Overview
This node integrates with the Binance API to retrieve information about futures positions. Specifically, the "Future" resource with the "Position" operation allows users to fetch details about their current futures trading positions on Binance. This is useful for traders who want to monitor or automate workflows based on their open futures positions.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically checking open futures positions to trigger alerts or notifications.
- Integrating position data into dashboards or reports.
- Using position information as a condition in trading automation workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Symbol Name or ID | Select a futures trading symbol from a list or specify its ID via an expression. This identifies which futures contract's position to retrieve. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the futures position details for the specified symbol. This typically includes fields such as position size, entry price, unrealized profit/loss, leverage, and margin details. The output structure directly reflects the response from the Binance API for futures position queries.
No binary data output is involved.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Binance API.
- The node depends on the Binance API being accessible and the provided credentials having permission to access futures position data.
- No additional environment variables are required beyond the API authentication setup.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or expired API credentials will cause authentication errors.
- Specifying an incorrect or unsupported symbol may result in errors or empty responses.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
Error messages and resolutions:
- Authentication failed: Verify that the API key and secret are correctly configured and have futures trading permissions.
- Symbol not found: Ensure the symbol name or ID is valid and available on Binance futures.
- Rate limit exceeded: Binance enforces API rate limits; reduce request frequency or implement retries with backoff.
