Monitoring Recent Binance Wallet Transfers with Timestamp Checks
Summary
This tutorial outlines a JavaScript monitor for recent transfers between Binance account wallets. It queries the exchange's transfer-history endpoint for each defined transfer direction, compares returned timestamps with the most recently recorded timestamp for that direction, and treats newer entries as transfers to report. A mapping translates transfer-type codes into readable descriptions, while a rolling in-memory record list supports a status display of recent transfer details such as asset, amount, status, transaction identifier, and time.
The example runs periodically and reports that a manually initiated transfer was detected in a live test. Its main limitation is the endpoint's maximum of 100 records per request: more than that many transfers between checks could cause missed entries. The sample also depends on API behavior, successful queries, timestamp ordering, and an in-memory monitor, so it is an operational monitoring example rather than a trading strategy or a durable audit system. It provides no evidence about trading performance or broader reliability.
Key ideas
- The monitor polls recent transfer history separately for each supported wallet-transfer direction.
- It uses the greatest previously observed timestamp to identify newly reported records.
- A rolling list and status tables make recent transfer details visible to the operator.
- The endpoint's 100-record response limit can cause missed transfers if activity exceeds that limit between polls.
- A manual transfer test is reported, but the example does not establish long-term reliability or trading performance.
