Data collection before 2020-05-14 suffered some issues (missing data, latency spikes) during market volatility periods. It has been circumvent by switching to Tokyo DC and using multiple WS connections for real-time market data collection.

API Access and data format

Historical data format is the same as provided by real-time Binance USDT 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.

Python

# pip install tardis-client
import asyncio
from tardis_client import TardisClient, Channel
tardis_client = TardisClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

async def replay():
  # replay method returns Async Generator
  messages = tardis_client.replay(
    exchange="binance-futures",
    from_date="2020-02-01",
    to_date="2020-02-02",
    filters=[Channel(name="depth", symbols=["btcusdt"])]
  )

  # messages as provided by Binance USDT Futures real-time stream
  async for local_timestamp, message in messages:
    print(message)


asyncio.run(replay())

See Python client docs.

Node.js

// npm install tardis-dev
const { replay } = require('tardis-dev');

async function run() {
  try {
    const messages = replay({
      exchange: 'binance-futures',
      from: '2020-02-01',

      filters: [{ channel: 'depth', symbols: ['btcusdt'] }],
      apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
    });

    // messages as provided by Binance USDT Futures real-time stream
    for await (const { localTimestamp, message } of messages) {
      console.log(localTimestamp, message);
    }
  } catch (e) {
    console.error(e);

Captured real-time channels

Binance API Documentation

See Binance USDT Futures WebSocket API docs providing documentation for each captured channel's format

Click any channel below to see HTTP API response with historical data recorded for it.

• trade
• aggTrade
• ticker
• bookTicker
• forceOrder - available since 2019-12-05
• markPrice Recorded with @1s speed since 2020-02-13 (new API feature).
• depth

  Binance USDT Futures depth channel has been recorded with the fastest update speed API allowed at the time. It means until 2020-01-07 it was depth@100ms - book updates pushed every 100ms and after that date it was depth@0ms - book updates pushed real-time (new API feature).

• depthSnapshot - generated channel with full order book snapshots Binance USDT 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 2020-05-14

  Since Binance USDT 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.
