'Binance API list all symbols with their names from a public endpoint

I've integrated the Binance API in my project to show a list of all supported symbols and their corresponding icon. However, I'm unable to fetch the symbols name/description.

For instance, I can fetch BTC-EUR, but I can't fetch 'Bitcoin' or similar through a public endpoint. At least, I haven't found the endpoint so far.

For now, I'm using a private endpoint (which is behind authentication) at /sapi/v1/margin/allAssets. This returns me the name/description for each symbol, but as you can imagine I want to prevent usage of private API tokens on fetching public information

{
    "assetFullName": "Bitcoin",   <----- This is what I'm looking on a public endpoint
    "assetName": "BTC",
    "isBorrowable": true,
    "isMortgageable": true,
    "userMinBorrow": "0.00000000",
     "userMinRepay": "0.00000000"
}

So, my question is whether there is a public endpoint available to fetch the same information? Right now, I'm using the endpoint /api/v3/exchangeInfo to retrieve the available symbols on the exchange, but this response hasn't got the name/description of the symbol in it...

"symbols": [
    {
      "symbol": "ETHBTC",
      "status": "TRADING",
      "baseAsset": "ETH",
      "baseAssetPrecision": 8,
      "quoteAsset": "BTC",
      "quotePrecision": 8,
      "quoteAssetPrecision": 8,
      "orderTypes": [
        "LIMIT",
        "LIMIT_MAKER",
        "MARKET",
        "STOP_LOSS",
        "STOP_LOSS_LIMIT",
        "TAKE_PROFIT",
        "TAKE_PROFIT_LIMIT"
      ],
      "icebergAllowed": true,
      "ocoAllowed": true,
      "isSpotTradingAllowed": true,
      "isMarginTradingAllowed": true,
      "filters": [
        //These are defined in the Filters section.
        //All filters are optional
      ],
      "permissions": [
         "SPOT",
         "MARGIN"
      ]
    }
  ]

I've already looked for public endpoints about listing assets, as that's usually the namespace other exchanges return this information for, but I can't find such an endpoint in the documentation of the Binance API

I ran into this same frustrating mess. Binance US doesn't allow the /sapi/v1/margin/allAssets because MARGIN permissions aren't granted for US users (returns an 'Invalid Api-Key ID').

There is nothing else available in their SPOT accounts that gives this data.

What I ended up doing was pulling the data from CoinMarketCap via https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/cryptocurrency/map

PROS: It's free w/ the Basic account (you will need an account)

CONS: It's NOT a standard (there isn't one, that I can tell). It will work fine for BTC, but take a look at the symbol HOT -- there's a few of them. You will have to manually curate those to match Binance (I persisted the CMC Unique ID in addition to the symbol & name). It sucks, but Binance doesn't give basic data like the name of the currency, which is absurd.
