Installation

``bash

`

RESTful APIs

`javascript
const { CMFutures } = require("@binance/futures-connector");

const apiKey = "";
const apiSecret = "";
const cmFuturesClient = new CMFutures(apiKey, apiSecret, {
baseURL: "https://dapi.binance.com",
});

cmFuturesClient
.newOrder("BNBUSD_PERP", "BUY", "LIMIT", {
timeInForce: "GTC",
quantity: 1,
price: 0.001,
})
.then((response) => console.log(response))
.catch(console.error);
`

Please find examples folder to see the examples for more endpoints.

RSA Key based Authentication

`javascript
const { UMFutures } = require("@binance/futures-connector");

const apiKey = "";
const apiSecret = ""; // has no effect when RSA private key is provided

// load private key
const privateKey = fs.readFileSync("/Users/john/ssl/private_key_encrypted.pem");
const privateKeyPassphrase = "password";

const umFuturesClient = new UMFutures(apiKey, apiSecret, {
privateKey,
privateKeyPassphrase, // only used for encrypted key
});

// Get account information
umFuturesClient
.getAccountInformation()
.then((response) => client.logger.log(response.data));
`

You can use the testnet by adjusting the base URL:

`javascript
// provide the testnet base url
const umFuturesClient = new UMFutures(apiKey, apiSecret, {
baseURL: "https://testnet.binancefuture.com",
});
`

$3

If baseURL is not provided, it defaults to fapi.binance.com.

It's recommended to pass in the baseURL parameter to the constructor, so that it can easily be replaced with the testnet baseURL for testing/debugging.

Optional parameters are encapsulated to a single object as the last function parameter.

`javascript
const { UMFutures } = require('@binance/futures-connector')

const apiKey = ''
const apiSecret = ''
const client = new Spot(apiKey, apiSecret)

umFuturesClient.getAccountInformation({ recvWindow: 2000 }).then(response => umFuturesClient.logger.log(response.data))

``

It's easy to set timeout in milliseconds in request. If the request take longer than timeout, the request will be aborted. If it's not set, there will be no timeout.

`javascript
const { UMFutures } = require("@binance/futures-connector");

const apiKey = "";
const apiSecret = "";
const umFuturesClient = new UMFutures(apiKey, apiSecret, { timeout: 1000 });

client
.getAccountInformation()
.then((response) => umFuturesClient.logger.log(response.data))
.catch((error) => umFuturesClient.logger.error(error.message));
`

The axios package is used as the http client in this library. A proxy settings is passed into axios directly, the details can be found at here:

`javascript
const { UMFutures } = require("@binance/futures-connector");

const apiKey = "";
const apiSecret = "";
const umFuturesClient = new UMFutures(apiKey, apiSecret, {
proxy: {
protocol: "https",
host: "127.0.0.1",
port: 9000,
auth: {
username: "proxy_user",
password: "password",
},
},
});
`

You may have a HTTP proxy, that can bring the problem that you need to make a HTTPS connection through the HTTP proxy. You can do that by build a HTTPS-over-HTTP tunnel by npm package tunnel, and then pass the turnnel agent to httpsAgent in axios.

`javascript
const tunnel = require("tunnel");

const agent = tunnel.httpsOverHttp({
proxy: {
host: "127.0.0.1",
port: 3128,
},
});

const umFuturesClient = new UMFutures(null, null, {
baseURL: "https://fapi.binance.com",
httpsAgent: agent,
});

umFuturesClient
.getAccountInformation()
.then((response) => umFuturesClient.logger.log(response.data))
.catch((error) => umFuturesClient.logger.error(error));
`

`javascript
const { UMFutures } = require("@binance/futures-connector");
const fs = require("fs");
const { Console } = require("console");

// make sure the logs/ folder is created beforehand
const output = fs.createWriteStream("./logs/stdout.log");
const errorOutput = fs.createWriteStream("./logs/stderr.log");

const logger = new Console({ stdout: output, stderr: errorOutput });
const umFuturesClient = new UMFutures("", "", { logger: logger });

umFuturesClient
.getExchangeInfo()
.then((response) => umFuturesClient.logger.log(response.data));
// check the output file
`

The default logger defined in the package is Node.js Console class. Its output is sent to process.stdout and process.stderr, same as the global console.

There are 2 types of error that may be returned from the API server and the user has to handle it properly:

- Client error

- This is thrown when server returns 4XX, it's an issue from client side.
- The following properties may be helpful to resolve the issue:
- Response header - Please refer to Response Metadata section for more details.
- HTTP status code
- Error code - Server's error code, e.g. -1102
- Error message - Server's error message, e.g. Unknown order sent.
- Request config - Configuration send to the server, which can include URL, request method and headers.

`
// client initialization is skipped
client.exchangeInfo({ symbol: 'invalidSymbol' })
.then(response => client.logger.log(response.data))
.catch(err => {
client.logger.error(err.response.headers) // full response header
client.logger.error(err.response.status) // HTTP status code 400
client.logger.error(err.response.data) // includes both error code and message
client.logger.error(err.response.config) // includes request's config
})

`

- Server error
- This is thrown when server returns 5XX, it's an issue from server side.

Websocket

The WebSocket URLs for the available futures environments are as follows:

- Testnet CM: wss://dstream.binancefuture.com
- Testnet UM: wss://stream.binancefuture.com
- Main CM: wss://dstream.binance.com
- Main UM: wss://fstream.binance.com

$3

You can connect to the WebSocket stream using the UMStream Module (for USD-M Futures). Here is an example:

`javascript
const { UMStream } = require("@binance/futures-connector");
const logger = new Console({ stdout: process.stdout, stderr: process.stderr });

// Define callbacks for different events
const callbacks = {
open: () => logger.debug("Connected with Websocket server"),
close: () => logger.debug("Disconnected with Websocket server"),
message: (data) => logger.info(data),
};

// Create a new WebSocket client with the wsURL (Websocket URL) defined
const umWebsocketStreamClient = new UMStream({
logger,
callbacks,
wsURL: "wss://fstream.binance.com",
});

// Subscribe to the allMarketMiniTickersStream stream
umWebsocketStreamClient.allMarketMiniTickersStream("bnbusdt_perp");

// Close the WebSocket stream after 6 seconds
setTimeout(() => umWebsocketStreamClient.disconnect(), 6000);
`

$3

You can unsubscribe from a WebSocket stream as follows:

`javascript
umWebsocketStreamClient.unsubscribe("bnbusdt_perp@kline_1m");
