# Bitfinex

We have a short video to help you quickly set up the connection; by watching it, you will be able to successfully connect to the Bitfinex exchange via the Tiger.com terminal.

{% step %}

### Bitfinex account registration

To get started, go to the Bitfinex website and create an account.

On this screen, the user registers using their email, enters their details, accepts the terms, and clicks **"Sign Up".**

A code will also be sent to your email during registration.

To successfully complete the registration, enter this code into the window that appears.

After registering, log in to your Bitfinex account.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Setting up two-factor authentication

Next, the system warns that two-factor authentication is required. Click **Next.**

Download Google Authenticator if you don't have it. Copy the code or connect to Google Authenticator using the QR code. Click **"I've linked my code".**

Next, enter the six-digit code from Google Authenticator and click **"Paste".**

This completes the two-factor authentication process.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Go to API Keys

After linking Google Authenticator, go to the API key management section.

Click on the account manager in the top right corner and select the API Keys section.

On this screen, you need to go to the **"Create New Key"** section.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create an API key

In the **"Create new key"** section, set the switches as shown in the screenshot below.

<figure><img src="/files/VPaXvlNh7mZTRezqGdif" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Enter the key name and click the **"Generate API Key"** button.

To confirm the API key generation, you need to complete two steps:

1. Enter the two-factor authentication code;
2. Go to your email and confirm the API key creation by clicking the **"Create API Key"** button.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save the API Key and Secret Key.

After creating the key, Bitfinex will display the API details.

This screen displays:

* API key;
* API key secret.

Copy them immediately and save them in a secure place.

Please note: The API key secret and API key are displayed only once and will no longer be available after you close the page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Connect Bitfinex to Tiger.com

Now open the Tiger.com terminal and add a connection to Bitfinex by going to **File → Connections → New Connection → Crypto Exchanges → Bitfinex.**

<figure><img src="/files/l0VHM53c6lUpfliTDquA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

At this stage, you need to:

1. Specify a connection name, e.g., **Bitfinex** (optional);
2. Optionally, enable **"view-only" mode and skip entering API keys** (note that trading will not be permitted in this mode);
3. If "view-only" mode is disabled, enter the API keys from step 7:
   1. API Key;
   2. API Secret.
4. Select **"Not used"** in the **Proxy** field (optional).
5. Click the **"Connect to BingX"** button.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Completing the connection

Once successfully connected, the Bitfinex exchange will appear in the list of available connections on Tiger.com.

The connection process is considered complete at this stage.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.tiger.com/english/settings/connections/crypto-exchanges/bitfinex.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
