What is an API key?
An API key or application programming interface key is a code that gets passed in by computer applications. The program or application then calls the API or application programming interface to identify its user, developer or calling program to a website.
Why do I need an API key?
The API Key will allow a fast and secure connection between the WunderTrading platform and the exchange of your choice, in order to make orders/trades from the WunderTrading platform.
When you create the API key on any exchange, please make sure that you provide TRADING access and DISABLE the withdrawal option. This will restrict any third party to withdraw your funds from the exchange through the API keys.
One API for all markets
When you connect an API key to WunderTrading, the system will load both of your wallets, Futures and Spot. The only exceptions are exchanges, where you need to generate different API keys for different markets.
How to create an API on your exchange?
Important!
When you will be creating API Key on any exchange and you will see the option to link IP addresses, we suggest you to check if we have whitelisted IP addresses for your exchange on our platform.
You can see them on WunderTrading > My Exchanges > Add exchange > Select your exchange > Right side of the screen.
