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.

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."

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.
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.
