Step 1: Navigate to Manage Your Service Tab
Click the three dots at the top left of your screen, then click on 'Manage your Services.
Step 2: Navigate to the 'API Management' tab.
Go to the ‘API Management’ tab and click on ‘Create API Key.
If you haven’t set up 2FA for your account, you’ll be prompted to do so first
Step 3: Name Your New API connection.
Enter a name for your new API connection. Your API key and secret will be displayed after this step.
Make sure to save your ‘secret key’ immediately, as it won’t be shown again
Security Tips
Enable the necessary settings for your API. To prevent unauthorized access, it’s recommended that you use ‘Restricted access to trusted IPs only'.
Regularly review and update your API keys to maintain security.
Note: IP addresses can be in V4 format only. V6 format or IP range as (127.0.0.1/8) is not allowed by Binance.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
Problem with 2FA: Ensure your 2FA app is correctly synced with your account.
Issue with Saving Secret Key: If you lose your secret key, you’ll need to create a new API key.
Edit API Settings
