# Quick Start

## API Key Setup[​](https://developers.binance.com/docs/derivatives/quick-start)

-   Some endpoints will require an API Key. Please refer to [this page](https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/how-to-create-api-keys-on-binance-360002502072) regarding API key creation.
-   Once API key is created, it is recommended to set IP restrictions on the key for security reasons.
-   **Never share your API key/secret key to ANYONE.**

## API Key Restrictions[​](https://developers.binance.com/docs/derivatives/quick-start)

-   After creating the API key, the default restrictions is `Enable Reading`.
-   To **enable withdrawals via the API**, the API key restriction needs to be modified through the Binance UI.
