your overall API workflow.
