To link a Kucoin account with io.finnet, you’ll need to provide an API key and a secret key. Additionally, you must add io.finnet IPs to the IP whitelist and assign the necessary permissions to the key.

This article explains how to generate an API key on Kucoin, add io.finnet to the IP whitelist, and set the required permissions.

1. Connect to your Kucoin Account

2. Navigate to your Account overview > API Management or navigate directly to this URL

3. Hit the Create API button

4. In the API Name input, enter the name “iofinnetkeys”

5. In the API Passphrase input, enter a custom password. Be sure to note this password, as you will need it later to link your Kucoin account to io.finnet. If you lose this password, you will need to recreate an API key.

6. In the API Restrictions section, select all those permissions:

   • General (by default)
   • Spot Trading
   • Margin Trading
   • KuCoin Earn
   • Futures Trading
   • Withdrawal
   • Allow Flex Transfers

   

7. In the IP Restriction section

   • Select the Yes checkbox

   • Enter those IP addresses, separated with commas:

     99.81.225.185,108.129.83.253

8. Hit the Next button

9. Depending on your Security verification setup, you may need to fill in several security steps:

   • Trading Password: This is set in your security settings and is likely different from your KuCoin account password. If needed, learn how to reset it.
   • A 6-digit code from an Authenticator App, Email, or Phone Number

10. Hit the Confirm button

11. The key will be generated successfully, displaying both an API key and a secret key. If you close this page, you won’t be able to retrieve the secret key later
