What are the symbols used in Binance's dapi (coin futures api)?

I am trying to download historical price data of BTC/USD perpetual futures using binance's api for coin futures, specifically, I'd like to use this endpoint. However, I cannot find what 'symbol' I have to specify for BTC/USD. I've tried multiple variations to no avail (such as BTCUSD, BTCUSD_perpetual, etc. I constantly get the error: "Invalid symbol."

For 3Commas futures, the symbol they use is the TradingView ticker which for Coin-M Binance future is BTCUSD.P

The solution above is for coin futures, so in case anyone needs it for the other futures like BTCUSDTPERP, what worked for me was changing to the futures function: client.futures_create_order(symbol=symbol, side=side, type=order_type, quantity=quantity) and using "BTCUSDT".

If anyone is interested, I found out that you can get a list of all symbols using: GET /dapi/v1/exchangeInfo​. The BTC/USD perpetual futures one is: BTCUSD_PERP.
