Invalid API Key for binance.us account

lspolidoro · August 30, 2021, 4:02pm

Hello,
I have a binance .us account, and all the authenticated requests (even just GET requests) are failing with the error : “-2008 Invalid Api-Key ID”. Here is what I tried:

I’m double checked I copy-pasted the API key and secret correctly, and I also re-generated those.
I tried with the official Postman Collection, but I still receive the error.
I tried to change the base API url to https://api.binance .us but also no luck.
I read this post why do I see this error "Invalid API-key, IP, or permissions for action." beforehand but it wasn’t helpful.

If I use keys generated from a binance .com account, it works, but I really need to use the ones from binance .us.

thanks for any help.

Hello, binance.us account’s API Keys needs to be used with base url https://api.binance.us.
Can you create a new API Key and retry again?

I tried that, but even with api.binance.us as base url, and re-generating the API keys it didn’t work.

I don’t know what else to try.

I found the solution.
It’s pretty crazy: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67890000/binance-future-api-invalid-api-key-ip-or-permissions-for-action
