# Getting API Keys for Binance

**Important:** before creating keys, verification must be completed and Google Authenticator two-factor authentication must be configured.

### Main Account

1. Log in to your Binance account
2. Go to API management section: "Account" → "API Management"
3. Click "Create API", select key type "System generated"
4. Enter key name (for example, "MoonTrader")
5. Confirm via email and 2FA

### Configuring Access Rights

Set the following permissions:

* "Enable Reading"
* "Enable Futures"
* "Enable Spot & Margin Trading"
* "Enable Internal Transfer"

### Configuring IP Whitelist

When creating API keys, it is recommended to specify a list of allowed IP addresses. Only devices with the specified IPs will be able to use the key — this protects against unauthorized access, even if an attacker obtains your keys.

**Which IPs to specify:**

* the public IP address of the server running the MoonTrader core
* the public IP address of the server with Watchdog monitoring system (if used)

**Configuration:**

1. Enable "Restrict access to trusted IPs only"
2. Add the external static IP of your server with MoonTrader core
3. If using Watchdog on a separate server — also add its IP

### Saving Keys

Save the **Secret Key** — it is displayed only once.

### Creating Keys for Subaccounts

For subaccounts, go to: "Profile" → "Sub-accounts" → "API Management"

1. Click "Create API", select key type "System generated"
2. Select the required subaccount from the list
3. Repeat all key creation steps

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://guide.moontrader.com/en-moontrader-docs/getting-started/working-with-exchanges/getting-api-keys-for-trading/getting-api-keys-for-binance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
