API Keys

API keys allow you to securely interact with the exchange and its smart contracts, automate trading, and connect third-party tools.

Key Features

• Up to 10 API Keys:

  • Each user can have a maximum of 10 active API keys at any time.

• Expiry Policy:

  • You can have up to 9 API keys without expiry (permanent keys).
  • The frontend typically creates API keys that are valid for one day (24 hours) for added security.

• Required for Smart Contracts:

  • An API key is required to interact with the exchange's smart contracts, including trading, transfers, and automation.

• Automatic Rotation:

  • If you already have 10 API keys and create a new one, the oldest key will be automatically deleted (rotated out) to make room for the new key.

How to Use API Keys

1. Create an API Key:
   • Generate a new key from your account dashboard or via the API.
   • Choose whether the key should expire (e.g., 1 day) or be permanent.
2. Store Securely:
   • Copy and store your API key securely. You will not be able to view it again.
3. Use for Automation:
   • Use your API key to authenticate requests to the exchange, automate trading, or connect to third-party tools.
4. Manage & Rotate:
   • View, revoke, or rotate your keys at any time from your dashboard.
   • If you reach the 10-key limit, creating a new key will remove the oldest one.

Best Practices

• Use short-lived keys for automation and integrations whenever possible.
• Revoke unused keys to keep your account secure.
• Never share your API keys with untrusted parties.

Summary

• Up to 10 API keys per user
• 9 permanent keys max; frontend usually creates 1-day keys
• API key required for all smart contract interactions
• Oldest key is rotated out if you exceed the limit
