Creating an API Key
Select API in the bottom of the left sidebar of the Exchange dashboard
Select “+ New API Key” in the top-right corner
Populate the following fields:
Portfolio - API keys can only be used for a single portfolio. We do not support multiple portfolios for API keys.
Permissions - See section below on API Key Permissions
Passphrase - Create a passphrase
IP address whitelist - This is an optional field to further secure your API key. If you want to add multiple addresses please separate with a comma.
Finally, select Create API Key at the bottom to make a unique key and confirm your 2-step verification. The new API secret key will be displayed next, and the public key will be displayed on the API Settings page above the Nickname you set for your new API key
Please note that the API secret will only be shown once, so remember to record your Secret in a secure location. If you lose your API Secret, we will not be able to retrieve it.
The Passphrase, Secret key, and Public key are required to authorize and use the API Key
