  2. Log in with your registered email and password.

Step 2: Access API Management

  1. Once logged in, click on your profile icon in the top-right corner.

  2. Select API Management from the dropdown menu.

Step 3: Create a New API Key

  1. Click on the Add API Key button.

  2. Enter a name for your API key (e.g., “ReadOnlyKey”).

Step 4: Set API Permissions

  1. Select the Read-Only permission to ensure data access only.

  2. Optionally, set IP restrictions to limit which IP addresses can use the API key.

Step 5: Complete Security Verification

  1. Follow the prompts for security verification, which may include:

    • Entering an email verification code.

    • Providing a 2FA code from your authenticator app.

Step 6: Save Your API Key Pair

Step 7: Test Your API Key (Optional)

  2. Use tools like Postman to test the key.

    • For example, use the GET /user/account endpoint to confirm that the API key retrieves data as expected.
