side: 'BUY',
type: 'MARKET',
quantity: 0.001, // Buy 0.001 BTC
);
print('โ
Market Buy Order Executed');
print(' Order ID: ${buyOrder['orderId']}');
print(' Status: ${buyOrder['status']}');
print(' Filled: ${buyOrder['executedQty']} BTC');
print(' Cost: \$${buyOrder['cummulativeQuoteQty']}');
}
๐งช Option 2: Testnet Trading (Real API, Test Money)
import 'package:babel_binance/babel_binance.dart';

Quick Start
import 'package:babel_binance/babel_binance.dart';
void main() async {
final binance = Binance(apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY', apiSecret: 'YOUR_SECRET');
// Get market data
final serverTime = await binance.spot.market.getServerTime();

}
Simulation Features
Why Use Simulation?
The simulation features allow you to:
- Test trading strategies without risking real money
- Measure latency and timing for your applications
- Develop and debug trading bots safely
- Learn the API without API rate limits or authentication concerns
Realistic Timing
Our simulation includes realistic processing delays based on actual Binance performance:
Operation | Typical Delay | Range |
---|---|---|
Market Orders | ~200ms | 50-500ms |
Limit Orders | ~200ms | 50-500ms |
Order Status | ~60ms | 20-100ms |
Convert Quote | ~400ms | 100-800ms |
Convert Execute | ~1.5s | 500ms-3s |
Convert Status | ~125ms | 50-200ms |
Simulated Trading
final binance = Binance();
// Simulate a market buy order
final marketOrder = await binance.spot.simulatedTrading.simulatePlaceOrder(
symbol: 'BTCUSDT',
side: 'BUY',
type: 'MARKET',
quantity: 0.001,
);
// Simulate a limit sell order
final limitOrder = await binance.spot.simulatedTrading.simulatePlaceOrder(
symbol: 'ETHUSDT',
side: 'SELL',
type: 'LIMIT',
quantity: 0.1,
price: 3200.0,
timeInForce: 'GTC',
);
// Check order status
final status = await binance.spot.simulatedTrading.simulateOrderStatus(
symbol: 'BTCUSDT',
orderId: int.parse(marketOrder['orderId'].toString()),
);
Simulated Convert
// Get conversion quote
final quote = await binance.simulatedConvert.simulateGetQuote(
fromAsset: 'BTC',
toAsset: 'USDT',
fromAmount: 0.001,
);
// Accept the quote
final conversion = await binance.simulatedConvert.simulateAcceptQuote(
quoteId: quote['quoteId'],
);
// Check conversion status
final status = await binance.simulatedConvert.simulateOrderStatus(
orderId: conversion['orderId'],
);
// Get conversion history
final history = await binance.simulatedConvert.simulateConversionHistory(
limit: 10,
);
Timing Analysis
final stopwatch = Stopwatch()..start();
await binance.spot.simulatedTrading.simulatePlaceOrder(
symbol: 'BTCUSDT',
side: 'BUY',
type: 'MARKET',
quantity: 0.001,
);
stopwatch.stop();
print('Order took ${stopwatch.elapsedMilliseconds}ms');
๐ Multiple API Endpoints & Failover
Babel Binance automatically provides multiple endpoint support with intelligent failover for enhanced reliability and uptime.
Supported Endpoint Types
API Type | Primary Endpoint | Failover Endpoints |
---|---|---|
Spot | api.binance.com |
api1.binance.com , api2.binance.com , api3.binance.com , api4.binance.com |
Futures USD-M | fapi.binance.com |
fapi1.binance.com , fapi2.binance.com , fapi3.binance.com |
Futures COIN-M | dapi.binance.com |
dapi1.binance.com , dapi2.binance.com |
How It Works
final binance = Binance();
// Automatically uses failover endpoints if primary fails
final ticker = await binance.spot.market.get24HrTicker('BTCUSDT');
// Check which endpoint is currently active
print('Active endpoint: ${binance.spot.market.currentEndpoint}');
// View all available endpoints
print('Available endpoints: ${binance.spot.market.availableEndpoints}');
Key Benefits
- ๐ Automatic Failover: Seamlessly switches to backup servers on network issues
- ๐ Multiple Geographic Regions: Access distributed Binance infrastructure
- ๐ Smart Recovery: Automatically returns to primary endpoint when available
- ๐ Enhanced Uptime: Significantly improved reliability for production applications
- ๐ก๏ธ Zero Configuration: Works out-of-the-box with no additional setup required
The failover system automatically detects connection issues and rotates through available endpoints until a successful connection is established. Once service is restored, it intelligently returns to the primary endpoint for optimal performance.
WebSocket Usage
final binance = Binance(apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY');
final websockets = Websockets();
// Create listen key for user data stream
final listenKeyData = await binance.spot.userDataStream.createListenKey();
final listenKey = listenKeyData['listenKey'];
// Connect to user data stream
final stream = websockets.connectToStream(listenKey);
stream.listen((message) {
print('Received: $message');
});
// Don't forget to close the listen key when done
await binance.spot.userDataStream.closeListenKey(listenKey);
Testing
To run the tests, including authenticated tests, set the BINANCE_API_KEY
environment variable:
# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:BINANCE_API_KEY="your_api_key"
dart test
# Linux/macOS
export BINANCE_API_KEY="your_api_key"
dart test
Without the environment variable, authenticated tests will be skipped.

๐ Production Tips
Error Handling
try {
final order = await binance.spot.simulatedTrading.simulatePlaceOrder(
symbol: 'BTCUSDT',
side: 'BUY',
type: 'MARKET',
quantity: 0.001,
);
print('Order successful: ${order['orderId']}');
} catch (e) {
print('Order failed: $e');
// Implement retry logic or fallback strategy
}
Rate Limiting
// Implement rate limiting for production use
class RateLimiter {
static const maxRequestsPerSecond = 10;
static DateTime lastRequest = DateTime.now();
static Future<void> throttle() async {
final now = DateTime.now();
final timeSinceLastRequest = now.difference(lastRequest).inMilliseconds;
if (timeSinceLastRequest < (1000 / maxRequestsPerSecond)) {
await Future.delayed(
Duration(milliseconds: (1000 / maxRequestsPerSecond).round() - timeSinceLastRequest)
);
}
lastRequest = DateTime.now();
}
