Python Trading Bot

If you’re building a crypto trading bot, a useful function can be checking the status of the exchange you’re using.

Knowing the status allows you to add error handling to your bot — i.e. “If status==False don’t trade.

To check the status of Binance and return a boolean based on availability, implement the following function:

from binance.spot import Spot


# Function to query Binance and retrieve status
def query_binance_status():
    # Query for system status
    status = Spot().system_status()
    if status['status'] == 0:
        return True
    else:
        raise False

No login details are required for this function.
