# How to create an API-key?

**Pay attention:**

{% hint style="warning" %}

* The API key management is not supported by the Binance mobile app or by the mobile version of the Binance website.\
  **Please use the desktop version of the website to proceed.**
* Stoic will manage **all funds available** in your Spot balance. Thus, if you don't want to get some of your funds sold by Stoic when it will form a top 30 altcoins portfolio, it is recommended to use a separate Binance account or a Binance sub-account.
  {% endhint %}

1\. Open the Binance website and log in using your credentials. Tap on the **\[Profile tab]** in the top right corner of the screen:

3\. You will be asked to **give the API key a label**.\
We suggest giving it a name that will help you immediately recognize this API key e.g. "Stoic API ke&#x79;**"**.

4\. You will need to confirm creating the API via inputting codes Binance sends to ensure the action.

5\. You should **save the** **Secret Key somewhere safe.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
Pay attention: **The Secret key is displayed only once** after the API was created and **can't be restored**. If you lose this key, you will need to delete this API and set up a new one. **Stoic needs the Secret key to be visible to connect.**
{% endhint %}

6\. Tap on the **\[Edit restrictions]** button:

8\. Congratulations, the API was successfully set up!

9\. Please use the **API key** to connect Stoic to your Binance account, Secret key should be visible.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Your API key is stored in the encrypted storage and the only access that we ask you to provide us is access to create orders on your Binance account – we don't have the right to withdraw funds, thus you are always the only person in control of your funds.
{% endhint %}

## Restrictions for the Binance **Sub-Account** <a href="#h_d9326c73db" id="h_d9326c73db"></a>

If you use Sub-Account, you will be presented with slightly different options in the API key creation menu.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please make sure to select **\[Enable Spot & Margin Trading]** and **\[Unrestricted API access].** Stoic will require only these two functions to manage your Sub-Account.<br>
{% endhint %}
