¶ Step 2: Create a New API Key
Please AVOID selecting the "Withdrawal" or "Transfer" options when adding an API key, as these are not needed for our app to operate.

- Provide a Label/Name for your API key.
- Before creating an API key, ensure:
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled.
- A deposit is made to your Spot Wallet to activate your account.
- Identity verification is completed.
- Choose your preferred API key type:
- System-generated: Uses HMAC symmetric encryption, providing an API key and a Secret Key.
- Self-generated: Uses Ed25519 or RSA asymmetric encryption. You need to create a public-private key pair using a third-party generator and provide the public key to Binance.
- Verify the request using your 2FA devices and passkeys.
- Your API key is now created, and the Secret Key will only be displayed once. Make sure to store it securely.
- For Security, it is highly recommended to whitelist specific IP addresses to safeguard your API key.
To whitelist our IP address, refer to the guide - Add Tradegrub IP
Important: Avoid using unrestricted settings, as they significantly reduce account security.
