Creating Your V3 KuCoin API Key
Step 1: Click on your profile avatar and select “API Management.”
Step 2: Verify the version of your current API key. If it’s v2, you’ll need to create a new v3 API key.
Step 3: Click the “Create API” button to start the process and fill in the required details. For enhanced security, consider restricting IP addresses to Alpha Impact servers (52.220.91.198, 13.312.195.58).
Step 4: Once you’ve entered all information, click “Confirm.” Take note of your new API details and store them in a secure location.
Step 5: You can choose between deleting your old v2 API key or letting it expire naturally.
Creating Your V3 KuCoin API Key
Step 1: Head to the “Linked Portfolio” section in your left menu and locate your KuCoin portfolio.
Step 2: Go into your portfolio and hit the three dots in the top right corner. Choose “Edit Details.”
Step 3: In the popup, select “Update”, enter your new KuCoin API key credentials, then click “Apply”.
Note: If you don’t see the “Update” button, refresh your app. Here’s how: Windows: Ctrl+F5 | Mac: Command+R | Mobile: Swipe down, hold 3s, then let go
Step 4: Finalise the update by clicking “Save.”
Step 5: Confirm API connection by checking if TWR updates every minute.
