Create a Binance API key

A key that can trade but can NEVER withdraw. Takes about 3 minutes.

Before you start

  • Use a sub-account with only the money you want the bot to trade (recommended).
  • To practise first, create a test key and choose “Testnet” when you add it. Spot: testnet.binance.vision. Futures: Binance Demo Trading (demo.binance.com → API Management) — the old futures testnet was retired.

Steps

  1. 1Log in to Binance and open Profile → API Management.
  2. 2Create API → “System generated”. Give it a name, e.g. “AI Trade Bot”, and confirm with your security check.
  3. 3Click Edit restrictions. Turn ON “Enable Spot & Margin Trading”. For futures bots also turn ON “Enable Futures”.
  4. 4Make sure “Enable Withdrawals” and “Permits Universal Transfer” stay OFF.
  5. 5Save. Copy the API Key and the Secret Key — Binance shows the secret only once.
  6. 6In the app: API keys → Add key → Binance, paste both, choose Testnet or Live, and save.
Binance → Edit restrictions
  • Enable Readingon
  • Enable Spot & Margin Tradingon
  • Enable Futures (futures bots only)on
  • Enable Withdrawalsoff
  • Permits Universal Transferoff
  • Enable Margin Loan, Repay & Transferoff

If the key is rejected

  • “This key can withdraw funds” — turn off withdrawals on the key (or make a new one).
  • “This key cannot trade” — enable spot trading (and futures for futures bots).
  • We check your keys again every day. A key that later gains withdrawal rights is disabled and its bots stop.

Important: Never share your secret key with anyone — our team will never ask for it.
