Step 1

Open API and connections in your OKX account

Sign in to OKX, open your Profile and choose API and connections to start your tradingview webhook automation setup.

OKX requires a minimum balance of 100 USD on the account before it will let you create an API key

Step 2

Create an API key

Click Create API key. OKX first shows the OKX API Agreement — accept it with Continue to reach the creation form.

Each main account and sub-account can hold up to 50 active API keys

Step 3

Fill in the API key form

Give the key a name you will recognise later, then set the options below. Read permission is always on and cannot be switched off.

Used for — API trading
Permissions — tick Trade; leave Withdraw, Earn, Loan and Transfer off
Markets — tick Spot & Margin, plus Perpetual if you trade futures
Crypto — add at least one coin; OKX will not let you submit the form with an empty list
Turn on Trusted IP addresses and add 35.75.198.16 — a key with trade permission and no IP linked expires after 14 days of inactivity, a linked key does not expire
Passphrase — 8–32 characters, with at least one lowercase, one uppercase, one number and one special character

Step 4

Choose exchange value by OKX account region

Use the correct exchange route for your account: OKX_US (US and AU users registered on app.okx.com, API https://us.okx.com), OKX_EU (EU users registered on my.okx.com, API https://eea.okx.com), and OKX (global users registered on www.okx.com, API https://openapi.okx.com).

Step 5

Save API credentials securely

Submit the form, then copy the API key, secret and passphrase before leaving the page — the secret and passphrase are shown only once and cannot be recovered. Continue to page 2 for real-time trade execution webhook setup.
