8. Edit the API restrictions
Click on "Modify":
Enable needed permissions:
Note
These permissions will allow to create all 4 types of Binance accounts: Binance Spot, Binance Cross Margin, Binance USDT-M Futures, and Binance COIN-M Futures. For the API connection to work correctly, we recommend you enable all permissions, as per the screenshot above.
If you need to connect only one specific account, you need to create new API keys with the specified permission and connect it as a new connection. While creating a new connection you will need to choose that specific type of exchange from the suggested list on 3Commas:
Enable "Restrict access to trusted IPs only" and enter the IP whitelisted addresses.
Just go to this page, open the "Connect with API keys" tab, and copy the IP addresses:
Paste the IP addresses into the dedicated box on the Binance website and click on the "Confirm" button:
9. Click on the "Save" button and enter the 2FA code.
