Connect OKX with a read-only API Key

Use this guide when you want to connect OKX manually. If TickPro offers OKX OAuth for your account, that is the simpler option: you sign in on the official OKX page and do not copy an API Key.

1Create the key in OKX

2Keep Read enabled only

→

3Paste three values into TickPro

Use read-only permissions

Enable Read only. Leave Trade, Withdraw, Transfer, Loan, Earn, and every other write permission disabled. TickPro is a viewer and never needs authority to place orders or move funds.

1. Open OKX API management

• Website: Sign in → profile menu → API and connections → Create API key.
• OKX app: Sign in → Menu → API → Create API key.

The exact labels can vary by region. OKX may require identity verification, security settings, or a minimum account balance before showing the create button.

Open API under your OKX profile, then select Create API key. This screenshot comes from OKX's official API tutorial; the interface may vary by region.OKX official tutorial ↗

2. Fill in the key settings

OKX field	Use this setting
API key name	TickPro
Account	The main account or sub-account you want to view
Purpose / Used for	Personal API access
IP allowlist	Only enter an address that TickPro explicitly shows
Passphrase	Create a new API passphrase and keep it safe
Permissions	Read only

About the IP allowlist

The API request is made by the TickPro server, not by your iPhone or home Wi-Fi. Add an IP only when TickPro shows one for this field; otherwise an incorrect allowlist will block the connection.

3. Copy all three values

After security verification, OKX shows API Key, Secret Key, and Passphrase.

Save all three values before closing OKX. The values shown here are masked examples, not working credentials.OKX credential reference ↗

Where each OKX value goes

OKX API Key→TickPro API Key

OKX Secret Key→TickPro Secret Key

OKX Passphrase→TickPro Passphrase

Do not share the secret

The Secret Key and Passphrase are credentials. Do not send them in chat, email, screenshots, or support messages. A forgotten Passphrase cannot be recovered; create a new key instead.

4. Connect in TickPro

1. Open TickPro → Settings → OKX.
2. Tap Add account and select API Key.
3. Paste the API Key, Secret Key, and Passphrase.
4. Tap Validate API Key.
5. When the connection succeeds, tap Save and connect.

TickPro uses the key to read supported balances, spot and derivatives positions, orders, and fills. It does not provide trading, transfer, or withdrawal actions.

Common problems

Message or symptom	What to check
Invalid passphrase / 50105	Use the API Passphrase, not your OKX login password
IP restriction / 50110	Remove an incorrect allowlist or use the server IP shown by TickPro
Invalid API Key / 50111	Recopy the full key and confirm it still exists
Invalid signature / 50113	Recopy the Secret Key without extra spaces
Region mismatch / 50119	Create the key in the OKX entity that serves your account region
Key cannot be created	Complete OKX security checks and review any regional balance requirement

Revoke access later

Open OKX → API / API and connections, find the TickPro key, and delete it. You can also remove the connected account in TickPro.
