API Security

<div class="intercom-interblocks-paragraph no-margin intercom-interblocks-align-left">

<p><strong>API Account Lock</strong> is an algorithm that limits the use of one API key on several Bitsgap accounts and optimizes checking API data when connecting an exchange. This helps to protect your data and avoid reusing the API key for any other account.</p>

<p>The system will also generate a pop-up notification that the API key has already been connected to another Bitsgap account. You will see the API error status on the "<strong>My Exchanges</strong>" page, as shown below.</p>

</div>
<div class="intercom-interblocks-paragraph no-margin intercom-interblocks-align-left">
<p>If you tried to add the same API key to a new account, go to the exchange and create a new API key, which can later be used for a new Bitsgap account.</p>
</div>
<div class="intercom-interblocks-paragraph no-margin intercom-interblocks-align-left">
<p>In case API keys have not been linked to your account yet, but you receive an email and an error notification that your API data has already been used, then we strongly recommend you <strong>log in to your exchange account</strong>,<strong> delete all unused API keys, and create a new one for our platform</strong>.</p>
