Troubleshooting​

Common Issues:​

  • "Invalid API Key": Double-check that you copied the complete API key without extra spaces
  • "Invalid Secret Key": If you didn't copy the Secret Key during creation, you'll need to delete and recreate the API key
  • "IP not allowed": Ensure you've added the correct IP addresses in Binance API restrictions
  • "Insufficient permissions": Verify that "Spot & Margin Trading" is enabled in your API settings
  • "Trading not allowed": IP restrictions must be configured BEFORE enabling trading permissions
  • "Lost Secret Key": If you lose the Secret Key, you must delete the API key and create a new one
  • Connection timeout: Check your internet connection and try again

Security Best Practices:​

  • Never share your API credentials with anyone
  • Regularly rotate your API keys
  • Monitor your API usage in Binance for any suspicious activity
  • Keep withdrawals disabled unless absolutely necessary
