Liquidation Data Endpoint `/fapi/v1/forceOrders` and Historical Files Unavailable (Geo-blocked / Removed)

[filoluc98]

Hello Binance team,

I would like to report that access to the following endpoint appears to be "inaccessible due to geolocation restrictions".
From: GET https://fapi.binance.com/fapi/v1/forceOrders

Requests return HTTP 451:
{
"msg": "Service unavailable from a restricted location according to 'b. Eligibility' in https://www.binance.com/en/terms"
}

This behavior persists even when connecting via IPs located in previously unrestricted regions (e.g. Japan, Singapore), and makes the endpoint effectively unusable for all non-whitelisted IPs.

Additionally, the historical liquidation snapshot files formerly available under "https://data.binance.vision/data/futures/um/daily/liquidationSnapshot/"
have been entirely removed from both the data listing, server and binance api docs!

• Is the /fapi/v1/forceOrders endpoint being deprecated or permanently geo-blocked?
• Will historical liquidation data (ZIP/CSV files) be restored or made available via any alternative channel (e.g. authenticated API, data feed, or cloud archive)?
  -Could Binance clarify its current policy or plans regarding public access to liquidation data for research, auditing, or transparency purposes?

This dataset has been crucial for building accurate market risk models and studying derivatives behavior.
A lack of access prevents reproducibility of research and inhibits trust.
Any update would be greatly appreciated.

Any updates?

@Ron321456 Historical liquidation snapshot data has been restored at "https://data.binance.vision/?prefix=data/futures/cm/daily/liquidationSnapshot/".
No updates regarding the forceOrder API call, only the WebSocket stream for liquidations is available.

@filoluc98 isn't that COIN-M. From what I remembered I COIN-M LiquidationSnapshot was still there. but I might be wrong, correct me if I am, thanks. Would it be better to ask in binance developer, even though some said it was not updated from Apr' 24:

@Ron321456 My bad! i actually looked at the wrong endpoint!
You are right, there's no update regarding usd contracts yet..

@filoluc98 No worries. Just talk to Binance RM, right now. Apparently, they have stopped providing this service quite a long time already, but I told them that I have interest on those data, and strongly urge them to release them again. Maybe if more of us send our feedback, then we might get the data we need.
