System-generated API keys use HMAC symmetric encryption. You’ll get the API key and the Secret Key.
Self-generated API keys use Ed25519 or RSA asymmetric encryption. You’ll receive an API key, but you have to create your own public-private key pair via third-party software and provide the public key to Binance. For more details on self-generated API keys, please refer to How to Generate an Ed25519 Key Pair to Send API Requests on Binance.
Enter a label/name for your API Key.
Verify your request with 2FA devices and passkeys.
6. Your API key is now created.
We strongly recommend against enabling API keys for permissions other than reading, without defining the appropriate IP access restrictions (“Unrestricted-IP-Access API Key(s)”). Unrestricted-IP-Access HMAC API Key(s) won’t be able to enable any permission other than reading. If you’d like to enable other permissions, please add IP access restrictions, use self-generated keys (such as Ed25519 or RSA), or disable the default security controls.
Adding IP access restrictions is mandatory to enable withdrawal permission.
If the API key is created before you enable your Futures account, or you have activated Portfolio Margin, the API key won’t be able to enable Futures permission.To remain compliant with the latest industry requirements, Binance has updated its API services.

Effective from 2023-01-30 00:00 (UTC), the system-generated API Key’s permission can only be set to [Enable Reading] if your IP is unrestricted.
