How to connect Binance Futures API

The current app connects Binance as a futures-only API account. That means the API key, secret, and environment all need to line up with a futures-enabled Binance setup before the account will behave correctly in DaneTrades.

Common Questions

Binance Futures API FAQ

These are the setup questions that most often block a Binance Futures connection in DaneTrades.

Do I need Futures permission enabled on the Binance API key?

Yes. The current Binance connection is futures-focused, so the API key needs the Binance futures permission enabled before the account will behave correctly in DaneTrades.

Should I use Mainnet, Demo, or Testnet for Binance in the app?

Use the environment that matches the API key you created. If the key and environment do not match, authentication or account behavior can fail even when the pasted credentials look correct.

Can IP restriction break the Binance connection?

Yes. If IP restriction is enabled on the key, the machine running the local runtime must be allowed. Otherwise the connection can fail even with the right key and secret.

What you need first

A Binance account that can use futures trading.
An API key and API secret created in Binance API Management.
Futures permission enabled on that key.
The correct environment selected in the app, such as Mainnet, Demo, or Testnet.

Basic steps

Open Binance and create or review the API key you want to use.
Enable the futures permission on the key.
Open Trading Accounts and add a new Binance Futures account.
Paste the API key and API secret.
Choose the correct environment.
Connect and confirm the account appears correctly in the app.

Most common blockers

Futures permission is missing on the key.
The selected environment does not match the key you created.
The key or secret was copied with an error.
IP restriction is enabled but the machine running the local runtime is not allowed.
