Research direction

Start by reviewing the SDK's synchronous REST client and its use of the requests library, then compare async HTTP-library options such as httpx. Done means async REST operations are available for Binance services while existing synchronous usage remains compatible.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, the Binance Python SDK relies on the synchronous requests library for its REST API operations. This makes it challenging to integrate with asynchronous Python applications and frameworks.

  • Please consider adding support for async REST API operations to the SDK, such as by providing an async client or refactoring key functionality to use an async HTTP library (e.g., httpx, which supports both sync and async).
  • This enhancement would greatly benefit developers who need high concurrency with Binance services but cannot use WebSocket.
  • Maintaining backwards compatibility with synchronous usage would be ideal.

Thank you for considering this feature!
