Creating an API allows you to connect to exchanges' servers via several programming languages. Data can be pulled from exchanges and interacted with in external applications. You can view your current wallet and transaction data, make trades, and deposit and withdraw your funds in third-party programs.

3. Complete the security verification with your registered 2FA devices.
4. Your API is now created. Please keep your Secret Key securely as will not be shown again. Do not share this key with anyone. If you forget your Secret Key, you will need to delete the API and create a new one.Please take note of the IP access restrictions. We recommend choosing [Restrict access to trusted IPs only] for security reasons.
