How to create and set up WazirX API key

Here, we show you how to generate and connect WazirX API key to the Doblox trading platform.

Doblox is a trading platform that allows you to trade and analyze in numerous cryptocurrency exchanges, monitor media and social media and use many other features in an all in one interface.

To do so, you should use an exchange API key. This is a safe and reliable way to use a trading platform because it does not give access to your confidential data as Doblox also does not access any funds management (withdrawals & deposits).

1. API Key (Access Key): This key authenticates users and specifies which account is connecting to the third-party service.

2. Secret Key: This key establishes an additional security layer by demanding a confidential token for request authentication.

3. IP Whitelist: In late 2022, as a result of heightened security measures, exchanges started expiring API keys periodically. Consequently, platforms like Doblox now offer the ability to specify IP whitelist addresses, aiming to enhance security without burdening users with the need to frequently change API keys.

Note: You can connect several exchange accounts to your Doblox account to speed your trading and make it more sophisticated and smoother with less stress and exhaustion.

1. Login into your WazirX account.

2. Click on profile (the dummy icon on the upper right-hand corner of the screen). When the drop-down menu is open, choose the “Account Settings” option.

1. A new page pops up. On the left menu, find “API Manager” and click on it.

1. Now click on “Create New Key”.

2. When you enter your Doblox account, click on the profile (dummy icon) on the upper right-hand corner of the panel and choose the “Exchange Management” option.

1. Choose WazirX from the first drop-down field (Exchange).

1. Fill the “API key” and “Secret key” Fields with the given keys that you took from WazirX.

Important: You can use the code in the “API Whitelist” field for future steps.
