Secure Exchange API Setup

Connecting your exchange is the first operational step. Do it carefully to avoid costly mistakes.

Create a dedicated API key

Use a separate key for trading bots to isolate permissions.

Limit permissions

Enable only trading and read access. Keep withdrawals disabled.

Whitelist IPs

If supported, restrict API access to your server IP addresses.

Start in paper or small size

Validate connectivity and order routing before scaling.

Monitor rate limits

Handle exchange rate limits gracefully to avoid bans or rejected orders.
A secure API setup protects your funds and keeps automation reliable.
