In this article, we will show you how to create, configure, and connect your Binance API key to the Darkbot platform.
DarkBot is a trading platform that allows you to work with numerous cryptocurrency exchanges from a unified interface with access to additional tools that are not available on the exchange.
All trading operations are created and processed by using an exchange API key which is unique for every user. An API key is a safest and reliable way to use a platform because it does not give access to your personal data and prevents any funds management (withdrawals & deposits).
Log in to your Binance account or create a new one.
To connect your Binance Futures Account, the first step is to create one. Please, go to your Wallet > Futures to open a new Binance Futures Account. If you already have Binance Futures Account, you can skip this step.
From your account settings (top-right corner) navigate to API Management page.
Give your API key any name (it is your personal choice) so you can easily understand that this key is connected to your Darkbot account. When ready, click [Create].
Before we edit permissions of your API key, make sure to copy your API key and Secret Key somewhere safe. Otherwise, after editing API key permission the Secret key becomes hidden and you would need to start over again.
Now you need to Edit restrictions on your API key so our platform receives access to process your trading activity on your Binance account. Please, click [Edit restrictions] as shown below and follow the instructions below.
Here is the list of required permissions:
Can Read on (active by default)
Enable Spot & Margin Trading off
Enable Withdrawals off
Enable Futures on
Unrestricted IP access on
When ready, click [Save]
7. Match you API key with our application
