• This section allows you to create, manage, and configure your API keys for different purposes.

• In the API Management page, click Create API.

• If you already have existing API keys, the button and input fields may appear in different locations on the page.

• Binance allows you to auto-generate your API keys, which is the recommended option for most users.

• Advanced users can choose to create their own API keys through external software, but this is optional.

• Use IP restriction to allow access only from trusted devices or servers.

• Do not enable withdrawal permissions unless absolutely necessary — this is a major security risk.

• Always store your keys in a secure password manager.
