When working with the Bingx API in Python, you may come across the need to retrieve a user’s balance. In this article, we will explore three different ways to achieve this task.
Option 1: Using the requests library
import requests
def get_user_balance(api_key):
url = "https://api.bingx.com/user/balance"
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
return response.json()["balance"]
else:
return None
# Example usage
api_key = "your_api_key"
balance = get_user_balance(api_key)
if balance is not None:
print(f"User balance: {balance}")
else:
print("Failed to retrieve user balance")
In this option, we use the requests library to send a GET request to the Bingx API’s user balance endpoint. We pass the API key in the Authorization header and handle the response accordingly. If the request is successful (status code 200), we extract the balance from the JSON response and return it. Otherwise, we return None.
Option 2: Using the http.client module
import http.client
import json
def get_user_balance(api_key):
conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("api.bingx.com")
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"
}
conn.request("GET", "/user/balance", headers=headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
if response.status == 200:
data = response.read()
balance = json.loads(data)["balance"]
return balance
else:
return None
# Example usage
api_key = "your_api_key"
balance = get_user_balance(api_key)
if balance is not None:
print(f"User balance: {balance}")
else:
print("Failed to retrieve user balance")
In this option, we use the http.client module to establish a connection with the Bingx API. We send a GET request to the user balance endpoint and pass the API key in the Authorization header. We then handle the response similarly to the previous option.
Option 3: Using the urllib module
import urllib.request
import json
def get_user_balance(api_key):
url = "https://api.bingx.com/user/balance"
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"
}
req = urllib.request.Request(url, headers=headers)
with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as response:
data = response.read()
if response.status == 200:
balance = json.loads(data)["balance"]
return balance
else:
return None
# Example usage
api_key = "your_api_key"
balance = get_user_balance(api_key)
if balance is not None:
print(f"User balance: {balance}")
else:
print("Failed to retrieve user balance")
In this option, we use the urllib module to send a GET request to the Bingx API’s user balance endpoint. We pass the API key in the Authorization header and handle the response similarly to the previous options.
After considering these three options, the best approach depends on your specific requirements and preferences. If you prefer a higher-level library with simpler syntax, option 1 using the requests library is a good choice. However, if you want more control over the HTTP connection and request handling, options 2 and 3 using the http.client and urllib modules respectively may be more suitable.

Option 2 is like trying to solve a Rubiks cube blindfolded, stick with Option 1! 🧩
Option 1 with requests library is the bomb! So easy and convenient. Who needs the others? 🙌🏼
Option 2 is so outdated, its like using a flip phone in the age of smartphones.
Option 1 is the way to go! Requests library is user-friendly and efficient.
Option 3 with urllib is the way to go! Simplicity and efficiency always win.
Option 2 is the way to go! http.client rocks and brings back the good old days 😎
