Steps to get Binance API keys:
- Log in to your Binance account: Access your account using your email and password.
- Go to the API Management section: Look for the "API Management" or "API Keys" option in your account settings, usually found in the security or profile menu.
- Create a new API key: Click the button to generate a new API key. You will need to confirm your identity via a verification code sent to your email or mobile device.
- Set permissions: When creating the API key, choose the permissions you want to grant. Common permissions include:
- Read: Allows the app to read account information, such as wallet balances.
- Write: Allows the app to perform trading operations (e.g., buying and selling cryptocurrencies).
- Withdrawal: Allows the app to withdraw funds from your account.
- Deposit: Allows the app to deposit funds into your account.
Be sure to grant only the permissions necessary.
- Download API Keys: Once permissions are set, you'll receive an API key and a secret key. Download and store these keys securely. Never share them with anyone, as they can be used to access your account and perform unauthorized transactions.
Important Considerations:
- Security: API keys are like passwords, so protect them carefully. Avoid storing them in unencrypted text files or sharing them with third parties.
- Limit Permissions: Only grant the necessary permissions to each API key to minimize risks.
- Revoke API Keys: If you suspect an API key is compromised, revoke it immediately and create a new one.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enable 2FA on your Binance account for added security.
- Disable Withdrawal Authorization: Ensure the API key does not have withdrawal permissions unless absolutely necessary.
