BTC DCA & Coinmate: How to set up an API key

Connect Coinmate to BTC DCA securely so your recurring Bitcoin purchases, sales, and withdrawals can run automatically.

Before you start, create a Coinmate account if you do not already have one.

Sign in or sign up

Sign in to your Coinmate account. New users can register directly with Coinmate.

Open the API menu

Open the account menu in the top-right corner of Coinmate and choose API.

Set up an API key

Create a new API key and configure it as follows:

  • Enable account information, trading, and withdrawals if you plan to use those BTC DCA features.
  • For withdrawal security, enable withdrawals only to template addresses and add approved addresses in Coinmate.
  • Give the key a recognizable label.
  • Restrict access to the BTC DCA server IP address: 2001:1528:240::1f.
