Ethereum API Call List: Retrieving Order Data

==

As a beginner, it’s great that you’re eager to start exploring the Ethereum API. Here’s an article on how to retrieve order data using Python and the Binance API.

Prerequisites

Before entering the code, make sure you have:

• A Binance API account (create one at [binance.com/api](

• The python-binance library installed (pip install python-binance)

• Basic knowledge of Python and API calls

Retrieving Order Data Using Python

We’ll use the binance Futures class from the python-binance library to retrieve order data. Here is the code:

json import
from datetime date import









Set your Binance API credentials
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
api_secret = "YOUR_API_SECRET"

Set your API endpoint and base URL
base_url = " api/v3/futures"
endpoint = "/open"

Set your order symbol (e.g. ETH/USDT)
symbol = "ETH/USDT"
def get_open_orders(api_key, api_secret):

Create a Binance API object with your credentials
client = binance.Client(api_key=api_key, api_secret=api_secret)

Get open orders for the specified symbol
response = client.futures.getOpenOrders(endpoint = endpoint, symbol = symbol)
data = json.loads(response.body)


    
Return only the data necessary for the order (symbol, price, origin, page)

    return [data["contract"]["symbol"], data["open"], data["origQty"], data["site"]]



Retrieve and print order data for ETH/USDT

orders = get_open_orders(api_key, api_secret)

for symbol, price, originality, _ in orders:

    print(f"Symbol: {symbol}, Price: {price:.4f}, OrigQty: {origQty}")

Explanation

• We create a Binance API object with your credentials.

• We set the endpoint and base URL for our API request (eg api/v3/futures).

• We specify the order symbol (‘ETH/USDT’ in this example).

• We retrieve the open orders using the getOpenOrders method.

• We parse the JSON response data and return only the data needed for the order (symbol, price, origin, website).

Example Use Cases

• Tracking order activity for a specific pair

• Analyzing market trends by retrieving historical order data

• Creating trading bots or automations using open orders as triggers

Don’t forget to replace YOUR_API_KEY and YOUR_API_SECRET with your own credentials. the real Binance API. Also, be aware of the Binance API rate limits and adjust your code accordingly.

I hope this helps you get started retrieving order data from the Ethereum API!
