Binance

A comprehensive guide on how to generate your API keys on Binance!

Step One: Log in to your Binance account at https://accounts.binance.com

Step Two: After signing in, select your profile icon in the top right corner, then select API Management from the dropdown.

Step Three: Select the “Create API” button.

You will be prompted to choose an API key type then to create a new API Key. Select "System Generated API Key" then enter a label for your key. In our example we chose to make it “How To Guide”. We recommend making the label as descriptive as possible to reflect the use case of the specific API. Once you have a desired label, click the “Next” button.

Step Four: Enter the appropriate verification codes, sent to your email and authenticator app.

Step Five: Verify the permissions of the API Key are correct

You want to ensure that Enable Reading is enabled, and all functions relating to trading, transfers, and withdrawals are disabled. This should be the case by default, however it is important to double-check at this stage as the Hash Data tool will deny the API key if any trading functions are enabled.

Be sure to record your Secret Key in a secure location, as this key will be permanently hidden once the page is refreshed.

Step Six: Enter your API keys into the Hash Data tool

Log into the Client Portal of the Hash Data tool, then navigate down to Exchange Accounts (1), selected Add Exchange (2), then enter your keys where prompted (3). As reference, the "API Key" from Binance is the "" in the Hash Data tool.

Step Seven: Click "Test Keys" and let that complete.

If the test sends an error in response, please re-review the information entered and the permissions associated with the API key. The software has a number of checks in place to prevent users from uploading keys with "Edit" capabilities, so this is the most common source of errors.

Once the keys are tested and no errors are noted, click "Submit".

Congratulation - the Hash Data tool is now able to read your exchange account!
