What Is the API Keys Page?

The Signal Trade App API keys page for creating and managing programmatic access keys — The API Keys page: create and manage keys for programmatic access to your account.

The API Keys page lets you create and revoke API keys for programmatic access. Use keys to send orders from TradingView webhooks, build custom dashboards, or connect external risk systems.

How to Create an API Key

Go to API Keys.
Click Create New Key.
Give the key a name, for example: "TradingView MNQ Strategy".
Select the scopes you need: read-only, place orders, or manage groups.
Click Generate and copy the key immediately. It is shown only once.

API Key Scopes

Scope	What It Allows
read	Read accounts, groups, positions, and journal data.
trade	Send orders and modify positions.
groups	Create, update, and delete copy groups.
admin	Full account access (ADMIN users only).

Using Your Key

Include the key in the Authorization header of every request:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

API documentation is available at /api-docs.

Security Best Practices

Never commit API keys to public repositories.
Use a separate key for each integration.
Revoke keys immediately if you suspect they are exposed.
Use read-only scopes for dashboards that do not need to trade.
