Updating API Key Permissions with Trusted IP Addresses

To ensure the security of your exchange account, API keys without IP access restrictions will not be accepted by the system. To continue using Bitsgap with your API keys, updating the API key's permissions to include a list of trusted IP addresses is necessary.

Quick Navigation:

Currently, there are only 4 exchanges that require mandatory IP whitelisting:

  1. Binance
  2. Kucoin
  3. Kraken
  4. Crypto.com

Fast Replace

Info
The Fast Replace option is available only for the Binance and OKX exchanges.

1. Go to Bitsgap > My Exchanges page

After opening the tab, click [More] (the three dots) next to your exchange, then choose [Replace API key].

3. Check the connection status

The system will generate a new API key for your Binance or OKX account using “the Bitsgap_com” name and connect it to Bitsgap automatically. The created API key will contain all the necessary settings required for trading.

4. Create and label your API key

To set up a new API key, click [Create API] and then give it a descriptive name, so you can easily recognize that this key connects to your Bitsgap account.

5. Match API key restrictions

Now, it's necessary to edit the restrictions on your API key. This will allow our platform to process your trading activity in your exchange account.

Attention
Before editing your API permissions, be sure to copy the API key and Secret Key somewhere safe. Otherwise, after changing API key permissions, the Secret key becomes hidden, and you will need to start over again.

To verify the list of required permissions for each exchange, please refer to the following guides:

  1. Binance
  2. Kucoin
  3. Kraken
  4. Crypto.com

After you have finished adjusting the permissions and restrictions for your API key to allow Bitsgap platform access, be sure to click the [Save] or [Submit] button to confirm and finalize the changes you have made.

6. Return to the My Exchanges page and enter the API information

In the Manual Replace window:

  1. Paste your API key.
  2. Paste your Secret key.
  3. Paste your Passphrase (if applicable).
  4. Click [Replace].

7. Check the connection status
