You can enter your API key to connect your exchange account to CCXT Terminal, and view your balances and place orders without logging into your exchange. Enabling 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) is required before adding API keys.

Managing Multiple Keys
CCXT Terminal supports multiple API keys for a single exchange. Connected keys are listed inside the Balance section.
Main Key: The app routes orders through one active key at a time. The first key you connect becomes the main key by default.
Switching Keys: Change your active key by opening the context menu or list icon next to the desired key and selecting Set as Main.
Deleting Keys: Remove a key using the context menu. Disconnecting the primary key automatically designates the next oldest key as the main key.
