# Setting up crypto Exchange using Binance

In this article we will guide you through setting up Binance with our service. It's a simple process and will allow you to make automation conversions when using our service (more information on that [here](/kb/tutorials/dashboard/setting-up-exchange-automation-rules)).

You need to go to your Binance account and create an API Key to provide to BlockBee.

## Part 1: Creating Binance API Key

### Step 1: Access API Management

In your Binance account click **API Management**.

### Step 3: Set API Label

After clicking Create API a modal will open where you'll need to set a label for your API Key. In this case you can set **"BlockBee"** as the label and click **Next** (after clicking next you will need to confirm your account credentials).

### Step 4: Configure API Key Permissions

Clicking Next will take you to the API Key page where you will need to **copy both the API Key and Secret Key** to somewhere safe.

> **WARNING**
>**Important:** Please don't lose your Secret Key otherwise you will need to create a new API Key.


You will also need to enable a permission called **Enabled Spot & Margin Trading** so BlockBee is able to convert the values paid to your Binance address. After it's done you must click **Save** to save the settings.

> **INFO**
>**Note:** You must also add our IPs to the IP access restrictions. You must select the option **"Restrict access to trusted IPs only"** and add these IPs:
> - `51.77.105.132`
> - `135.125.112.47`

>**Important:** After saving your settings, your API Key and Secret Key will no longer be visible. If you need to change your API Key, you'll need to delete your configuration and start over.
