Connect Gate with a read-only key

Flicker reads positions, balances and orders with this key. Where Gate reports its permissions, Flicker refuses a key that can trade or withdraw, so create a read-only one.

On Gate

  1. Sign in to Gate, hover over your profile icon, then choose API Management.

  2. Choose Create API Key and name it Flicker.

  3. Set every permission to Read Only, never Read and Write.

    API key permissions

    • ReadSee positions, balances and ordersOn
    • TradePlace or cancel ordersOff
    • WithdrawMove funds outOff
    Illustration. Each exchange names these permissions in its own words.

  4. Restrict the key to Flicker's IP address, 18.153.160.58. It's recommended for security.

  5. Confirm with your fund password and 2FA, then copy the Key and Secret Key.

  6. Paste it below. Where the exchange reports it, Flicker checks what the key can do before saving it.

What you'll see after connecting

  • Every open position with entry, mark and unrealized P&L, beside your other exchanges.
  • Gate doesn't share stops with Flicker yet, so its positions read “Not reported by this exchange” and the loss-at-stop total leaves them out.
  • Flicker's read on each asset you hold: its verdict and how many factors agree.
  • Closed trades as a record and a weekly review. R needs the stop at entry, which Gate doesn't share yet.

If something goes wrong

When Gate rejects a key, check that it was copied whole, has read access and allows 18.153.160.58. Each message below comes with its fix.
