Before You Start

DerivCC only needs read permissions.

Leave trade, withdrawal, transfer, and account-management scopes off. If an exchange screen asks for write access, do not enable it for DerivCC.

Step-by-Step Setup

1Log in to Binance in a web browser. If you use Binance.US, open the account dropdown and select API Management.
2Create a new API key, choose a system-generated key if prompted, and give it a label such as DerivCC read only.
3Complete email confirmation and two-factor authentication.
4Keep Enable Reading on. Leave Spot and Margin Trading, Futures Trading, withdrawals, transfers, and any write permissions off unless you understand the risk.
5Use trusted-IP restrictions when possible. Binance also recommends IP allowlisting as a security best practice for API keys.
6Copy the API key and secret while they are shown. Store them carefully and revoke the key from Binance immediately if it is exposed.

After creating the key, add it inside DerivCC under Settings, API Keys. Public market data still works without an exchange key.
