Binance Perpetual Futures

Binance Perpetual Futures historical data for all it's instruments is available since 2019-11-17.

​

Downloadable CSV files

Historical CSV datasets for the first day of each month are available to download without API key. See downloadable CSV files documentation.

derivative_ticker open interest data is available since 2020-05-13 - date since we've started collecting that info via Binance Perpetual Futures REST API (open interest channel).

​

API Access and data format

Historical data format is the same as provided by real-time Binance Perpetual Futures WebSocket API with addition of local timestamps. If you'd like to work with normalized data format instead (same format for each exchange) see downloadable CSV files or official client libs that perform data normalization client-side.

# pip install tardis-client

Captured real-time channels

​

• ​trade​

• ​aggTrade​

• ​ticker​

• ​bookTicker​

• ​forceOrder - available since 2019-12-05

• ​markPrice Recorded with @1s speed since 2020-02-13 (new API feature).

• ​depth​

  Binance Perpetual Futures depth channel has been recorded with the fastest update speed API allowed at the time. It means until 2020-01-07 it was [email protected] - book updates pushed every 100ms and after that date it was [email protected] - book updates pushed real-time (new API feature).

• ​depthSnapshot - generated channel with full order book snapshots Binance Perpetual Futures real-time WebSocket API does not provide initial order book snapshots. To overcome this issue we fetch initial order book snapshots from REST API and store them together with the rest of the WebSocket messages - top 1000 levels. Such snapshot messages are marked with "stream":"<symbol>@depthSnapshot" and "generated":true fields.

  During data collection integrity of order book incremental updates is being validated using sequence numbers provided by real-time feed (pu and u fields) - in case of detecting missed message WebSocket connection is being restarted. We also validate if initial book snapshot fetched from REST API overlaps with received depth messages.

• ​openInterest - generated channel, available since 2029-05-14

  Since Binance Perpetual Futures does not offer currently real-time WebSocket open interest channel, we simulate it by fetching that info from REST API (https://binance-docs.github.io/apidocs/futures/en/#open-interest) every 30 seconds for each instrument. Such messages are marked with "stream":"<symbol>@openInterest" and "generated":true fields and data field has the same format as REST API response.

  ​

• ​recentTrades - generated channel, available since 2020-05-15 After establishing successful real-time WebSocket connection we fetch last 1000 trades from REST API (https://binance-docs.github.io/apidocs/futures/en/#recent-trades-list) and store that info together with other captured WebSocket messages. Such messages are marked with "stream":"<symbol>@recentTrades" and "generated":true fields and data field has the same format as REST API response.
