showPermissionSets

BOOLEAN

No

Controls whether the content of the `permissionSets` field is populated or not. Defaults to `true`

symbolStatus

ENUM

No

Filters for symbols that have this `tradingStatus`.  
Valid values: `TRADING`, `HALT`, `BREAK`  
Cannot be used in combination with `symbols` or `symbol`.

**Notes:**

-   If the value provided to `symbol` or `symbols` do not exist, the endpoint will throw an error saying the symbol is invalid.
-   All parameters are optional.
-   `permissions` can support single or multiple values (e.g. `SPOT`, `["MARGIN","LEVERAGED"]`). This cannot be used in combination with `symbol` or `symbols`.
-   If `permissions` parameter not provided, all symbols that have either `SPOT`, `MARGIN`, or `LEVERAGED` permission will be exposed.
    -   To display symbols with any permission you need to specify them explicitly in `permissions`: (e.g. `["SPOT","MARGIN",...]`.). See [Account and Symbol Permissions](https://developers.binance.com/docs/binance-spot-api-docs/testnet/enums) for the full list.

**Examples of Symbol Permissions Interpretation from the Response:**

-   `[["A","B"]]` means you may place an order if your account has either permission "A" **or** permission "B".
-   `[["A"],["B"]]` means you can place an order if your account has permission "A" **and** permission "B".
-   `[["A"],["B","C"]]` means you can place an order if your account has permission "A" **and** permission "B" or permission "C". (Inclusive or is applied here, not exclusive or, so your account may have both permission "B" and permission "C".)
