Connect Binance (API key)
Create a Binance API key with the right permissions — trading on, withdrawals off — and connect it to fastbot.
1 min read·Updated September 16, 2026
Binance lets fastbot read your crypto portfolio and place Spot / Futures orders via API. Your funds stay on Binance.
Create an API key on Binance
- Log in to Binance and go to Account → API Management.
- Create a new API key with a memorable name (for example
fastbot). - Under permissions: enable Spot & Margin Trading (and Futures if you use it). Do NOT enable Withdrawals.
- If Binance offers it, restrict the key by IP for extra safety.
- Save the API Key and Secret Key — the secret is shown only once.
Connect it to fastbot
- In the bot, open ⚙️ Settings.
- Choose to connect Binance and paste the API Key + Secret Key as prompted.
- Open 🟡 Binance → 💰 Account to confirm your balances show correctly.
Notes
- fastbot rejects any API key that has withdrawal permission — this is a deliberate safeguard.
- Leverage and margin type (isolated/cross) for Futures are set directly on Binance; fastbot uses those settings when sizing orders.
