Step 1

Open API management on Gate

Sign in to Gate, hover over the profile icon at the top of the page and choose APIs. Account verification, a fund password and 2FA must already be set up.

Step 2

Start creating an API key

Click Create API Key on the API management page.

Step 3

Choose an APIv4 key, not APIv2

Select API v4 Key. TradeAdapter calls Gate's v4 endpoints, so an APIv2 key will not work — and APIv2 is limited to spot trading in any case. Add a remark you will recognise later, and pick the account type that matches your strategy.

Step 4

Set permissions and bind the TradeAdapter IP

Set the permissions to Read and Write for the markets you intend to trade, then bind the key to the TradeAdapter address. A key with no IP bound expires after 90 days.

Step 5

Complete the security verification

Read the risk reminder, accept it, then enter your fund password and 2FA code to finish creating the key.

Step 6

Save the API key and secret

Copy the key and secret before leaving the page — the secret is shown only at creation time.

Step 7

Continue to TradingView webhook setup

Paste the key and secret into your TradeAdapter Gate connection, then continue to page 2 to connect TradingView alerts for real-time trade execution.
