The fastest Binance Alpha listing WebSocket for bots and snipers

New Listings Feed's ultra-low-latency WebSocket API delivers Alpha Featured and Alpha Live listing alerts directly to trading bots. It's optimized for the fastest processing and delivery, with detection and send times stamped in microseconds. We've tracked exchange listings in the open for over two years, with excellent reliability and speed.

Appearing on Binance Alpha can precede a Binance spot listing, though not every asset makes that transition. When Binance announced 牛来 for spot trading on 9 September 2026, its notice said the token could already trade on Binance Alpha.

What's the difference between Alpha Featured and Alpha Live?

Alpha Featured means Binance announced the token for Binance Alpha, and trading may not have started. A feature notice can arrive days before trading opens.

Alpha Live means the token is added to Binance Alpha 2.0 and is live there. An Alpha Live notice for the same token can arrive before or after the feature notice.

APM had both. Its Alpha Featured post, which we detected at 09:15:02 UTC on 15 September 2026, named 17 September as the feature date. We detected its Alpha Live notice at 13:00:06 UTC on 17 September.

Both are listing events. Alpha Featured uses type: alpha and Alpha Live uses type: alpha-live. parser.display reads featured on Binance Alpha or live on Binance Alpha 2.0.

Should your bot read the raw notice or the parsed event?

/v2/fast sends the raw Alpha notice before parsing. An Alpha Live notice names the chain and contract, so a bot with its own parser can read them straight from the text field.

/v2/full sends the parsed event with the alpha or alpha-live type and the ticker. STARTER and PRO add source-confirmed chains and contracts under contracts when available, along with available DEX pools and market data. On FREE, the title ends before the chain, contract and market cap.

How fast does New Listings Feed publish Binance Alpha alerts?

On /v2/fast, the recorded APM Alpha Live notice took 187µs (0.187ms) from detection to publication on 17 September 2026. The APM Alpha Featured post took 180µs (0.180ms) on 15 September.

/v2/full publishes after parsing and adds the ticker and notice type, plus the contract and market data on paid keys. Both streams carry detected_time_us and sent_time_us, so you can check the timing of every event yourself.

Recent Binance Alpha listings in the feed

Each listing page shows the original notice, our detection time, trading status and live charts. Detection times are in UTC.

Which endpoint should a Binance Alpha bot use?

For Binance Alpha, start with our dedicated AWS Tokyo WebSocket. STARTER and PRO keys connect directly to wss://tokyo.newlistings.pro/v2/fast for raw notices or wss://tokyo.newlistings.pro/v2/full for parsed events, and also include our New York and Seoul endpoints.

Compare arrivals from the server that runs your bot. A free key tests your integration with a 3-second configured delay. To judge our fastest delivery, measure with PRO, which has zero configured delay; network time to your server still applies.

What does a Binance Alpha event look like?

On Telegram and X, each alert is one line, such as $BREW live on Binance Alpha 2.0. On the WebSocket, the same notice arrives as JSON.

The two /v2/fast records are APM's raw Alpha Live notice, with the chain and contract in its text, and its Alpha Featured post. The /v2/full record for PONS, a Robinhood Chain token, carries the confirmed contract under contracts, with DEX pools and market data.

How do I receive only Binance Alpha notices?

Connect to /v2/full?exchange=binance&market_type=alpha,alpha-live for both notices. market_type=alpha-live carries Alpha Live only. market_type=alpha carries Alpha Featured listings and Alpha removals, which arrive as event: delisting. Each value matches in full, so alpha doesn't include alpha-live.

Check parser.classification.event in your client to keep listings only. To receive Alpha notices with other Binance events, list every value you want, such as market_type=spot,futures,alpha,alpha-live.

/v2/fast has no market_type filter because it sends notices before classification. Use exchange=binance there and read the raw text.

Node.js: Binance Alpha listings

Install ws, set NLF_API_KEY to your key, and save the example as binance-alpha-listings.cjs. Run node binance-alpha-listings.cjs. It prints each Alpha listing with its notice type.

This example uses the FREE endpoint, which has a 3-second configured delay and no contract data. With STARTER or PRO, connect to wss://tokyo.newlistings.pro/v2/full with the same filters to receive contracts.

Loop through parser.assets, since one notice can name several tokens. On paid keys, when a feature post names no contract, contracts stays empty and a candidate may appear under suggested_match, with a confidence label.

// npm install ws
const WebSocket = require("ws");

if (!process.env.NLF_API_KEY) {
  throw new Error("Set NLF_API_KEY before starting the client.");
}

const ws = new WebSocket(
  "wss://ws.newlistings.pro/v2/full?exchange=binance&market_type=alpha,alpha-live",
  { headers: {
    authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.NLF_API_KEY}`
  } }
);

ws.on("message", raw => {
  const message = JSON.parse(raw.toString());
  if (message.type === "error") {
    console.error(message.code, message.message);
    return;
  }
  const classification = message.parser?.classification;
  if (classification?.event !== "listing") return;

  const notice = classification.type === "alpha-live" ? "Alpha Live" : "Alpha Featured";
  for (const asset of message.parser.assets) {
    console.log({
      id: message.id,
      symbol: asset.symbol,
      notice,
      display: message.parser.display,
      contracts: asset.contracts ?? [],
      suggested_contracts: asset.suggested_match?.suggested_contracts,
      url: message.url,
      detected_time_us: message.detected_time_us
    });
  }
});

ws.on("error", error => console.error(error.message));
