Example

Python

import requests

body = {"symbol": "btcusdt", "exchange": "EXCHANGE_2", "leverage": 13}
headers, path = sign_request("POST", "/trade/api/v2/futures/leverage")
response = requests.post(BASE_URL + path, headers=headers, json=body)
print(response.json())

Java

HashMap<String, Object> body = new HashMap<>();
body.put("symbol", "btcusdt");
body.put("exchange", "EXCHANGE_2");
body.put("leverage", 13);

HttpResponse<String> resp = client.send(
    "POST", "/trade/api/v2/futures/leverage", null, body);
System.out.println(resp.body());

Go

body := map[string]any{
    "symbol": "btcusdt",
    "exchange": "EXCHANGE_2",
    "leverage": 13,
}
bodyJSON, _ := json.Marshal(body)
headers, p, err := SignRequest("POST", "/trade/api/v2/futures/leverage", nil)
if err != nil { panic(err) }

req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", BaseURL+p, bytes.NewReader(bodyJSON))
for k, v := range headers { req.Header.Set(k, v) }
resp, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
if err != nil { panic(err) }
defer resp.Body.Close()
out, _ := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
fmt.Println(string(out))

Node.js

const {signRequest, BASE_URL} = require('./reference-client');

const body = {"symbol": "btcusdt", "exchange": "EXCHANGE_2", "leverage": 13};

const {headers, path} = signRequest('POST', '/trade/api/v2/futures/leverage');
const r = await fetch(BASE_URL + path, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify(body),
});
console.log(await r.json());

Response

{
  "data": {
    "exchange": "EXCHANGE_2",
    "symbol": "BTCUSDT",
    "leverage": "13"
  }
}
