How to Replace an IP whitelist on a live API key
This process describes how to set a new IP whitelist on an API key connected to Altrady.
The most important step is to EDIT your existing trading account in Altrady. Click Edit or RESOLVE, to edit the existing trading account.
DO NOT CREATE A NEW TRADING ACCOUNT, otherwise all data linked to your current trading account will be lost (positions, orders, trades, bots).
The general process is the same for all exchanges.
However, if you are not sure how to access the API key on your exchange, please refer to our documentation on how to add an API key by searching for your exchange at the top of the Support page, and navigate to the API keys page on the exchange. Then follow the process outlined here.
In most cases, it will be possible to EDIT the existing API key on the exchange to update the IP whitelist.
If the exchange does not allow API keys to be edited, then a new API key will need to be created. Jump to Step 9 below.
Additionally, where third-party login has been used (optional for Kucoin and Bybit), a new API key will need to be created. Follow from Step 9.
Log into Altrady and navigate to Settings>Exchange Account API keys.
In V4.6, Trading Accounts with an invalid IP whitelist will be highlighted with Resolve next to them. In earlier versions, the API key will be disabled, and the option to Edit the key is shown.
For this example the Binance API key is used. The process is very similar on all exchanges.
Note the API key.
