¶ Step 1: Navigate To API Management Screen
- Log in to the Binance US website at https://www.binance.us.
- Click the Profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select API Management from the dropdown menu.
¶ 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.
- Enter a Label Name for your API key (e.g., "Tradegrub").
- Click the Create API button and complete the Security Verification using the code sent to your email or phone.
-
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 confirmation sent to email.
-
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.
