Getting the API Key

Generate your API credentials to start integrating with MintMove

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Sign In or Register

If you don't have a MintMove account, visit mintmove.io and create a new account. If you already have an account, sign in with your credentials.

2

Navigate to API Management

Once logged in, go to your Dashboard and click on API Management in the navigation menu. This section allows you to manage all your API credentials.

3

Generate API Key

Click the Generate API Key button. You'll be prompted to give your API key a name (e.g., "Production Server" or "Trading Bot"). This helps you identify different keys if you create multiple ones.

4

Save Your Credentials Securely

After generation, you'll see two important values:

  • API Key - Your public identifier (starts with mm_)
  • API Secret - Your private key (starts with sk_)

⚠️ Critical: The API Secret is only shown once during generation. If you lose it, you'll need to generate a new API key. Make sure to copy and store it securely immediately.

Security Warnings

Never Expose Secrets on Frontend

Your API secret must never be included in client-side code (JavaScript, mobile apps, browser extensions). Anyone can view the source code and extract your secret, leading to unauthorized access to your account.

Always use API keys server-side only. If you need to make API calls from a frontend application, create a backend proxy that handles authentication securely.

Secure Storage Recommendations

  • ✓Store API secrets in environment variables (e.g., .env files)
  • ✓Use secret management services (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, etc.)
  • ✓Never commit secrets to version control (add .env to .gitignore)
  • ✓Use different API keys for development, staging, and production environments
  • ✓Rotate API keys periodically (every 90 days recommended)

API Key Management

In the API Management section, you can:

  • •View all your active API keys and their creation dates
  • •See the last usage timestamp for each key
  • •Revoke API keys that are no longer needed
  • •Set IP whitelist restrictions for enhanced security
  • •Monitor API usage and rate limit status
