Connect Binance with a read-only API Key

TickPro currently connects to Binance with an API Key and Secret Key. Binance OAuth is not available in TickPro yet.

Before you begin

Section titled “Before you begin”

Binance’s official guide says your account may need:

  • Identity verification
  • Two-factor authentication or a passkey
  • Any deposit in the Spot Wallet to activate API creation

Availability varies by country and account entity.

1. Open API Management

Section titled “1. Open API Management”

Sign in on the Binance website, open the profile menu, then go to Account → API Management → Create API.

2. Choose the key type

Section titled “2. Choose the key type”

Select System generated. This is the HMAC key type that gives you both an API Key and a Secret Key.

Do not choose a self-generated Ed25519 or RSA key for TickPro.

Give the key a name such as TickPro, then complete Binance’s security verification.

If validation fails

Section titled “If validation fails”
  • Recopy the matching API Key and Secret Key.

  • Confirm Enable Reading is on and all write permissions are off.
  • Remove an incorrect IP restriction.
