Creating an API Key and Secret to access your 3Commas account programmatically

If you want to write your own apps or scripts to access your 3Commas account via our API interface, you've found the right guide!

The process is incredibly simple; head to the API Settings page.

Enable 2FA

If you haven't enabled 2FA, you'll be prompted to do so before you can create a 3Commas API key, please complete this step, if you haven't already!

Now proceed with creating the new API key:

Click "New API access token"
Enter a descriptive name so you can remember later what this key is for!
Choose the permissions this key should have to your 3Commas account
Click "Create"
Copy and paste the API key and Secret to your favourite coding IDE or 3rd Party App
