python-binance
Popular unofficial Python wrapper for the Binance API, with spot, futures and WebSocket support.
Huge community and many tutorials; remember it is unofficial and Binance changes its API often.
Who it is for
Beginners following one of the many tutorials that use it to connect to Binance.
Strengths
- One of the most starred Binance libraries on GitHub, so examples are easy to find.
- Sync and async clients, WebSocket streams.
- MIT license.
Good to know
- Unofficial: not maintained by Binance. The official alternative is binance-connector-python.
- Binance-only; CCXT is more portable across exchanges.
