## Connecting your Kucoin wallet

### Kucoin Configuration:

* Refer to the [KuCoin.com API Documentation](https://www.kucoin.com/support/360015102174-How-to-Create-an-API) to learn how to generate an API key. 
  * You can also generate an API key directly from Kucoin UI under the account settings section: "API Management".\
    ![](https://3771140574-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F8IalT1MgRM7yyitZgPO5%2Fuploads%2F6liQnFwQLqcC7qc4oZ0R%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=067dec8d-8292-4bd7-bd33-9b0357c08433)
  * When creating a key we recommend naming the API key - "inabit", so there won't be any confusion with other future/existing keys. 
* After you confirm the validity of your new API key, keep a record copy of both the API Key and Secret Key. You will need them when adding this exchange to your organization.
* Make sure you've enabled the following API restrictions when generating the keys:
  * **General**
  * **Spot Trading**
  * **Transfer**
* Under the IP Restriction section, click on "Yes" and add the following IP to the list, as follows:![](https://3771140574-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F8IalT1MgRM7yyitZgPO5%2Fuploads%2FDv00dfcbGDGWTsX3zBBu%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=62099b38-bab7-4bc8-ae51-1d2812ad98a9)
