How to create and set up Binance API key
In this article, we will show you how to create, configure, and connect your Binance and Binance Futures API key to the Reins Platform.
Reins is a trading platform that allows you to work with numerous cryptocurrency exchanges from a unified interface with access to additional tools unavailable on the exchange.
All trading operations are created and processed using an exchange API key unique to every user. An API key is a safe and reliable way to use a platform because it does not give access to personal data and prevents any funds management (withdrawals & deposits).
Connection of Binance API keys
1. Log in to Binance
Log in to your Binance account or create a new one.
2. Go to the API Management page
From your account settings (top-right corner), navigate to the API Management page.
3. Create an API key
Click on [Create API] to create a new API key for the Reins platform.
4. Choose the API key type
Select the "System Generated" type of API key and proceed by pressing [Next].
5. Label your API keys
Give your API key any name (it is your personal choice), so you can easily understand that this key is connected to your Reins account.
6. Go to Reins > My Exchanges page
Log in to your Reins account, go to the My Exchanges page, and click the [Binance exchange] button to continue.
7. Copy the list of trusted IP addresses (by clicking on the 'Copy' icon) and save them somewhere for now (in a notepad, for example). We will need these IPs later when setting up your API permissions.
8. Match API key restrictions
Now you need to edit the restrictions of your API key - this will allow our platform to process your trading activity on your Binance account. Please, click [Edit restrictions] as shown below and follow the further instructions.
Here is the list of required permissions:
IP Access restrictions: Restrict access to trusted IPs only (insert the IPs copied from the My exchanges tab).
Click [Confirm] to save the pasted IP addresses.
Enable Reading on (active by default).
Enable Spot & Margin Trading on.
Enable Futures on (optional).
When ready, click [Save].
9. Copy your API key and Secret key
Make sure to copy your API key and Secret Key somewhere safe.
10. Go back to Reins > My Exchanges
In the pop-up window, do the following:
Choose Binance.
Paste your API key.
Paste your Secret key.
Verify your Email.
Click Save.
