Give this API a name. You can name it "CryptoHero".&#x20;

Check the "API trading" option

Check the permissions **Read** AND **Trade**. Do **NOT** check the Withdraw permission. CryptoHero will **never ever** need to withdraw your funds.

Enter a unique **Passphrase (note this passphrase as you will need to copy it into CryptoHero)**. Be sure to write this down as you will need to enter it in CryptoHero. A passphrase is needed to create the API. This is not your account password. Each passphrase should be unique to each API.&#x20;

Click the \[Submit All] button.

A verification window will appear. Please fulfil the verification checks.
