Inconsistent Volume Data from Binance API for USDT Market – Help Needed!Wrong data!

API Futures API

I am trying to retrieve the latest market data specifically for USDT pairs using Binance’s APIs, but I’m encountering inconsistencies in the returned data, especially regarding volume. Below are the details:

  1. Server Location: Our server is based in the United States.
  2. API Methods Tried:
    Method 1:
    https://www.binance.com/fapi/v1/ticker/24hr
    This API returns the error:
    "Service unavailable from a restricted location according to 'b. Eligibility'..."
    Method 2:
    https://data-api.binance.vision/api/v3/ticker/24hr
    This API call is successful, but the returned data seems incorrect.
    Key Issue with Returned Data:
    For example, the 24-hour volume for BTCUSDT is shown as 16047.94003000, which seems far too low compared to what’s shown on the official website.

Hey,
The US is one of the prohibited countries on Binance.com. You would need to use binance.us, which doesn’t offer futures trading.

As for the second issue, the GET /api/v3/ticker/24hr endpoint retrieves spot market data, which differs from futures market data.

@albin Thank you for the clarification!

I now understand that the US is restricted from using Binance.com, and the /api/v3/ticker/24hr endpoint returns spot market data, not futures data, which explains the discrepancy.

Is there any API I can use to retrieve futures market data? Alternatively, can I still use https://www.binance.com/fapi/v1/ticker/24hr if I set up a proxy to bypass the regional restrictions?

I would suggest you to have a look at the documentation: General Info | Binance Open Platform

As for using the /fapi/v1/ticker/24hr endpoint in the US, I don’t have any specific suggestions.
