ETHBTC not BTCETH

API Spot/Margin API

hi! Is there any special reason behind the coding of the symbol pairs? e.g. why it is ETHBTC, and not BTCETH ?

Given any two coins, is there any way to know which of the coins is the first part of the symbol, and which is the second part?

Thanks!

You can use exchangeInfo endpoint to get all the available symbols and know which asset is base asset and which is defined as quote asset.

Yes, thanks, got it. I was just wondering if there’s any reason a particular coin is the base asset (e.g. ETH) and the other is the quote asset (e.g. BTC), and not vice versa.
