How to Create Gate.io API Keys & Connect to Dash 2 Trade
In this guide, weâll explain how to safely and securely generate Gate.io API keys and configure API permissions. You will also learn how to connect your Dash 2 Trade account to your Gate.io account and start trading with our crypto bots.
The whole process takes about 5 minutes.
Important: Before you start you will need to create a Fund Password. This is a separate, second password on Gate.io used for things like withdrawals. Follow the instructions in this guide on setting up your Gate.io Fund Password.
Once youâve set that up, continue with this guide. Here we go!
Step 1: Open âTrading Botsâ on the Dash 2 Trade app and select âAdd Connectionâ
Step 2: From the list of exchanges, find Gate.io and click â+ Add keysâ
Step 3: Copy Dash 2 Trade IP addresses to the clipboard
Step 4: Open Gate.io and click on the âProfileâ icon
Step 5: Click the âSub-accounts & APIsâ dropdown in the navbar on the left
Step 6: Select âAPI Managementâ
Step 7: Click âCreate API keyâ
Step 8: Give the API a name, paste in IPs, and configure permissions
The first field is called an âAPI Key Remarkâ. This is simply a name and it can be whatever you like. Try using âDash 2 Tradeâ like we did!
The second field is where you have to paste the Dash 2 Trade API keys you copied earlier. Make sure to select âBind IPâ if itâs not selected by default. This will make sure only Dash 2 Trade IP addresses can access your Gate.io API.
For permissions you need to select âSpot Tradeâ, âWalletâ, and âCommission Detailsâ. These configurations are necessary for Dash 2 Trade bots to trade without issue. Enable âRead And Writeâ on all three.
Important: Do not enable any other permissions. We donât need them and they may pose a security risk in the unlikely event that your keys are compromised.
When youâre done click âSubmitâ to generate your keys. You may be prompted to complete verification and this is where you will have to use your Fund Password.
Step 9: Copy your new Gate.io API keys and paste them into Dash 2 Trade
Copy the newly generated Gate.io API keys to your clipboard and then paste them on Dash 2 Trade, one by one.
Important: In addition to copying, write down your keys on paper or store them on a device thatâs not connected to the internet. Protect them and use them only for Dash 2 Trade â their intended use â never share them with anyone else.
When youâre done you can click âSave Keysâ.
Congratulations!
Youâve successfully generated your Gate.io API keys and connected Dash 2 Trade to your Gate.io account.
