How to replace the IP whitelist on your Kucoin Spot and Futures API keys


  1. Log in to Altrady and navigate to Settings>Exchange API keys browser link.
  2. Log in to Kucoin here
  3. Navigate to Kucoin API page quick link
  4. Follow the directions in one of the videos below.
  • For regular API keys, see Video 1.
  • If your API Key is a Fast Connect key, or was created using the Third Party method, see Video 2.
  1. Repeat for subaccounts (select the subaccount from the main menu, then API Management)


For users of The Plan, updating the IP whitelist will not work via the old Altrady version for The Plan. Please upgrade to the latest version, or use "Swap to Altrady".

Frequently Asked Questions (all exchanges)

My spot and futures accounts use the same API key. What should I do?

This is described in the videos.

Update the IP whitelist for the first account as shown in the video for the exchange.

Note the first few IP addresses of the new whitelist.

Edit the second trading account in Altrady and click the Refresh button until the IP whitelist matches.

Then click Update to fix the new whitelist to the second trading account.


Should I ever delete my Trading Account in Altrady?

**Only in rare circumstances. **Your trading account includes all of the history for the exchange account (trades, balances, orders, positions); if it is deleted or replaced, all of that data is lost and cannot be recovered.

If you need to create a new API key for any reason, always Edit the existing Altrady trading Account and replace the API key/secret pair with the new credentials.
