Overview

This node integrates with the Binance API to retrieve statistics related to futures trading. Specifically, for the "Future" resource and the "Statistics" operation, it fetches statistical data about a selected futures symbol (such as trading volume, price changes, or other relevant metrics). This node is useful for traders, analysts, or automated workflows that need up-to-date futures market data from Binance to make informed decisions or trigger further actions.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically fetching futures statistics for a specific symbol to monitor market conditions.
  • Using the retrieved statistics to trigger alerts or execute trades based on predefined criteria.
  • Aggregating futures market data for reporting or dashboard visualization.

Properties

Name Meaning
Symbol Name or ID Select a futures trading symbol from a list or specify its ID via an expression. The symbol represents the futures contract for which statistics will be retrieved.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the futures statistics for the specified symbol. The exact structure depends on the Binance API response but typically includes fields such as price change, volume, open interest, and other relevant metrics for the futures contract.

If the node supports binary data output, it would generally relate to any raw data or files returned by the API, but this is not indicated in the provided code snippet.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Binance API.
  • The node depends on internal methods and properties defined in separate modules (./methods, ./actions/binance.properties, and ./actions/binance.execute), which handle loading options, defining properties, and executing the API calls respectively.
  • Proper configuration of the Binance API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials can cause authentication failures.
    • Specifying an incorrect or unsupported symbol may result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the Binance API.

  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has the required permissions.
    • Symbol not found or invalid symbol errors: Ensure the symbol is valid and available on Binance futures markets; use the load options feature to select from supported symbols.
    • Rate limit exceeded: Binance enforces API rate limits; if hit, wait before retrying or reduce request frequency.
