This guide provides a step-by-step process on how to create Coinbase Advanced API keys. You will learn to configure the necessary permissions, restrict access to trusted IP addresses, and securely connect your Coinbase Advanced account to Cryptobots.io for automated trading.
Access Coinbase Advanced API Management
To begin creating your Coinbase Advanced API keys, first log in to your exchange account and navigate to the API management section.
Open your preferred web browser and navigate to www.coinbase.com.
Enter your credentials to log in to your Coinbase account.
Once logged in, click on the link below to go directly to API Management:
➡️https://portal.cdp.coinbase.com/access/api
Create and Name Your API Key
After navigating to the API management page, you will create a new API key and assign it a descriptive name.
Click [Create API].
Provide a name or label for the new API key, such as 'Cryptobots'.
Configure API Permissions and IP Restrictions
It is critical to set the correct API permissions and restrict access to trusted IP addresses to ensure the security of your account and the proper functioning of Cryptobots.io.
Before providing the API information to Cryptobots.io, make sure that the correct API permissions are selected.
Allow access to Cryptobots.io IP addresses:
Select "Restrict access to trusted IPs only (recommended)". This action will open a field where you can enter IP addresses.
In the IP address field, please enter the following IP address:
You can just copy + paste: 185.216.70.0/24
Select the necessary permissions that Cryptobots.io needs to function properly.
Permissions:Enable View (Read-only)
Enable Trade (execute trades on your behalf)
Press "Create & download" when done.
Complete Security Verification
To finalize the API key creation, you will need to complete a security verification process, typically involving two-factor authentication.
To complete the security verification process, you'll receive a code via email (after clicking the "send" button).
After that, you'll generate and enter the code from your Google Authenticator app:
Complete 2-factor authentication.
Enter your 2FA code from your authenticator app.
Save and Submit Your API Keys
Once generated, you must securely save your API keys and then submit them to Cryptobots.io.
Make sure to save a JSON file to your computer.
Press save when prompted.
Log in to your Cryptobots.io account and enter your API Key and Secret Key into the designated fields. You can just copy + paste.
