Binance Futures integration in Cryptorobotics

To create API key on Binance Futures you need to have a verified account on https://www.binance.com/en/.

To create an account please use the button Register and go through the registration.

Step 1. Before proceeding with the integration of the API key, you must pass verification on the exchange. If you have not previously passed verification on the exchange, go to the Identification tab.

The title line contains a link to detailed instructions on how to pass through this procedure. You can watch the video or read the text instructions. There are several levels of verification, we need ‘Verified’ option or ‘Verified plus’.

Selection of verification level on crypto echange

In order to pass the verification, you will need to upload a photo of the valid government issued document, a selfie, and also go through the step with face recognition. After uploading all this data, the exchange will take several days to verify your identity.

Only after that you will be able to correctly integrate your API key to the Cryptorobotics terminal.

Step 2. If you have already activated futures on your account, you can proceed to Step 3. If you have never traded futures on Binance before, you need to activate them first. Go to Derivatives -> USD-M Futures.

After that, you will need to take a short quiz in order to activate futures on your account. Click Start Quiz and try to answer all the questions correctly.

Step 3. After you’ve successfully taken the quiz and activated futures, find the Account button and select the API Management line.

Attention! Due to the Binance API update, the exchange has restricted the creation of API keys that do not have a list of trusted IP addresses. For this reason, we offer 2 ways to generate API keys for trading on the platform:

with a list of trusted ip-addresses;
without a list of trusted ip addresses.

Creating a key with a list of trusted ip addresses

To create a key, click on the Create API button.

Then please add a name of a new key and then press the Create button.

Now you need to pass verification by your account e-mail and 2F.

After you click the Submit button, your API key will be generated automatically.

Copy the API key, secret key and/or QR code to a secure folder.

ATTENTION! The secret key will only be shown once. To use it later, save it in a safe folder.

Click Edit restrictions button in the upper right corner of the block.

In the IP Access Restrictions field, select the Restrict access to trusted IPs only option.

Next, you will need to enter a list of platform ip addresses in the field below. You can find the current list of addresses in the terminal in the Exchange accounts section by clicking on the Open IP list button.

After that, you need to select the option of a list of addresses separated by spaces and click on the Copy button.

IMPORTANT! We kindly ask you to update the list of ip addresses of the platform on the exchange as necessary to maintain the functionality of the API keys. The date of the last update of the list can be seen in the Exchange accounts section.

Within 24 hours after updating the list, you will see a blinking ! icon, indicating a recent update.

After that, you need to return to the exchange, enter the copied list of addresses in the appropriate field and click Confirm.

The API keys of a crypto exchange provide various possibilities, depending on the parameters set. Let’s look at the key parameters using Binance as an example:

Enable reading — this parameter allows third-party applications to read trade data.
Enable Margin Loan, Repay & Transfer — this parameter allows you to take a margin loan on Binance via a third-party application.
Enable spot and margin trading — this option allows you to conduct spot and margin trades on Binance through a third-party application.
Enable Futures — this option allows you to execute Binance futures trades through a third-party application.
Enable symbol whitelist — this option allows you to execute trades only on specific trading pairs on Binance through a third-party application.
Enable withdrawals — this option allows you to withdraw funds from your Binance account via a third-party application.
Enable universal transfers — this option allows you to transfer funds from your Binance account via a third-party application.

After adding the list of ip addresses, you can start editing the key restrictions. Check the Enable spot and margin trading and Enable futures boxes.

They are enough to trade on Binance via the Cryptorobotics platform.

ATTENTION! Do not choose the Enable withdrawals option under any circumstances.

Click Save.

Creating a key without a list of trusted ip addresses

In order to create an API key without a list of trusted addresses, you need to uncheck the checkbox for managing account security in the API key settings.

Then you will be able to add a name of a new key and then press the button Create.

Now you need to pass verification by your account e-mail and 2F.

After you press the button Submit, your API key will be created automatically.

Save the API key, secret key and / or QR code in a safe folder.

ATTENTION! The secret key will be shown only once. To use it further please save it in the safe folder.

Then change the parameters of the key. In order to do this, click «Edit restrictions». We need to Enable spot and margin trading and Enable futures.

In the IP access restrictions field, choose the Unrestricted option. This means that the generated key will be valid for 3 months, after which you will need to create a new key. In this case, you do not need to list the IP addresses of the platform.
