How can I get proper names for futures symbols? #1252

For example if I want to place an order for BTCUSDT perpetual futures what symbol should I specify? How can I find that information for other tickers?

So far I have tried:

BTCUSDT
BTCUSDTPERP
BTCUSDT_PERP

All of them didn't work.

My code:

client.futures_coin_create_order(symbol="BTCUSDT", side="SELL", type="MARKET", quantity=0.001)

Turns out I have to use client.futures_create_order().
