Step 5: Label Your Key and Choose API Permissions

Give your API key a name of your choice, so you can easily understand that this key is connected to your CryptoSea account.

Please note that you will also need to set up a Passphrase. This password is individual for each API key. Save it somewhere safe because you will need it in the future.

Make sure you mark both "Read" and "Trade" API permissions. These permissions will enable the CryptoSea trading algorithm to execute trades effectively.

Insert all the codes for the security verification, and proceed by clicking the "Confirm" button.

Step 6: Generate your API Key and API Secret

Copy the generated API Key and API Secret and store them in a secure location. Alternatively, leave the API dashboard window open for easy access to the keys.

Step 7: Go back to the CryptoSea Dashboard

Paste the copied keys in the designated fields, together with your created Passphrase and proceed further by clicking the "Connect" button.

Step 8: Confirm if the Connection is Successful

If everything is done correctly, you will see OKX added to the list of your connected exchanges in your CryptoSea dashboard, together with your available trading balance.

Congratulations! You have successfully connected your OKX account to CryptoSea.
