nautilus-binance

license

NautilusTrader adapter for the Binance cryptocurrency exchange.

The nautilus-binance crate provides client bindings (HTTP & WebSocket), data models, and helper utilities that wrap the official Binance API across:

Spot trading (api.binance.com)
Spot margin trading
USD-M Futures (fapi.binance.com)
COIN-M Futures (dapi.binance.com)
European Options (eapi.binance.com)

Platform

NautilusTrader is an open-source, high-performance, production-grade algorithmic trading platform, providing quantitative traders with the ability to backtest portfolios of automated trading strategies on historical data with an event-driven engine, and also deploy those same strategies live, with no code changes.

NautilusTrader's design, architecture, and implementation philosophy prioritizes software correctness and safety at the highest level, with the aim of supporting mission-critical, trading system backtesting and live deployment workloads.

Authentication

This crate requires Ed25519 API keys for all authenticated endpoints (REST and WebSocket API). Ed25519 is recommended by Binance for its superior performance and security. HMAC and RSA keys are not supported.

Generate an Ed25519 keypair and register it with Binance:

# Generate private key (PKCS#8 PEM format)
openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out binance_ed25519_private.pem

# Extract public key for Binance registration
openssl pkey -in binance_ed25519_private.pem -pubout -out binance_ed25519_public.pem

Set credentials via environment variables:

export BINANCE_API_KEY="your-api-key-from-binance"
export BINANCE_API_SECRET="$(cat binance_ed25519_private.pem)"

Feature flags

This crate provides feature flags to control source code inclusion during compilation:

python: Enables Python bindings from PyO3.
extension-module: Builds as a Python extension module.

High-precision mode (128-bit value types) is enabled by default.
