Fetching Binance Futures Open Positions via Binance API

The Binance API is a powerful tool that provides access to various financial markets, including cryptocurrency trading platforms like Binance. One of its most useful features is the ability to fetch open positions for specific assets, such as futures contracts.

In this article, we will explore how to use the Binance API to retrieve all open positions on Binance Futures, not only for your account data, but also for other users or accounts on the platform.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• A Binance account with a valid API key and secret.

• The Binance API enabled in your account settings (Settings > API).

• Python installed on your machine (preferably the latest version).

Required Libraries

To interact with the Binance API using Python, you will need to install the following libraries:

• requests' for making HTTP requests

• pandas' for data manipulation and analysis

You can install these libraries using pip:

pip install requests pandas

Fetching Binance Futures Open Positions

To fetch all open positions on Binance Futures, you will need to make a GET request to the following API endpoint:

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual Binance API key and YOUR_SECRET with your secret (remember to keep it safe!).

Here is an example Python script that demonstrates how to use the Binance API to fetch open positions from Binance Futures:

import requests





Set up API credentials and endpoint URL
api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
api_secret = 'YOUR_SECRET'
base_url = '

Set headers with API keys
headers = {
'X-MBX-APIKEY': api_key,
'X-MBX-SIGN': api_secret
}

Set API endpoint and parameters
endpoint = '/futures/openPositions'
params = {}

Make a GET request to the API endpoint
response = requests.get(f'{base_url}{endpoint}', headers=headers, params=params)

Check if the response was successful (200 OK)
if response.status_code == 200:

Parse the JSON response and print the open positions
data = response.json()
for position in data['positions']:
print(position['symbol'], 'Open Position:', position['side'])
else:
print('Error fetching open positions:', response.text)

Fetch open positions by symbol

To fetch open positions for a specific symbol, you can modify the endpoint URL and pass the symbol parameter in the request body. For example:

endpoint = '/futures/openPositions?symbol=ETHUSDT'
params = {}
response = requests.get(f'{base_url}{endpoint}', headers=headers, params=params)

...

Fetch open positions by account

To fetch open positions for your account or all accounts on Binance, you can modify the params dictionary to include an accountType parameter. For example:

params = {
'symbol': 'ETHUSDT',
'limit': 1000,
'sortOrder': 'asc'
}
response = requests.get(f'{base_url}{endpoint}', headers=headers, params=params)

Example Use Cases

• Account Position Monitoring: Find open positions for your Binance account and monitor market sentiment.

• Trading Strategy Analysis: Use open positions to analyze trading strategies, such as identifying profitable trades or optimizing risk management.

• Market Research: Find open positions to gain insights into market trends and identify potential opportunities.

Conclusion

Fetching open Binance Futures positions via the Binance API is a powerful way to access market data and monitor the size of your positions. By following the instructions in this article, you can use Python scripts to automate these tasks or integrate them with other financial systems.
