Hi Team,

Could you please point me in the direction, how to retrieve the current position (the equivalent of the “Size” column you would see on their Futures Market web console) of a Futures contract in my Binance Futures Account (spot works absolutely fine). I have successfully pointed towards the fapi endpoint, it is just that the method .FetchBalance() does not seem to contain any information about the quantity of how many Futures the account owns (e.g.: for Bitmex, this is solved by using the method call “.private_get_position()”).

Could you please point me in the right direction (I am not sure this is an actual issue)?

Thank you very much in advance!

@h-keskin

$id = 'binance';
// instantiate the exchange by id
$exchange = '\\ccxt\\' . $id;
$exchange = new $exchange(array(
    'enableRateLimit' => true,
    'apiKey' => 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    'secret' => 'YOUR_SECRET',
    'options' => array(
        'defaultType' => 'future',
    ),
));
$result = $exchange->fapiPrivate_get_positionrisk();
var_dump($result);

It’s basically a line-to-line equvalent.
