Creating a BingX API Key

Set up an API key on BingX for automated trading and secure bot access.

Info

BingX is a cryptocurrency exchange that supports spot and derivatives trading. API keys allow trading software to connect to your BingX account for automated trades.

Step-by-Step Guide to API Key Creation​

  1. Log into BingX: Access your BingX account and ensure your account meets all security and verification requirements for API access.

  2. Go to API Management: Find the 'API Management' tab in your account settings or user dashboard to create and manage API credentials.

  3. Initiate API Key Creation: Select 'Create API Key' (or similar) to begin. This generates the credentials your bot will use.

  4. Configure Your API Key Permissions: Set up your key with these essential settings:

    • Enable trading permissions (e.g., "Read & Write" for trade execution).
    • Grant account information access (to read balances and positions).
    • Review any additional permissions based on your specific trading strategy and bot requirements. Select only the permissions necessary for your trading needs. Avoid granting withdrawal permissions.

  5. Secure Your API Key: Implement these security measures:

    • Enable IP Whitelisting: Restrict API key usage to one or more specific IP addresses.
    • Add your bot's static IP address to the whitelist.
    • Avoid enabling withdrawal permissions. This is a critical security step. These steps help protect your trading account from unauthorized access.

  6. Finalize API Key Setup: Before completing the setup:

    • Double-check all selected permissions and IP whitelist configurations.
    • Verify all security settings are correctly applied.
    • Complete any required two-factor authentication (2FA) or other security verifications.
    • Securely store your API Key and Secret Key. The Secret Key is typically shown only once.

You can typically access your API settings directly through BingX API Management.

A well-configured API key supports reliable automated trading. Review API settings regularly, keep credentials private, and never share them.
