Web Socket Streams for Binance (2024-06-11)

General WSS information

• The base endpoint is: wss://stream.binance.com:9443 or wss://stream.binance.com:443
• Streams can be accessed either in a single raw stream or in a combined stream
• Raw streams are accessed at /ws/<streamName>
• Combined streams are accessed at /stream?streams=<streamName1>/<streamName2>/<streamName3>
• Combined stream events are wrapped as follows: {"stream":"<streamName>","data":<rawPayload>}
• All symbols for streams are lowercase
• A single connection to stream.binance.com is only valid for 24 hours; expect to be disconnected at the 24 hour mark
• Websocket server will send a ping frame every 3 minutes.
  • If the websocket server does not receive a pong frame back from the connection within a 10 minute period, the connection will be disconnected.
  • When you receive a ping, you must send a pong with a copy of ping's payload as soon as possible.
  • Unsolicited pong frames are allowed, but will not prevent disconnection. It is recommended that the payload for these pong frames are empty.
• The base endpoint wss://data-stream.binance.vision can be subscribed to receive only market data messages.
  User data stream is NOT available from this URL.

Websocket Limits

• WebSocket connections have a limit of 5 incoming messages per second. A message is considered:
  • A PING frame
  • A PONG frame
  • A JSON controlled message (e.g. subscribe, unsubscribe)
• A connection that goes beyond the limit will be disconnected; IPs that are repeatedly disconnected may be banned.
• A single connection can listen to a maximum of 1024 streams.
• There is a limit of 300 connections per attempt every 5 minutes per IP.

Live Subscribing/Unsubscribing to streams

• The following data can be sent through the websocket instance in order to subscribe/unsubscribe from streams. Examples can be seen below.
• The id is used as an identifier to uniquely identify the messages going back and forth. The following formats are accepted:
  • 64-bit signed integer
  • alphanumeric strings; max length 36
  • null
• In the response, if the result received is null this means the request sent was a success for non-query requests (e.g. Subscribing/Unsubscribing).

Subscribe to a stream

• Request

  {
    "method": "SUBSCRIBE",
    "params": [
      "btcusdt@aggTrade",
      "btcusdt@depth"

How to manage a local order book correctly

1. Open a stream to wss://stream.binance.com:9443/ws/bnbbtc@depth.
2. Buffer the events you receive from the stream.
3. Get a depth snapshot from https://api.binance.com/api/v3/depth?symbol=BNBBTC&limit=1000 .
4. Drop any event where u is <= lastUpdateId in the snapshot.
5. The first processed event should have U <= lastUpdateId+1 AND u >= lastUpdateId+1.
6. While listening to the stream, each new event's U should be equal to the previous event's u+1.
7. The data in each event is the absolute quantity for a price level.
8. If the quantity is 0, remove the price level.
9. Receiving an event that removes a price level that is not in your local order book can happen and is normal.

Note: Due to depth snapshots having a limit on the number of price levels, a price level outside of the initial snapshot that doesn't have a quantity change won't have an update in the Diff. Depth Stream. Consequently, those price levels will not be visible in the local order book even when applying all updates from the Diff. Depth Stream correctly and cause the local order book to have some slight differences with the real order book. However, for most use cases the depth limit of 5000 is enough to understand the market and trade effectively.
