Inputting parameters for Binance API in Python

Question

So I'm a newer beginning program in Python. I've been trying to piece together a program and I'm using the Python-Binance wrapper, but I can't figure out how to exactly enter in this parameter to get me return information in here.

I'm trying to get information for a coin pairing called ADAETH for an example. this is the line, but I can't figure the syntax for calling this. I feel like I'm missing something obvious here.

get_order_book(**params) Get the Order Book for the market

https://github.com/binance-exchange/binance-official-api-docs/blob/master/rest-api.md#order-book

Parameters: •symbol (str) – required •limit (int) – Default 100; max 1000

Returns:

API response

"lastUpdateId": 1027024,
"bids": [
    [
        "4.00000000",     # PRICE
        "431.00000000",   # QTY
        []                # Can be ignored
    ]
],
"asks": [
    [
        "4.00000200",
        "12.00000000",
        []
    ]
]

If you are new in python I'm sure you'll appreciate this advice: Install Anaconda it comes with and IDE called Spyder that is really useful. I'm not sure why you are using that Library, but i recommend using this one instead https://github.com/sammchardy/python-binance this one is the official. To install the binance library use this command in the conda promt

pip install python-binance

then you can use this code in a .py file (use spyder to create that)

from binance.client import Client
api_key = 
api_secret = 
client = Client(api_key, api_secret)
orders=client.get_order_book(symbol='ADAETH') #This will give you a dict with current orders (bids and ask) and a an integer that represent the last updated ID.
