Set up a new API Key
- Click on the “Create V5 API Key” button and label the new key

Enter all the required verification codes:
- Verification code received in your registered e-mail address (push the Send code action first)

Once you will submit the verification form, another pop-up window will appear. Finally, there will be your API Key details.
You will need the API key (a public key) and the Secret key (private key) in the following steps to set up a connection between the OKX exchange and the BTC DCA App.
- Please, note to not store these details anywhere else (especially not in the digital form)
