Binance API Keys – Why and How to Get Them
How do I get my Binance API keys?
Follow the step-by-step instructions below, or refer to the external guides linked at the end of this section.
- Login to Binance on your desktop browser.
- Go to your User profile → API Management, or open API Management.
- Press “Create API”.
- Select a name for the API Keys (for example, “RiskPulse Key”) and press Next.
- Complete two-factor authentication.
- You will now see your API Key and Secret Key. Copy and save them securely — you will only see the Secret Key once. We do not store your keys.
Make sure only “Enable Reading” is checked. This ensures the key cannot do anything except read your portfolio.

Why do you need my Binance API Keys?
We use Binance read-only API Keys to import a snapshot of your current portfolio and provide a risk analysis for it.
How do you use my Binance API Keys?
We only use your keys at the beginning of your session to retrieve your portfolio. The keys are not stored on our side and are not used for any other actions. Please save both your API Key and Secret Key for future sessions.
