Test connectivity​

{    "id": "922bcc6e-9de8-440d-9e84-7c80933a8d0d",    "method": "ping"}

Test connectivity to the WebSocket API.

Note: You can use regular WebSocket ping frames to test connectivity as well, WebSocket API will respond with pong frames as soon as possible. ping request along with time is a safe way to test request-response handling in your application.

Weight: 1

Parameters: NONE

Data Source: Memory

Response:

{    "id": "922bcc6e-9de8-440d-9e84-7c80933a8d0d",    "status": 200,    "result": {},    "rateLimits": [        {            "rateLimitType": "REQUEST_WEIGHT",            "interval": "MINUTE",            "intervalNum": 1,            "limit": 6000,            "count": 1        }    ]}

Check server time​

{    "id": "187d3cb2-942d-484c-8271-4e2141bbadb1",    "method": "time"}

Test connectivity to the WebSocket API and get the current server time.

Weight: 1

Parameters: NONE

Response:

{    "id": "187d3cb2-942d-484c-8271-4e2141bbadb1",    "status": 200,    "result": {        "serverTime": 1656400526260    },    "rateLimits": [        {            "rateLimitType": "REQUEST_WEIGHT",            "interval": "MINUTE",            "intervalNum": 1,            "limit": 6000,            "count": 1        }    ]}

Exchange information​

{    "id": "5494febb-d167-46a2-996d-70533eb4d976",    "method": "exchangeInfo",    "params": {        "symbols": ["BNBBTC"]    }}

Weight: 20

Parameters:

Name

Type

Mandatory

Description

symbol

STRING

NO

Describe a single symbol

symbols

ARRAY of STRING

Describe multiple symbols

permissions

ARRAY of STRING

Filter symbols by permissions

showPermissionSets

BOOLEAN

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

symbolStatus

ENUM

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

Notes:

• Only one of symbol, symbols, permissions parameters can be specified.

• Without parameters, exchangeInfo displays all symbols with ["SPOT, "MARGIN", "LEVERAGED"] permissions.

  • In order to list all active symbols on the exchange, you need to explicitly request all permissions.

• permissions accepts either a list of permissions, or a single permission name. E.g. "SPOT".

• Available Permissions

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".)
