The Ruby connector for Binance APIs provides a client for interacting with a subset of Binance REST APIs and WebSocket streams from Ruby applications.

This connector is considered legacy and is not actively maintained. It supports a limited set of Binance products and endpoints compared to newer SDKs available in other languages.

For source code, issues, and release notes, see the binance-connector-ruby repository on GitHub.

Status

⚠️ Maintenance status

The Ruby connector is currently not actively maintained. It supports only a subset of Binance products and APIs, and may not include newer endpoints or features.

For full product coverage and ongoing updates, we recommend using one of the actively maintained SDKs such as JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, PHP or Rust.

Supported environments

• Ruby 2.5 or newer
• Backend Ruby applications and scripts

This connector is intended for server-side usage only.

Package structure

The Ruby connector is distributed as a single Ruby gem.

It exposes a unified client interface for supported REST APIs and WebSocket streams, following a simple client-based design. Product coverage is limited and may vary depending on the API.

Typical use cases

• Simple scripts interacting with Binance REST APIs
• Applications consuming WebSocket streams for market data
• Lightweight automation or reporting tasks
• Prototyping or existing Ruby-based systems

Key features

• Support for a subset of Binance REST APIs
• Support for Binance WebSocket streams
• Simple client-based API design
• API key and secret authentication
• Easy installation via RubyGems

Getting started

Install the connector using RubyGems:

Code
gem install binance-connector-ruby

Or add it to your Gemfile:

Code
gem 'binance-connector-ruby'

Then install dependencies:

Code
bundle install

Create a client and send requests:

Code
require 'binance'

client = Binance::Spot.new(
  key: ENV['BINANCE_API_KEY'],
  secret: ENV['BINANCE_API_SECRET']
)

puts client.account

Refer to the repository documentation and the examples folder for additional REST and WebSocket usage examples.

Notes and best practices

• This connector supports REST APIs and WebSocket streams
• Product and endpoint coverage is limited and may not reflect the latest Binance APIs
• Monitor rate limits carefully, as older clients may not expose detailed weight information
• For production systems or full API coverage, use an actively maintained SDK
