Overview
This node integrates with the Binance API, specifically targeting futures trading under the "Future" resource and the "Exchange" operation. It allows users to interact with Binance's futures market data by selecting a symbol (trading pair) or specifying its ID. This is useful for automating tasks such as retrieving market information, monitoring price changes, or executing trades on Binance futures.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching the latest futures prices for a specific symbol.
- Automating trading strategies based on real-time futures data.
- Monitoring multiple futures symbols for arbitrage opportunities.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Symbol Name or ID | Choose a futures trading symbol from a dynamically loaded list or specify one using an expression. |
The property supports selecting from available futures symbols via a dynamic options loader method (getSymbols), ensuring up-to-date symbol lists.
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the response from the Binance API related to the selected futures symbol. The structure typically includes market details such as price, volume, and other relevant trading information for the chosen symbol.
If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent raw data like files or images, but this node focuses on JSON responses from the API.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Binance API key credential configured in n8n for authentication.
- Depends on the Binance API being accessible and responsive.
- Utilizes internal methods for loading symbol options and executing API calls.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Selecting a symbol that does not exist or is delisted may result in errors or empty responses.
- Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API communication.
Error Messages:
- Authentication errors typically indicate invalid API keys; verify and update credentials.
- "Symbol not found" errors suggest the selected symbol is incorrect or unavailable; use the dynamic selector or check symbol validity.
- Timeout or connection errors require checking network status and Binance API availability.
