+1 from me too.
If Binance Devs are not able to implement this endpoint, a workaround could be endpoint like /traded-symbols, which return all traded symbols. In most cases, it will reduce 1200+ calls to probably 5-100.

+1 from another developer here, it’s a crucial missing part of the API. This is already implemented in Binance’s private/internal API at:
-
https://www.binance.com/bapi/capital/v1/private/streamer/order/get-trade-orders(for orders) -
https://www.binance.com/bapi/capital/v1/private/streamer/trade/get-user-trades(for trades)
They return all orders/trades within a specific date range. We really need this on the public REST API since it’s impossible to fetch historical data via WebSocket, and the only current workarounds involve massive numbers of brute-force requests hitting Binance servers, taking a long time and consuming a lot of computing resources.

With new API limits it is very time consuming to get complete history.

+1. This feature must have for exchange, even more for such exchange like Binance, most popular nowadays. Mostly it needs for accounting. Taxes is very actual topic in crypto space currently. So if you don’t wanna lose the clients, would be good to invent this feature.
Hello guys. I am the founder and chief architect of rotki. The opensource portfolio tracking and accounting tool that protects user privacy: https://github.com/rotki/rotki/
Binance is one of our integrations and the experience is terrible. We integrate with many other exchanges and no exchanges forces us to DDOS the exchange in order to simply get user history.
This needs to be fixed to bring the binance API in line with other modern exchange APIs. The api request limit is is reached if for one user an ip tries to query all history. This is insane. Please provide a fix.
We at rotki have a growing userbase of over 4k users at the moment. Each user is making these queries from the local system effectively DOSing your exchange. The way your API is set up you are addinng unnecessary strain to your own servers.
To solve this for our users we offer them the ability to specify the markets they want to query, but this is just a patch until you guys can provide a proper solution: https://rotki.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage_guide.html#binance-binance-us

This is definitely a much-needed improvement over what we currently have available!
Right now in order to get a month’s data (Roughly around 50 transactions) for a client who just trades on BTCUSDT I need to make 1300 unnecessary calls, which in theory I can get the job done in just 1 call!
I can’s think of a possible reason as to why the devs at Binance think that putting a required symbol parameter is a good idea. I am ending up unwillingly DDOSing your servers Binance!! Their solution to this? They put even crazier weight limiting on their calls. It’s not our fault that we are spamming your API servers! If you improve the get trades endpoints we would not have to spam your server.

+1, please add proper order history.
+1, considering the information is already available on Binance’s website and it is not filtered by symbol, I don’t se a reason why it needs to be filtered when using the API. I will probably move to another exchange and also recommend people to do it because of this, I need to automate how my taxes are calculated.
+1. DDOS-ing is not nice for the user and also not nice for Binance.
+1 we are currently querying thousands of markets per customer as a catch-all of finding taxable events. A single get all trades endpoint makes would undoubtedly reduce the load on Binance’s infrastructure and prevent the need for clients to needless query thousands of rate limited endpoints.
+1 please allow retrieving trades without specifying a symbol
+1 The order history API is needed or modify the current allOrders API with the symbol as an optional field.
+1 for this feature.
Here we go again, another tax year and Binance still hasn’t implemented this. Their reason for not doing this is ridicules, and their silence on this issue speaks volumes about how they feel about their customer base.
I limit how much I use Binance now, because every year we have a TERRIBLE time trying to get transaction history for the tax year, it literally takes WEEKS, because they limit how much data you can download at a time. I tell everyone I can: DO NOT USE BINANCE! You will REGRET it come tax season!

More than a year already and this key feature is still not done.
That leaves me wondering, how does tracking softwares like cointracker.io handle issues like this and still accurately track users portfolio?

That’s not really a concern for most users. Most people are normal users with a single account. They’ll only request trades history when they need to synchronize and reconcile the balance with their local accounting software. Waiting is not a problem since this initial setup is an infrequent operation. Subsequent operations can ask for only new data since the last update.
What’s important is the ability to recover the full transaction history contained in Binance’s own accounts. This means deposits, credit card transactions, trades, fees, comissions, interest… Everything. We should be able to sum the values of all these transactions and reach our current wallet balance.
