Ethereum: Get Futures Asset Balance Binance

How to Get the Balance of Specific Assets on Binance Futures

As a trader or investor on Binance Futures, you probably want to closely monitor your asset balances, especially when it comes to futures markets. However, searching through the various API endpoints and documentation can be overwhelming. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of getting the balance of specific assets, including USDT.

The information required

Before we dive into the solution, make sure you have the following information:

Your Binance account alias (e.g. xx)

The name of the asset you want to get the balance for (in this case, USDT)

The API endpoint URL to retrieve the asset data

The solution

To get the balance of a specific asset on Binance Futures, follow these steps:

1. Create an API token or app ID and secret

If you haven’t already done so, create an API token or app ID on Binance’s developer dashboard. This is required to authenticate your requests.

2. Set up the API endpoint

For the available APIs to retrieve asset data, see the [Binance API documentation]( For futures assets, you need to use the GET /api/v5/futures/assetBalance/{assetSymbol} endpoint.

3. Create the request

Using your account alias and asset symbol (USDT), create a request string like this:

Replace{assetSymbol}with your desired asset symbol (in this caseDOT).


Example Code

Here is an example of how you can use thecurlcommand to send a GET request:


curl -X GET \
 \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'



4. Authenticate the request

Add your API token to the Authorization` header:

curl -X GET \ \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

The Response

If the request is successful, you should receive: a JSON response with the asset balance. The response will be in the following format:


{
"asset": "DOT",
"balance": "0.00000000"
}

5. Process Response

You can parse the JSON response to extract the information you want.

Example code (in Python)


Import requests
api_token = "YOUR_API_TOKEN"
symbol = "DOT"
url = f"
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_token}",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
data = response.json()
balance = data["asset"]
print(f"{balance}: ${data['balance']}")
else:
print("Failed to get asset balance")
