The signature is required in this endpoint, here is a script in python without dependency,

github.com

binance-exchange/binance-signature-examples/blob/master/python/futures.py

import hmac
import time
import hashlib
import requests
import json
from urllib.parse import urlencode

""" This is a very simple script working on Binance API

- work with USER_DATA endpoint with no third party dependency
- work with testnet

Provide the API key and secret, and it's ready to go

Because USER_DATA endpoints require signature:
- call `send_signed_request` for USER_DATA endpoints
- call `send_public_request` for public endpoints

```python

Hope this will be helpful.

@dino Would be great if there was a market data endpoint that returned the range (or just the max possible) leverage. The api docs state
"initialLeverage": 75, // Max initial leverge for this bracket

but that is not what is returned. The “max initial” here is for the bracket (whatever that is)… not for the USDT pair.

Probably should be part of exchangeInfo as a filter for each symbol.

Hi, sorry for so later reply, but i hope that this can help to someone in Future, just take it python code

from binance_f import RequestClient
from binance_f.constant.test import *
from binance_f.base.printobject import *
from binance_f.model.constant import *

g_api_key = “your api key”
g_secret_key = “your secret key”
request_client = RequestClient(api_key=g_api_key, secret_key=g_secret_key)

def maxLeverage(pair):
request_client = RequestClient(api_key=g_api_key, secret_key=g_secret_key)
result = request_client.get_leverage_bracket()
for x in result:
if x.symbol == pair:
hallow = x.brackets[0]
return(hallow.initialLeverage)

reback = maxLeverage(‘ETHUSDT’)

print(reback)

\\\NOTE, this what does is connect to this api -> https://github.com/Binance-docs/Binance_Futures_python/blob/master/example/trade/get_leverage_bracket.py

and goes to the pair that you just specify and find the maxLeverage that you can do with this pair, if anyone has any questions can write me via Telegram (preferred) [@Nightscript], or gmail (maybe you’ll get response a lit later =)) [kevinabadromero@gmail.com], Kevin.
