Ethereum: Using Binance API Results
I recently started calling the Binance API, specifically the “ticker/24hr” endpoint with a single parameter “symbol=BTCBUSD” which returns only one value. I’m curious as to how this might affect my Ethereum trading strategy.
To learn more about this, I decided to dig deeper and examine the Binance API documentation for other endpoints that could provide additional information or data on Bitcoin/US Dollar (BTC/BUSD) prices. Here’s what I found:
Binance Coin Price History
The Coinmarketcap endpoint provides a list of available Binance coins, their current price, and a historical price chart. It looks like an interesting resource for analyzing the past performance of different cryptocurrencies.
API Endpoints
The “ticker” endpoint allows me to get the 24-hour high, low, and open price of Bitcoin (BTC) against the US Dollar (USD). I also found a “futures” endpoint that provides information on Ethereum futures.
Historical Data
The “kline” endpoint allows me to get a historical price chart of Bitcoin (BTC) against the US Dollar (USD). This seems like a great resource for analyzing long-term cryptocurrency price trends and patterns.
Binance API Pricing
The single-parameter “ticker/24hr’ endpoint appears to have a simple, straightforward pricing model. The response contains only one value: the current price of Bitcoin (BTC) against the US dollar (USD).
{
"data": [
{
"id": "1",
"symbol": "BTCUSDT",
"timestamp": "1643723400",
"open": "3823.58",
"high": "4065.32",
"low": "3432.22",
"close": "3839.91"
}
]
}
Conclusion
While the ticker/24hr endpoint with one parameter provides a simple pricing model, I am still curious about how it might affect my Ethereum trading strategy. By exploring other Binance API endpoints, I hope to gain more insight into Bitcoin (BTC) price dynamics and make more informed decisions in the market.
