How to Add a New Exchange in Gunbot

Adding a new exchange connection to Gunbot is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through each step, from accessing the management interface to finalizing the setup.

Info

In Gunbot, an "API Slot" represents a connection to a single exchange account. Your Gunbot license determines the number of API slots you can use simultaneously.

Accessing Manage API Slots​

First, navigate to the Manage API Slots section in your Gunbot interface. This area is where you manage all your exchange connections.

Checking for Free Slots​

Look for available (free) slots in your API slots list. If a slot is free, you will see a '+' symbol. Click this symbol to begin adding a new exchange.

Note

If you have no free slots and need to add a new exchange, you must first remove an existing API key. Use the 'trash can' icon next to an existing exchange connection to free up a slot.

Selecting the Exchange​

From the displayed list, select the cryptocurrency exchange you wish to connect to Gunbot.

Entering Credentials​

Enter your exchange API credentials in the provided fields. This typically includes your API key and secret key. Ensure that these details are entered correctly to establish a successful connection.

Saving and Authentication​

After entering your credentials, save your settings. Gunbot may require an active connection to an exchange to validate and save the configuration changes.

Finalizing and Using the New Exchange​

Once these steps are completed, the new exchange is added to your Gunbot. You can now navigate to the trading settings page to configure and add trading pairs for this exchange.

Additional Information for Additional Exchange Slots​

If your Gunbot license includes additional exchange slots (e.g., allowing multiple accounts on the same exchange or connections to more unique exchanges), the process for adding them remains the same. The only difference might be in how you select the exchange if it's a duplicate of an already added one (e.g., selecting 'Binance #2' if you're adding a second Binance account).
