Binance API
World's largest crypto exchange REST and WebSocket API for spot, futures, and options trading with market data
Solid choice for most workflows
You need real-time market data and automated trading for spot, futures, and options across 300+ crypto pairs without building exchange infrastructure.
Sub-second WebSocket latency on high volume, robust rate limits (weight-based, separate for spot/futures), occasional signature/timestamp errors on cold starts.
You want to build high-frequency trading bots that react instantly to price action and order book changes.
Reliable 1000+ msg/sec throughput, but manage reconnects on network blips; weight tracking prevents 429 bans.
Regulatory Restrictions
US residents blocked from main API; use Binance.US API instead. IP whitelisting mandatory for trading keys.
Rate Limit Weight System
Each endpoint consumes 'weight' (not just requests); exceed 1200 weight/minute gets IP ban. Track via usedWeight() and separate spot/futures quotas.
Signature & Timestamp Precision
Invalid HMAC signatures or timestamps >1s off server time reject all signed requests. Sync time via /api/v3/time and use exact query param order.
