Ethereum: Sharing Data Between Binance Twisted Internet Websocket and an Asyncio Thread
As Ethereum’s popularity grows, so does the demand for reliable and efficient ways to interact with its underlying infrastructure. One such example is creating a WebSocket connection using Binance’s Twisted Internet WebSocket library and an asyncio thread in Python.
In this article, we will explore how to create a WebSocket server on Binance that will fetch data from their API (Binance API) and send it to an asynchronous thread for processing.
Prerequisites
Before we dive into the code, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
- Python 3.6+
- Binance’s Twisted Internet Websocket library (“twisted”)
asyncio
library
Code
Here is a step-by-step example of how to create a WebSocket server on Binance that will read data from their API and send it to an asyncio thread:
from binance.websockets import BinanceSocketManager
import asyncio
import json

Define the URL for the Binance API (replace with your own API key)BINANCE_API_URL = "
class WebSocketServer: .
def __init__(self):
self.socket_manager = BinanceSocketManager(BINANCE_API_URL, on_open=self.on_open);
async def on_open ( self , socket ):
wait socket.send("Connected")
async def handle_message ( self , message ):
print(f"Received message: {message}")
async def main():
Create a WebSocket serverws_server = WebSocketServer()
Define an asynchronous event loopchorus = asyncio.get_event_loop()
Start an asynchronous task to send data to an asyncio threadasync def send_data_to_thread():
while true:
message = wait ws_server.socket_manager.recv();
if message.startwith("disconnect"):
break
Parse and process the received messagedata = json.loads(message)
print(f"Received data: {data}")
Simulate processing timeawait asyncio.sleep(1)
Run an asynchronous task to send data to an asyncio threadchorus.run_until_complete(send_data_to_thread())
asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(coroutine(main()))
Explanation
In this code, we define a WebSocketServer
class that establishes a connection to Binance’s Twisted Internet WebSocket library using BinanceSocketManager
. When an incoming message is received, we print it to the console.
We then create an asynchronous event loop and run two asynchronous tasks: one to send data to the asynchronous thread and one to process the received messages. The send_data_to_thread
function simulates the processing time by sleeping for 1 second between each retry of receiving a message.
Finally, we run both tasks simultaneously using coro.run_until_complete(send_data_to_thread())
.
Conclusion
In this article, we demonstrated how to create a WebSocket connection between Binance’s Twisted Internet WebSocket library and an asyncio thread in Python. Following the code example above, you can create your own WebSocket server that retrieves data from the Binance API and sends it to an asynchronous thread for processing.
Please note that this is just a basic example to get you started. You may need to modify the code to suit your specific use case and handle errors more robustly.
