Kucoin

Connecting to the Kucoin exchange

1

Step 1. Authorization on the exchange

  • Register on the Kucoin website (if you haven't already) and log in to your account.

  • Click the profile icon in the upper right corner and select "API Management" from the drop-down menu.

2

Step 2: Create an API Key

  • On the API management page, click the Create API button.

3

Step 3: Configuring Basic API Parameters

  • On the API creation page, fill out the following fields:

    • API Name - Enter a user-friendly name for your key (e.g., "TigerTrade")

    • API Password - Create and enter a password (this will be your PassPhrase)

    ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Remember or save your API password (PassPhrase) - it will be required when connecting to Tiger.com and cannot be recovered!

  • In the "API Restrictions" section, select the desired access level.

4

Step 4: Setting up IP restrictions

  • Scroll down and configure IP Restrictions:

    • Trusted IPs Only (Recommended) - specify specific IP addresses for maximum security;

    • Unrestricted - allow access from any IP address (less secure)

    ⚠️ ATTENTION: Selecting "Unrestricted" will display a security warning. KuCoin is not responsible for unauthorized access without IP restrictions.

  • Carefully review the API key security information.

  • Click "Next."

5

Step 5: Complete the security check

  • Complete the required security checks:

    • Email verification;

    • Phone verification;

    • Google Authenticator code (2FA).

6

Step 6. Saving the generated keys

  • After successful verification, a window will open with your API keys. ATTENTION:

    • API Key - your public key (starts with letters and numbers);

    • Secret - your secret key (will only be displayed once!);

    • PassPhrase - the password you set in step 3.

    ⚠️ CRITICALLY IMPORTANT:

  • The Secret is displayed ONLY ONCE! Be sure to copy it and save it in a safe place.

    • If you lose your Secret, you will have to create a new API key.

    • Never share your API keys with third parties;

    • Copy the API Key and Secret (click the copy icons to the right of each field);

    • Click the "Confirm" button.

7

Step 7. Launch Tiger.Trade

  • Launch Tiger.Trade and select File → Connections → Configure from the main menu.

  • In the window that opens, click "Create a new connection" and select Kucoin from the list.

8

Step 8. Entering credentials

  • In the window that opens, fill in the following fields:

    • API Key - paste your Kucoin API Key;

    • API Secret - paste your Kucoin Secret;

    • PassPhrase - enter the API password you created in step 3;

    • View-only mode (optional) - enable if you only want to view data without trading capabilities;

    • Proxy (optional) - select a proxy server if your ISP blocks access to Kucoin.

Step 9. Completing the connection

  • Click the "Connect to Kucoin" button.
