Binance — read-only API key
A system-generated key with "Can Read" enabled and trading left off. You create the key on binance.com; it takes a couple of minutes.
- You will end up with
- API key · Secret key
Log in to binance.com.
Go to Account, then API Management.
Click Create API and select System Generated.
Enter a label — for example "preuval".
Complete the security verification.
Under API restrictions, select Can Read only.
Warning: Do not enable Enable Spot & Margin Trading or Enable Futures. Preuval only ever reads; a key that can trade is a risk you do not need to take.
Under IP access restrictions, select Unrestricted.
Copy the API key and secret key.
Warning: The secret is displayed once and never again. Copy it before closing the dialog — if you lose it you have to delete the key and start over.
In Preuval: select Binance, set the environment to Production, and paste the key and secret. Binance does not use a passphrase.
Save the credentials somewhere safe
Copy each value into a password manager as the exchange shows it. Secrets are displayed once, and a half-copied secret fails authentication in a way that looks identical to a wrong one. Preuval never writes your keys to disk — they are used for the run and discarded.
