more...Welcome back to Part 37 of the Introduction to MQL5 series! In the previous article, we introduced the basics of API signatures and explored how secure requests are created in MQL5 using hashing and HMAC-based techniques. We focused on why signatures are necessary, how they protect sensitive requests, and how MQL5 handles signature generation at a conceptual level.
This article builds on that foundation by taking the next useful step. Here, we will write an MQL5 script that retrieves account balance data for every asset that is accessible by sending authenticated API queries to Binance. This will compile all the previously discussed topics, such as using WebRequest, handling timestamps, creating signatures, and interacting with private API endpoints. You will have a firm grasp of how to safely interact with Binance and retrieve actual account information straight from MQL5 at the end of this article.
