Please, watch our video tutorial or follow the steps below:
Here is the tutorial in words:
1. Go to Gate.io
Log in or create a new account at https://www.gate.io/.
2. Open the API Management page
Hover over the profile icon on the top right corner and go to the API Management page:
3. Click on the Create API Key button
4. Name your API keys
When you have multiple APIs, a proper name helps to manage it.
5. Add IP whitelist
Enable Bind IP and input these IP addresses at once, separated by the comma:
18.169.144.64,18.132.227.58,18.134.1.36,3.11.140.123,18.168.115.185
6. Choose API v4 Key and a Classic Account type
7. Select Permissions
Please select the following permissions:
[Spot/Margin Trade] -> [Read And Write] - it allows trading Spot and Margin on 3Commas.
[Perpetual Contract] -> [Read And Write] - this will allow trading Futures.
If you have an existing API Key without this enabled and you want to trade Futures, you must edit this API key or create a new key with the feature enabled before you can trade futures. Your Gate.io Contract Account must have USDT to trade USDT-Perpetual Futures or BTC to trade BTC-Perpetual futures.[Wallet] -> [Read And Write] - this is necessary to display the balances correctly.
And click on the Submit button.
8. Carefully read the Risk Reminder, tick both paragraphs, and click I Accept
9. Enter Fund Password, choose 2FA Authentication method and enter its code
10. There you go! Now you have created API keys for your Gate.io exchange!
