Getting API Keys for OKX

Important: when creating a key, the system will send a confirmation code to your phone and email.

Main Account

1. Log in to your OKX account

2. Go to profile menu → "API" section

3. Click "Create API Key"

Configuring Parameters

Fill in the following fields:

• Name: enter a meaningful name (for example, "MoonTrader")

• Purpose: Trade API

• Permissions: Read and Trade

• Passphrase: create a unique password for the key

Configuring IP Whitelist (Recommended)

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. In the "IP whitelist" field, add the static IP of your server

2. If using Watchdog on a separate server — also add its IP

Confirmation and Saving

1. Confirm creation with codes from SMS and email

2. Save the API Key, Secret, and Passphrase — they are displayed only once

Creating Keys for Subaccounts

1. Complete all key creation steps described above

2. In the "Account" field, select the required subaccount instead of the main account

3. Configure the key parameters similarly to the main account
