How to Create a Read-Only API Key on FreedX

Follow these steps to create a read-only API key to connect your FreedX account to Flicker:

Prerequisites

• An active FreedX account
• Completed email verification and 2FA setup

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Access API Management

• Log in to your FreedX account
• Visit https://freedx.com/en/account/my-api

2. Create New API Key

• Click the "Create API Key" button
• Give your API key a descriptive name (e.g., "Flicker Read-Only")

3. Set Permissions (Important)

• Only enable the "Read" permission
• Do NOT enable "Trade", "Transfer", or "Withdraw" permissions
• This ensures Flicker can only view your account information and cannot execute trades or transfers

4. Configure IP Restrictions

• Choose one of the following options:
  • Unrestricted — works out of the box but less secure
  • IP Restricted (recommended) — hardcode Flicker's IP address for enhanced security: 18.153.160.58Copy

5. Confirm and Save Your Credentials

• Complete any required security verification (email/2FA)
• Immediately copy and securely store:
  • API Key
  • Secret Key
• These credentials are shown only once and cannot be retrieved later

6. Connect to Flicker

• Use the saved API Key and Secret Key to connect your FreedX account to Flicker

Security Best Practices

• ✅ Only enable the "Read" permission for account monitoring
• ✅ Store your credentials securely (password manager recommended)
• ✅ Consider binding your API key to Flicker's IP for enhanced security
• ❌ Never enable trading or withdrawal permissions for third-party integrations
• ❌ Never share your API credentials with anyone
