Binance API Setup Guide

This guide explains how to create and configure Binance API keys for use with NOFX.

Create API Key

1. Log in to your Binance account
2. Go to Account → API Management
3. Click Create API
4. Select System Generated API key type
5. Complete 2FA verification
6. Name your API key (e.g., "NOFX Trading")

Configure API Permissions

Enable the following permissions:

• ✅ Enable Reading - Required
• ✅ Enable Futures - Required for trading
• ❌ Enable Withdrawals - Keep disabled for security

IP Whitelist (Recommended)

For enhanced security:

1. Click Edit restrictions
2. Select Restrict access to trusted IPs only
3. Add your server's IP address
4. Save changes

Save Your Keys

After creation, you'll see:

• API Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
• Secret Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

⚠️ Important: Save the Secret Key immediately - it's only shown once!

Configure in NOFX

Add your API credentials through the NOFX web interface:

1. Open NOFX dashboard (http://localhost:3000)
2. Go to Exchange Configuration
3. Enable Binance
4. Enter your API Key and Secret Key
5. Save configuration

Troubleshooting

Error	Solution
Invalid API-key	Check if API key is correct
Signature verification failed	Check if Secret key is correct
IP not whitelisted	Add your IP to whitelist or disable IP restriction
Futures not enabled	Enable Futures permission in API settings

Security Best Practices

• Never share your API keys
• Use IP whitelisting
• Don't enable withdrawal permissions
• Create separate API keys for different applications
• Regularly rotate your API keys
