Connect Gate.io
Connecting your Gate.io account lets Altrady see your balances and place trades for you. It only takes a few minutes, and Altrady never needs, or asks for, withdrawal permission, so your funds always stay on Gate.io.
Step 1: Start adding the account in Altrady
- Log into Altrady.
- Go to the Exchange Accounts page and open the API keys page.

Step 2: Create the API key on Gate.io

- Fill in the details for the key:
- Give it a label, for example Altrady key.
- Paste the IP whitelist you copied earlier into the IP Permissions field.
- Leave the API type as V4.
- Under permissions, enable Spot trading with Read and Write access.
- Click Submit.
Altrady only ever needs Spot trading (Read and Write) permission; never enable a withdrawal permission for your Altrady key.

Step 3: Connect the key back in Altrady

- Choose the API version: Default, or Unified if you have a unified account.
- Copy the API key and secret into Altrady.
- Click Connect.

Thatโs it: your Gate.io account is now connected to Altrady. You can edit the details anytime from the Accounts page.
Important: never delete your API key in Altrady. Deleting it removes all of your trade, order, position, and portfolio history. If you need to change your key or secret, edit the existing entry instead.

If your balances donโt update right away, give it a little time, or open the account and reconnect it to force a refresh.
