Binance REST API python implementation
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive MIT license. It covers the full Binance API surface with both sync and async support, making it the standard choice for Python-based Binance automation. Install it if you need to programmatically trade or fetch data from Binance.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a Binance account and API key with appropriate permissions; testnet mode available via testnet=True parameter.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- Active maintenance with a recent release (67 days ago) and 7197 GitHub stars.

What it is and what it does
python-binance is an unofficial client library that wraps Binance's REST API v3, letting you automate trading, fetch market data, and manage account operations programmatically. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous workflows, with built-in handling for authentication (including RSA and EDDSA keys), timestamp generation, and response exceptions. The library covers spot trading, futures, margin trading, and portfolio margin, plus websocket streams for real-time price and order updates with automatic reconnection and multiplexing.
The package includes convenience features like historical kline fetching, deposit/withdrawal management, depth cache management, and proxy support. It provides threaded managers for websocket connections and depth caching, reducing boilerplate for common patterns. Version 1.0.20 or higher is recommended due to endpoint deprecations in earlier releases.
Use it for
- Automate spot or futures trading strategies by placing orders, checking balances, and monitoring fills programmatically.
- Fetch historical candlestick (kline) data for backtesting or technical analysis across any date range.
- Subscribe to real-time market depth and price streams via websockets for live trading dashboards or alerts.
- Manage deposits and withdrawals, query transaction history, and handle account operations without the web UI.
- Build trading bots using async/await for concurrent order management and low-latency websocket CRUD operations.
