Creating a Binance US API Key for Your Crypto Trading Bot

This guide walks you through creating an API key on Binance US for automated trading. Follow these steps carefully to ensure secure and reliable bot operation on your account.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Log into Binance US: Access your Binance US account and confirm your account has completed all verification requirements for API access.

2. Open API Management: Find 'API Management' in your account profile menu. This is your central hub for creating and managing API keys for automated trading.

3. Create Your API Key: Select 'Create API' followed by 'System Generated'. This process generates the secure credentials your trading bot needs to interact with your account.

4. Label Your API Key: Create a clear, meaningful label for your key (e.g., "Spot-Trading-Bot-US"). Good labeling practices help you maintain multiple API keys efficiently.

5. IP Restriction (Security Best Practice): Implement these security measures:

   • Add your bot's IP address to the whitelist
   • Use a static IP address when possible
   • Keep your IP whitelist updated This critical security step helps prevent unauthorized API access.

6. Set API Key Permissions: Configure your permissions carefully:

   • Enable only the specific permissions needed for trading
   • Keep withdrawal permissions disabled for security
   • Double-check enabled permissions before proceeding Minimal permissions reduce security risks while ensuring full trading functionality.

7. Finalize the API Key Setup: Complete these final steps:

   • Review all configured settings
   • Verify security measures are in place
   • Complete any required 2FA or email verifications
   • Store your API credentials securely

Access your API settings directly through the Binance US API Management page.

A properly configured API key is fundamental for secure automated trading. Regular reviews of your API settings and security measures help maintain the integrity of your trading operations. Remember to never share your API credentials and always use secure channels when setting up your trading bot.
