How to Create a Binance API Key Safely

Before you create the Binance API key

An API key lets software send authenticated requests to an exchange account. It is not a wallet seed phrase, but incorrect permissions can still create serious risk. Complete these checks first:

Enable two-factor authentication and complete Binance identity verification.
Activate the account as required by Binance and enable the Futures account before creating the key.
Have a stable public IP ready if you plan to enable futures trading on a system-generated key.

How to create a Binance API key

01
Sign in on Binance, open the profile menu, choose Account and then API Management.
02
Select Create API and choose a system-generated key unless you specifically use RSA or Ed25519 keys.
03
Give the key a unique name such as Crypto Pulse Execute and complete the security checks.
04
Open Edit restrictions, keep reading enabled and enable Futures trading only.
05
Add the approved server IP restriction. Keep withdrawals disabled, then save the API key and secret once.

Binance API key security checklist

Create a dedicated key instead of reusing a key from another bot or service.
Use the smallest possible permission set and keep withdrawals disabled.
Bind the key to approved IP addresses whenever the exchange supports it.
Never share an exchange password, 2FA code, seed phrase or wallet private key.
Delete and recreate the API key if a secret appears in a screenshot, message or log.
Review active keys regularly and remove credentials you no longer use.
