How To Create OKX API Keys
In this article, we’ll show you how to generate OKX API keys with the correct permissions to connect to your Lighthouse crypto trading bots safely and securely.
Step 1: After logging in, navigate to the Lighthouse 'Exchange Accounts' page and select “Add Account”
Step 2: From the list of exchange connections select OKX
Step 3: Open OKX and hover over the “Profile” icon
Step 4: Select “API” from the drop-down menu
Step 5: Select “Create API key”
Step 6: Configure API permissions, choose a name, and create a passphrase
Select API trading and give your API a name. You should also choose a passphrase for your API. This will be used later when you want to access its settings or see your keys, so make sure to keep it safe.
Finally, select the correct permissions. Be sure to mark “Trade”. This will grant Lighthouse trading permissions, however, it will not allow withdrawals if a 3rd party gains access to your API keys, keeping your funds safe.
When you’ve filled everything out, click “Confirm”.
You will then be prompted to complete your two-factor authentication.
Step 7: Complete your two-factor authentication process
Step 8: Copy your new API keys and click “Confirm”
Step 9: On Lighthouse Quant, paste in your public key, secret key, and type in your passphrase
Step 10: Click “Add Account” and you’re done!
Your OKX crypto exchange API keys will now be stored permanently in your Lighthouse Quant account until you decide to update or remove them.
For the foreseeable future, any bots you set up to trade on OKX will require no additional API key configuration.
Note: Crypto exchange terms and conditions are subject to change. In the future, you may be required to revisit your Lighthouse bot configuration and perform updates.
Congratulations!
You’ve successfully generated your OKX API keys and connected Lighthouse Quant to your OKX account.
