How to convert list into DataFrame in Python (Binance Futures API)


Using Binance Futures API I am trying to get a proper form of my position regarding cryptocurrencies. Using the code

from binance_f import RequestClient
request_client = RequestClient(api_key= my_key, secret_key=my_secet_key)
result = request_client.get_position()

I get the following result

[{"symbol":"BTCUSDT","positionAmt":"0.000","entryPrice":"0.00000","markPrice":"5455.13008723","unRealizedProfit":"0.00000000","liquidationPrice":"0","leverage":"20","maxNotionalValue":"5000000","marginType":"cross","isolatedMargin":"0.00000000","isAutoAddMargin":"false"}]

The type command indicates it is a list, however adding at the end of the code print(result) yields:

[<binance_f.model.position.Position object at 0x1135cb670>]

Which is baffling because it seems not to be the list (in fact, debugging it indicates object of type Position). Using PrintMix.print_data(result) yields:

data number 0 :
entryPrice:0.0
isAutoAddMargin:True
isolatedMargin:0.0
json_parse:<function Position.json_parse at 0x1165af820>
leverage:20.0
liquidationPrice:0.0
marginType:cross
markPrice:5442.28502271
maxNotionalValue:5000000.0
positionAmt:0.0
symbol:BTCUSDT
unrealizedProfit:0.0

Now it seems like a JSON format... But it is a list. I am confused - any ideas how I can convert result to a proper DataFrame? So that columns are Symbol, PositionAmt, entryPrice, etc.

Thanks!


Solution

  • Your main question remains as you wrote on the header you should not be confused. In your case you have a list of Position object, you can see the structure of Position in the GitHub of this library

    Anyway to answer the question please use the following:

    df = pd.DataFrame([t.__dict__ for t in result])

    Good Luck!
