How to Create and Set Up Binance.US API Key
In this guide, we will show you how to create, configure, and connect your Binance.US API key to the Bitsgap platform.
Bitsgap enables you to manage your cryptocurrency trades across various exchanges from a single interface, offering additional tools that aren't available directly on the exchange.
To perform trading operations, you will need to generate an API key from Binance.US. This key is unique to your account and ensures secure transactions, as it does not grant access to personal data or allow fund management such as withdrawals or deposits.
Steps to Create and Set Up the Binance.US API Key
-
Log in to Binance.US:
Start by logging into your Binance.US account, or create one if you haven't already.
-
Go to the API Management Page:
From your account settings (top-right corner), navigate to the API Management section.
-
Label Your API Key:
Choose a name for your API key (e.g., "Bitsgap API") to easily recognize its purpose. After labeling, click [Create].
-
Confirm the Creation of API Keys:
Binance.US will send a confirmation email to the address linked to your account. Open the email and confirm the creation of the API key.
-
Edit API Key Restrictions:
To enable Bitsgap to process your trades, you need to adjust the API key restrictions. Click [Edit restrictions] and apply the following permissions:- Can Read (this is enabled by default).
- Enable Spot Trading.
- Unrestricted IP Access.
- Once these changes are made, click [Save].
-
Copy Your API Key and Secret Key:
Make sure to copy both your API Key and Secret Key to a safe location. After editing the API key permissions, the Secret Key will be hidden, and if lost, you will need to start over.
-
Go to Bitsgap > My Exchanges:
Log into your Bitsgap account and navigate to the My Exchanges page. Here, you'll find the option to connect your Binance.US account. Click [Add new exchange].
-
Enter Your API and Secret Keys:
In the pop-up window, select Binance.US from the list of exchanges. Paste your API Key and Secret Key into the respective fields, then click [Connect].
Important: Ensure you are selecting Binance.US instead of the global Binance exchange.
-
Connection Check:
Once the API key is successfully connected, you will see Binance.US listed with a Connected status. Your available trading balance will also be displayed.
