Getting the balance of a specific asset from binance futures
As a trader or investor on Binance Futures, you probably want to keep a close eye on your assets, especially when it comes to the futures market. However, searching through various API endpoints and documents can be overwhelming. In this article, we will guide you through the process of retrieving the balance of a specific asset, including USDT.
Required Information
Before we dive into the solution, make sure you have the following information:
- Your Binance account alias (e.g. xx)
- The name of the asset whose balance you want to retrieve (in this case, USDT)
- The API endpoint URL for retrieving asset information
Solution
To get the balance of a specific asset on Binance Futures, follow these steps:
1. Create an API ID or App ID and Secret
Create an API ID or App ID in the Binance Developer Dashboard if you haven’t already. This is required to authenticate your requests.
2. Configure the API Endpoint
You can find the available APIs for retrieving asset data in the [Binance API documentation]( For futures assets, you need to use the GET /api/v5/futures/assetBalance/{assetSymbol} endpoint.
3. Create a request
Create a request string like this:
Replace{assetSymbol}with the asset symbol of your choice (in this caseDOT’).
Example Code
Here is an example of how you can use the curl command to send a GET request:
curl -X GET \
\
-H 'Authorization: YOUR_API_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
4. Authenticate the request
Add the API token to the Authorization header:
curl -X GET \
\
-H 'Authorization: YOUR_API_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
Response
If the request is successful, you should receive a JSON response with the asset balance. The response is in the following format:
{
"asset": "DOT",
"balance": "0.00000000"
}
5. Process the response
You can parse the JSON response to extract the information you want.
Example code (in Python)
import requests
api_token = "YOUR_API_TOKEN"
symbol = "DOT"
url = f"
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_token}",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
if response.statuscode == 200:
data = response.json()
balance = data["asset"]
print(f"{balance}: ${data['balance']}")
else:
print("Failed to retrieve balance for content")
That’s it! You have successfully retrieved the balance of your specific USDT asset on Binance Futures.
Additional Tips
- Be sure to check the [Binance API Documentation]( for any changes or updates.
- Consider implementing error handling and logging in your application to ensure you can recover from unexpected errors.
- If you are using a programming language, consider adding authentication headers to your requests.
