Error Handling with Binance API: Aggregated Trades Request

When using the Binance API to retrieve 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 optional parameter combinations.

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 seems inappropriate for this request. Binance recommends that you specify the “symbol”, “limit”, and “timestamp” parameters in the correct order.

Solution:

To fix the issue, pass the “symbol”, “limit”, “timestamp”, and “fields” parameters in this order. Here is the 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 that specifies the columns of data to retrieve.

Additional Tips:

• Remember to replace “client” with your actual Binance client instance.

• Adjust the “limit” value according to your trading volume requirements. A higher limit can provide more aggregated data, but it can also increase latency.

• If you need to retrieve trades for a specific time period (e.g. only during a specific hour), consider using the timestamp parameter with a modified date format (e.g. ISO 8601).

• Always check the Binance API documentation for the latest information on available parameters, as they may change over time.

By following these instructions and modifying the get_aggregate_trades method accordingly, you should be able to successfully retrieve aggregated trade data from the Binance API.
