KuCoin API Setup
Last updated November 3, 2024
To connect your Coinrule account to KuCoin , you will need to create an API Key that will allow you to create an automated trading bot on KuCoin.
1. First, you will need to sign in or create an account with KuCoin. You will also need to set up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Once signed in and on the homepage, hover over the profile icon on the top right of the page and select “API Management” from the drop-down menu.

2. Next, select “Create API” with “Spot/Margin API” selected. Then name your API and create an API Passphrase.
Once you’ve named your API, set and remembered the Passphrase, enable the “Trade” permission.
For additional security, we recommend you select IP restrictions and add your trusted IP addresses. Coinrule will never request to transfer your exchange funds so do not enable API “Transfer”.

3. Follow the security verification instructions and once completed you will then be provided with your API Key and API Secret Key.
Finally, you have to copy/paste both your PassPhrase, API Key and API Secret Key in the Exchanges section of your Coinrule account with KuCoin selected.

Once connected you will be able to automate your KuCoin trades using Coinrule! Trade safely!
Important note: KuCoin recently changed their API policy and wallets that do not have IPs whitelisted need to be renewed every month. This is temporary and we will create an IP whitelisting process for Kucoin users soon.
