Step 2: Enable 2-Factor AuthenticationCopied!

Log in to your dashboard and navigate to “Settings > Security” and follow the steps to enable 2-Factor Authentication with your preferred Authenticator app. For more details, see the Guide on 2-Factor Authentication.

Step 2: Generate API credentialsCopied!

This creates the following values for your usage: encoded base64 authorization token, an API key, and a Secret key.

A pop-up window displays your API key. Immediately copy and securely store the secret key; it will not be redisplayed.

Store your API keys securely and never share them. Don't commit these credentials to version control systems.

Test your setup by fetching your wallet balances:
