Exchange API Keys

Golden Rules — Read Before You Start
  • ✅ Enable read-only / view permissions (balances, positions, account info).
  • ❌ Never enable Withdraw, Trade, Transfer, or Futures-trading permissions.
  • 🔒 The API Secret (and passphrase) is shown only once — copy it immediately.
  • 🧷 Keep keys in CryptoBaza only; never paste them into untrusted websites.
  • 🌐 IP whitelisting is optional for mobile use and can break access if your IP changes — leave it off unless you have a static IP.

Exchange interfaces change over time; if a menu name differs, look for a section called API, API Management, or API Keys in your account settings. Below are the steps for the 6 exchanges supported in CryptoBaza's Free tier.

Binance

  1. Log in at binance.com → hover your profile icon → Account → API Management.
  2. Click Create API, choose System generated, give it a label (e.g. "CryptoBaza"), and confirm with 2FA / email / SMS.
  3. On the new key, click Edit restrictions.
  4. Keep only Enable Reading ticked. Make sure Enable Spot & Margin Trading and Enable Withdrawals are OFF.
  5. Save. Copy the API Key and Secret Key (the secret is shown once) into CryptoBaza.

Bybit

  1. Log in at bybit.com → hover your profile → API.
  2. Click Create New Key → choose System-generated API Keys.
  3. For API key usage, select Read-Only.
  4. Under permissions, tick read scopes for Wallet / Assets / Positions / Spot. Leave Trade and Withdraw unticked.
  5. Confirm with 2FA. Copy the API Key and API Secret into CryptoBaza.

Bitget — requires a passphrase

  1. Log in at bitget.com → profile → API Management → Create API → System-generated.
  2. Set a Passphrase (you choose it — you'll also enter it in CryptoBaza).
  3. Set permissions to Read-only. Do not enable Trade or Withdraw.
  4. Confirm with 2FA. Copy the API Key, Secret Key, and Passphrase into CryptoBaza.

OKX — requires a passphrase

  1. Log in at okx.com → profile → API → Create V5 API Key.
  2. Give it a name and set a Passphrase (you choose it — also entered in CryptoBaza).
  3. Set Permissions to Read only. Leave Trade and Withdraw off.
  4. Confirm with 2FA. Copy the API Key, Secret Key, and Passphrase into CryptoBaza.
    Note: EEA-region accounts use eea.okx.com; CryptoBaza detects this automatically.

BingX

  1. Log in at bingx.com → profile → API Management.
  2. Click Create API and label it.
  3. Select Read-only permissions (spot/asset reading). Do not enable trading or withdrawals.
  4. Confirm with verification. Copy the API Key and Secret Key into CryptoBaza.

Coinbase

Coinbase uses the Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) for API keys.

  1. Go to portal.cdp.coinbase.com (Coinbase Developer Platform) and sign in with your Coinbase account.
  2. Open API Keys → Create API key.
  3. Grant view / read access only — no trade or transfer scopes.
  4. Download/copy the generated key. Coinbase keys are an API key name plus a private key (CryptoBaza supports the CDP ES256 key format as well as legacy HMAC keys).
  5. Paste the credentials into CryptoBaza.
After connecting: balances sync automatically. If a connection fails, double-check you copied the secret correctly (no leading/trailing spaces) and that the key has reading enabled.
