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
