Here is an article on how to install the Ethereum connector using pipx and add the path:
Installing the Binance Connector Library with pipx
To install the Binance Connector library, you will need to use the Python package manager pipx. Here is how to do it:
- First, update your package list:
sudo apt update
- Then install pipx:
sudo apt install python3-pipx
- Now you can install the Binance Connector library using pipx:
pipx install binance-connector-python
`
Adding the path to the connector
After installing the connector library, you need to add the path to the executable “binance-connector” so that it knows where to find the data.
- You can do this by adding the directory ~/.local/bin or ~/.config/python3/bin to your system PATH environment variable.
- Here are examples of how you can set these directories on Debian:
sudo nano /etc/PATH
At the end of the file, add the following lines:
~/.local/bin: $PATH:$HOME/bin
~/.config/python3/bin: $PATH:$HOME/bin
Save and exit the editor.
Verify the installation
Once you have added the path, you can verify that the connector library is installed by running:
python3 -c "from binance Connector import client; print(Client.connect())"
This should print your Binance API credentials. If everything went well, you should see a message indicating that the library was successfully installed.
Example Use Case
Here is an example of how to use the connector to query cryptocurrency prices:
import binance_connector
Set your Binance API credentialsclient = Client.connect('YOUR_API_KEY', 'YOUR_API_SECRET')
symbol = 'BTCUSDT'
open_price = 1.0
close_price = 2.5
Get the latest price of the symboldata = client.get_historical_price(symbol=symbol,
open_price=open_price,
close_price=close_price)
Print the dataprint(data)
Note: Replace “YOUR_API_KEY” and “YOUR_API_SECRET” with your actual Binance API credentials.
