How to Get API Keys for Binance

1. Create and Verify Your Binance Account

Visit Binance.
Register or log in.
Complete Identity Verification (KYC) to enable API trading.

2. Enable Futures Trading

Before you create API keys, make sure your account has Futures activated.

Log in to Binance.
Go to Derivatives → USDS-M Futures.
If prompted, open a Futures account (takes a few clicks).

3. Go to the API Management Page

Hover over your profile icon (top right).
Click API Management.

Or go directly to: https://www.binance.com/en/my/settings/api-management

4. Create a New API Key

Enter a label for your API key, e.g.:
Click Create API.

5. Security Verification

Binance will prompt you for:
- Email verification code
- SMS code
- Possibly Google Authenticator code

Enter the codes to proceed.

6. Copy API Key and API Secret

After verification:
- Binance shows you:
  - API Key (visible)
  - Secret Key (visible only once)

→ Copy and save your Secret Key in a safe place immediately. You won’t see it again after leaving the page.

7. Set API Permissions

Under your newly created API key:

✅ Check these permissions:

Enable Reading
Enable Futures
❌ Do NOT enable “Enable Withdrawals”.

8. Save Changes

Click Save after setting permissions.
Binance might ask for another security verification.

9. Plug Into Elite Trading Bot

Navigate to Manage Key section
Click on Add New button
Fill the form with the details and click Save API Key

Final Security Checklist

✅ Store secrets in environment variables or secure vaults — never hardcode.
✅ Rotate keys periodically.

✅ Immediately delete keys you no longer use.

That’s it! You’re ready to setup the bot to auto trade on Binance Futures.
