Generate API Key

Different cryptocurrency exchanges have different procedures for obtaining API keys

XAPY emphasizes two critical points when obtaining API keys: the permissions granted to the API key and the IP address of XAPY’s servers to be whitelisted.

1. Read and Trade Permissions

This permission allows the API to execute trades without performing fund transfers. If you grant only these permissions, XAPY’s automated fund transfer feature will not function. In this case, you must manually execute transfers through exchange applications when market conditions change to avoid position liquidation and maintain your positions for as long as possible.

1. Read-Write Permissions

This permission enables XAPY’s automatic position rebalancing feature (automated fund transfers). This grants you greater security and autonomy in account rebalancing

1. Important Considerations

When granting Read-Write permissions to your API key set, you must first complete the cross-exchange address whitelisting procedure described (-> view here ). Only whitelist the IP addresses of XAPY’s servers to ensure maximum security.

• Always store API keys in a secure location

• Only whitelist IP addresses from XAPY’s provided server list
