binance-connector
This is a deprecated lightweight library that works as a connector to Binance public API.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, with conditions. The package is actively maintained and has low install friction, but it is explicitly deprecated in favor of Binance's newer Python Connectors. Install it if you are already using it or building a simple spot-trading integration; avoid it for new projects unless you have a specific reason to prefer this over the recommended alternative. No known security vulnerabilities as of the latest check.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.8 or later; API key and secret needed for authenticated user data endpoints.
- Low install friction with three common runtime dependencies.
- Actively maintained as of the latest release, though marked as deprecated in favor of newer Binance Python Connectors.

What it is and what it does
This is a lightweight HTTP and WebSocket client for Binance's public APIs, enabling Python developers to fetch market data, manage orders, and stream real-time price and trade updates. It wraps Binance's REST endpoints and WebSocket streams, handling authentication (HMAC, RSA, ED25519), request signing, and response parsing. The library supports customizable base URLs, timeouts, proxies, and optional response metadata display.
The package is marked as deprecated; Binance recommends migrating to their newer auto-generated SDKs for Spot, Futures, Options, and other APIs. However, it remains actively maintained and suitable for applications already using it or for simple spot-trading integrations. It depends on requests for HTTP, websocket-client for streaming, and pycryptodome for cryptographic operations.
Use it for
- Fetch real-time market data like klines, ticker prices, and order book snapshots from Binance.
- Place, cancel, and manage spot trading orders programmatically with API key authentication.
- Stream live trade and price updates via WebSocket for algorithmic trading or monitoring dashboards.
- Test trading logic against Binance's testnet before deploying to production.
- Monitor account balances and order history with authenticated API calls.
