Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when a Go application needs a client-side interface to Binance APIs rather than a standalone exchange interface.
Who it is for
- Go developers adding Binance API access to an application.
- Teams building trading or market-data software that needs Binance REST or WebSocket interfaces.
Documented uses
- Retrieve ticker prices, order-book depth, candlesticks or aggregate trades from a Go application.
- Create, query, list or cancel orders through SDK service objects.
- Initialize REST clients for Binance API services, including documented futures and delivery client constructors.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and identifies the project as MIT-licensed. The README recommends Go 1.8 or later.
- The SDK requires Go development; it is not a standalone trading application.
- REST setup examples use Binance API and secret keys.
- The README lists REST and WebSocket API coverage and points to GoDoc and Binance API documentation for details.
- The README provides separate package instructions for v2 and the v1 API branch.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up a Go Binance REST client
Install the SDK and initialize a REST client for Binance API services.
Before you start
- Go 1.8 or later is recommended.
- Binance API key and secret key for the documented REST client setup.
- Read the Binance API documentation before continuing.
Steps
Install the v2 package with the command below.
go get github.com/adshao/go-binance/v2Import
github.com/adshao/go-binance/v2in the Go application.Initialize a client with
binance.NewClient(apiKey, secretKey).
Expected outcome
A Go application has an initialized SDK client; endpoint-specific service construction and API calls are the next documented stage.
Guide limitations
- The guide covers client setup, not a complete API request or application deployment.
- The README directs developers to GoDoc and version-specific code for full references and usage.
