Binance API Postman

Postman is an API Collaboration Platform.

Binance now offers several Postman Collections for quick and easy usage of our RESTful APIs.
We also provide a Postman environment (JSON configuration file), which can be conveniently imported for use with your own API and secret keys.

How to import Collections

• Download the Collections.
• Import the Collections into the Postman app.

How to import the environment

• Download the environment JSON file.

• Open the Postman app.

• Click the Manage Environments button (gear icon). On Postman for Mac, for example, the button is at the top right of the Postman console:

  

• On the Manage Environments pop-up page, click Import. Select the environment file you downloaded, then click Add.

  

• Set your API key and secret key. Please remember to also set the Current Value column (see screenshot); otherwise, Postman will upload into your personal Postman account. (The Timestamp, Signature, Initial Value fields can be left empty. Postman will fill in Initial Value with what you provide in Current Value.)

  

• Select your newly-added environment from the environment dropdown menu. On Mac, this is at top right, to the left of the Manage Environments gear icon.

Postman safety practices

We suggest that users develop their own applications to work with the Binance Spot API; however, with Postman you can quickly get a feel for each of the API endpoints.

For your safety, please follow these Postman best practices:

• Don't use Collections obtained from an unknown source.
• Review the environment JSON file before use.
• Don't use any code that you don't understand.
• Make sure that the withdrawal permission is not enabled for your API keys.
• When you're finished trying out the API, delete your API keys.
