Generating the API Key
Generating the API Key
Before sending any requests, you'll need to generate a new API key.
This can be done in the Exchange website under User Center > API.
After generating the key, there are two things you need to carefully note down:
- API Key
- Secret Key
API Key and Secret are randomly generated by the system and cannot be modified. Default settings will be set to "Can Read" only, and you have the option of adding or removing certain permissions for your API Key via Web UI.
You can optionally specify a whitelist of IP addresses when generating the API Key. If specified, the API can only be used from the whitelisted IP addresses.
