Error Handling with Binance API – Aggregate Trades Request
When using the Binance API to get aggregated trades data, there are several optional parameters that can be used to control the request. In this article, we will explore the get_aggregate_trades
method and its combination of optional parameters.
The Problem:
client.get_aggregate_trades(symbol = 'EURBUSD', startTime = 165605516493)
This code snippet attempts to retrieve aggregated trades data starting from a specific timestamp. However, the startTime
parameter appears to be misplaced for this request. Binance recommends specifying the symbol
, limit
, and timestamp
parameters in the correct order.
The Solution:
To fix the problem, you must pass the symbol
, limit
, timestamp
, and fields
parameters in that order. Here is an updated code snippet:
client.get_aggregate_trades({
symbol: 'EURBUSD',
limit: 1000,
timestamp: 165605516493, // Adjust to a valid timestamp
fields: ['aggTradeCount', 'aggTradeValue']
})
Note that the fields
parameter is a string array, which specifies the columns of data to be retrieved.
Additional Tips:
- Make sure to replace
client
with your actual Binance client instance.
- Adjust the
limit
value based on your trading volume requirements. A higher limit may provide more aggregate data, but may also increase latency.
- If you need to get transactions for a specific time period (e.g. only for a certain hour), consider using the
timestamp
parameter with an adjusted date format (e.g. ISO 8601).
- Always check the Binance API documentation for the latest information on the available parameters, as they may change over time.
If you follow these guidelines and modify the get_aggregate_trades
method accordingly, you should be able to successfully retrieve aggregated transaction data from the Binance API.
