# Connect API

After completing account registration on XAPY, you can now connect crypto exchanges to XAPY using the API key obtained previously. You can review how to get API Keys on the exchanges[ -> here](/integration/generate-api-key.md)

1. Access the Profile/Settings section

4. Click "Save Keys" and you have successfully connected the exchange to XAPY.
5. API Key Management.

* \[**Button UPDATE**] You can change (update) previously connected API keys (if you have changed the API keys on the exchange side).
* \[**Button Enable**] You can disconnect from exchanges if you do not want to connect them to XAPY (in case that exchange <mark style="color:red;">still has open positions</mark>, you will not be able to disconnect until all positions on that exchange are <mark style="color:green;">completely closed</mark>).
* \[**Button REMOVE**] Similar to the Enable button, when you want to delete an API key, please close all positions related to that exchange (for exchanges that are hedging). At this point, the exchange has been completely removed from the XAPY platform.
